Singer who runs a smidge
The "Penguin" daily threads were originally conceived to emphasize that all members of the community have a place on the boards. Encouragement, motivation, a little love nip (you will love one, give it a try!) or even a little kick in the pants when needed -- it can happen here. Basically, we celebrate just getting out there and moving our tails! What is "slow"? "Slow" is a perception but one of the common benchmarks is the 10:00/mi pace; but there's no firm line. In fact, there are many of us that have slipped past this, and just hope that no one notices and revokes their "igloo privileges." And some penguins don't run at all, we just hang out for the company! It can be confusing for the forum newbies, but we're not one of the teams in any of the fine games. It's a totally open group, so stop lurking, post an introduction of yourself dive in and join the fun! No application necessary! There might even be a lovely picture for Scotty (we love pics!)
When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run. The only thing that matters is how we have loved.
I finished reading "When Breath Becomes Air" yesterday, and it left me feeling pensive, thinking about how I live my everyday life, and pondering how to be more intentional during my day. Which is no bad thing to contemplate!
Thunderstorms this morning left Chewbacca hiding behind the couch and Dusty, complete with Thundershirt and melatonin, squished up on the couch against DH. Maggie and Kaycee didn't care, since they're not really freaked out by loud noises. Chorus rehearsal tonight!!
HM - we have rain, but no thunder yet. ATM, we are in a tiny rain free corridor, surrounded by yellow, orange and red. Time to walk the dog. . Have fun at rehearsal tonight.
I'll do 4 or 5 TM miles this afternoon. It is very wet and gloomy outside.
Afternoon! I have 12 and Pilates but no time to do it all at once so ran 7 on the TM at lunch and will split the TM with hubby tonight as it is 94F and the fires have rhe place full of smoke.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.
