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.
Except for Docket, of course!
We're looking at highs of 30 for Saturday and Sunday, lows in the teens, so we'll be freezing as I'm jaunting around doing chorus stuff. We have coaching on Saturday.
Tonight is quartet practice, woo-hoo!! Gotta get ready for the show in February!
Yeap, we opted out of anything cool or not warm related.
I have 6 miles tonight. I still don't have my car since the accident 2 weeks ago, grrrr.

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.

HM - the cold hits us tomorrow. Today we just have wind, lots of wind. Enjoy your rehearsals.
D - when do you expect to get your car back? Good luck with the 6 tonight. Is your cold gone completely?
I had a nice 8 mile run today. I ran toward town and met Jim at the library so I wouldn't be fighting the wind all the way. It worked. One problem with running in farm country is there is nothing to block the wind across the empty fields as the houses are spread out enough they don't help much.
I had to stop three times to cough or relief my nose from clogging during my run, so I suspect no. Gah.
No idea when the car will be ready. My husband is in charge of their information and he is clueless now. Sigh.
The chill is here already! Lows in the teens for the next few days, and maybe it will get up to freezing. It snowed this morning and then froze into black ice so I ran on the TM tonight. 6 miles is the longest TM run I've done since October. It took a little while to remember how to relax into a TM run, but I think I got the hang of it.
