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.
Hi HsM! Late day for me too.
Made it out of bed this morning, although I'm still definitely dragging. Quartet rehearsal last night was quite nice, but I will miss chorus rehearsal tonight. We have a "named lecture" going on tonight, which means we invite a higher-level speaker from far away, and everybody has to dress up and attend. I know the speaker and his work, and it should be interesting enough, but it means I'll leave for home around 7:00 tonight. Then I'm off tomorrow, to head out to Fall Music School for Sweet Adelines. Should be a lovely singing weekend!!
Hiya, Zel!!
Hi, both of you! I have 5 miles and weights.
Welcome back, Hope's Mom!

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.

9 TM miles this morning, and a long day ahead.
Pad - good job on the TM miles. Rainy?
HopesMom - welcome back. I hope you had fun in Washington. Have fun at your weekend songfest.
D - I hope your 5 were easy ones.
Z - I hope you got your streak mile in, at least, after your late day. More training?
AFM: I did 6.5 slow hilly miles. My Garmin is doing odd things with elevation these days, either too little or too much. Weird.
