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!)
RD & yard work for me today. Going to watch a recording session for Cancer Blows this afternoon. Same team I ran the 5k with yesterday, raising funds for MMRF.
Singer who runs a smidge
Morning, Penguins!! I have a headache today (change in the weather, again?) and our new heat pump is being installed even as I type. Though they might actually be done by now -- DH sent a text that they'd pulled the old one out already, about an hour ago. Guess I should go pay that bill!
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.
PAD - enjoy your RD.
HM - did they get the solar problem worked out?
D - did you actually get picked for a jury?
Me: still coughing. This makes three days of no running. I hate being sick.
They're coming on Wednesday to look at the solar issue. I'm annoyed I'm missing out on some actual sun, but what can you do?
Evening! I had jury duty most of the day and got back from our Cincinnati trip last night. But NOT picked for a jury this time. Ran the HM with hubby and although it was hilly as fuck, we had fun (I ran the marathon last year and I recalled how bad it was but apparently hubby had amnesia).
Anyway, 7 recovery miles done.

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.
