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.
So now that the word is out, I can tell you that my friend's husband was murdered on Wednesday night. He was the manager of a CVS in Warrenton, and it looks like he closed the store and then either heard or saw something out back. He went to check it out, and someone shot and killed him.
It just really sucks. Our director told the chorus last night (she's one of our best members, and also in my new quartet), which was difficult for everyone.
So there you go. Hug your loved ones!
How awful for your friend and her family! I'm sorry.

Afternoon! Didn't run last night, so 6 miles tonight.
HopesMom, oh, no. So sorry to hear that. Hoping they are found and convicted.

Rainy couple of days here, but I managed half my run before the rain started. I got drenched the second half, but at 77, it wasn't cold. I ended up with 7.2, with 3 miles at tempo pace.
