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.
Well, my mom developed an infection in her new hip, so she's back in the hospital with surgery scheduled for 1:30 today. Hoping they don't have to remove the joint and start the whole procedure over!!
Solar guy comes to hopefully fix whatever our issue is today around noon.
And tomorrow DH and I have dentist appointments. I was supposed to have a faculty meeting, and because of that I'd planned to skip a mid-day chorus performance. I got an email half an hour ago that we're not having a faculty meeting after all. But I think I'm going to skip the performance anyway -- it's a bit too late to ask off for the day, and the dentist appointments would bump up against the performance anyway. Wish I'd had a bit more notice, though!
Morning! I have 12-14 miles tonight, depending on time after work.
Hope, hoping your mom's surgery goes well. Ugh at the infection.

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.

An early morning at the hospital for me. An Aunt had a Heart Cath and got a stent put in but doing well. Not sure what I'll run today.
Mom's surgery went well, now for 2-6 weeks of IV antibiotics. Our solar was down, turned out to be a blown fuse (go figure). I think tonight demands a bubble bath, maybe a glass of wine!
