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.
Howdy, y'all! So my friend did not make it to quartet practice yesterday, but the other three of us got together and sang. I'm headed to IES Wednesday through Sunday, which is an education event put on by Sweet Adelines International -- it should be huge and awesome and lots of fun and probably exhausting. My friend had also planned to go, and she is keeping to that plan. Per one of her emails, "It's time to move on into the new normal, whatever the new normal is." She's way more resilient than I think I would be.
Anyway, how's your Monday looking? Docket, Ginny and I have had a break in the heat and humidity around these parts ... not that we're boasting ...
HM - have fun at your seminar.
We're heading out for a few days in the woods. We haven't been backpacking in a couple of years, so I'm not sure how it will go. Between his knee and his feet, Jim has a hard time hiking as we used to do, but he is determined to keep trying. So I probably won't get any running done this week, but I'll get to play in the mountains.

Mondays can suck it. My knee started hurting on Saturday when I did certain things, like running, ha. So, I took off work and went to the ortho urgent care. Just as I thought, I have the patella tracking incorrectly (normal post surgery) and has inflamed the underneath and surrounding tendons. More PT to strengthen the knee and rest for 7 days. Oh, well. I'm tapering for Iceland after all.
HopesMom, good luck!
Ginny, enjoy the woods.

Don't ignore your hips either, Docket! Bet Iceland will be a blast!
