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.
Good morning, Penguins!! It's Use Less Stuff Day! I am not a minimalist by any stretch of the imagination, nor do I really have minimalist tendencies. It's more like I wish I wanted to be a minimalist. Still, I have cleaned out my closet once or twice in the last decade, and this morning I threw away two plastic water bottles that had for some reason been in the bedroom for over a year.
The weather is beautiful today, but my walk will have to be sandwiched between a faculty meeting at 12:30 (snore) and seminar at 3:30 (more snore). Chorus rehearsal tonight!
Morning. Not a minimalist here. I have Pilates, OTF and 5 miles tonight.
HopesMom, enjoy the walk!

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.

I don't buy much stuff, but I also don't throw much away. I'd love to get rid of 3/4 of our books and at least half my clothes that I never wear, but have been too lazy to actually take the time.
HM- enjoy your chorus rehearsal. I hope you managed a nice walk between naps.
D - enjoy your busy evening workouts. Sounds exhausting.
It's really windy here, so my run will be a cold workout. Probably 5-6 miles.
