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 my Saturday run was fine -- I don't like getting up early for it, but I do enjoy going back to bed once it's over! This morning's run was actually a bit chilly -- I could see my breath and everything!
My chorus party on Saturday was a blast, topped off by my cheesecake, which turned out really well, if I do say so myself!
Cheesecake layer (vanilla), chocolate mousse layer, chocolate ganache layer. Yum!!
Mmm cheesecake! RD for me today.
Mon Dieu! We are back!
I have Pilates and 4. I don't like chocolate but damn, now I want cake.

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 like plain cheesecake best, or with just a hint of lime or lemon, but that does look scrumptious.
HopesMom - do you plan to do any races this fall, or are you focusing on running for fun?
D - Enjoy the short run.
PAD - I hope you enjoyed your rest day.
I did 6 easy this afternoon, outside at last. It felt warm in the sun, but I really enjoyed it.
HsM, that cheesecake looks amazing!
Ginny- Glad you got a run in the sunshine. We'll be missing it soon enough!
Tonight is Cypress' last night at home before college. I spent it at the track so that I don't have to run my 8 x 600 on a treadmill tomorrow. We did have a good time this weekend. I made chocolate mango scones.
