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.
Morning, Penguins!! Did my little run/walk this morning with DH and Dusty, and MAN, is it humid!! Chewbacca (one of our cats) decided to follow us for a quarter-loop. It was quite funny, most of our furry family trotting down the road. Then there was one of the big spiders whose eyeshine shows up in my headlamp , so I detoured around him. We woke up barky dogs at four houses along the way, bet the neighbors LOVE us!! And then there are the roosters one neighborhood over (bet the neighbors LOVE them!!) And finally, when I got to work, this nice lady informed me that there was a snake on the parking deck elevator. I didn't see it when I opened the elevator door, but opted for the stairs anyway.
So I'm curious, and a little nervous, as to what the rest of the day will bring!
Morning! I have 9 miles tonight.
HopesMom, lol. I have seen cats following their masters (aka, slaves) as they walk outside. One that was particularly very whiny. We called him whiny whiny. Wish it was my cat.

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.

At one of the campgrounds we stayed at in Florida there was a woman walking her cat on a leash. It seemed pretty happy. Then there's the guy I met who adopted a cat while canoeing down the Mississippi. When he started to hike the AT north from Georgia he tried to get the cat to walk with him, but it was used to riding in the boat so refused to move. He ended up carrying the cat all the way to New York.
Another day with a DP of 70 and temperature of 89 or so, so I'll do some miles on the TM.
