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!! It's National Sneakers Day, and since runners go though sneakers (sort of) like crazy, I figured it was an appropriate holiday to celebrate. Except for me, of course, because I don't run and have been on the same pair of VFF's for years. It's all good.
Doing lots of crazy stuff today, only some of which has to do with my actual job (shh, don't tell anybody!) But I do have training on the new HR system, from 1-3. Seriously, two freaking hours of training?? I will definitely be bringing my phone with. And I am NOT looking forward to this. How much you wanna bet this could be covered in an email, or a training video, or about 20 minutes of actual instruction?
Morning! Back from Chicago and we got home at 2am, sigh. Just woke up. SRD.
HopesMom, who has training on a Monday.

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.

HM - I hope the training wasn't too boring.
D - enjoy your rest and holiday.
Rest or xt day here. It's really wet outside from the remnants of Nate, but the rain seems to have stopped so at least we don't have to worry about getting soaked while walking Ben..
Traning was actually ok, mostly because a lovely lady I usually only see in the bathroom was also attending, so we got to chat and actually learn each others' names.
MAN, is it hot and soupy outside!! Currently 85, feels like 94. Dewpoint of 75. Blech!!
