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.
Somehow, no matter how restful my weekend is, I'm never ready for Monday!! I packed up my gig bag this morning, as our quartet is singing for the Richmond chorus this evening. Last chance to put the package in front of friendly people before competition!! I think it'll be fun, and I'm looking forward to the weekend, although I will also be glad when the weekend is finished and I can relax. It's all good. Tons to do for work today!
HopesMom - Have fun tonight.
I'm stiff and sore, barely hobbling, but a bit better than after my first marathon. I was able to climb the stairs into the house at least, even if it wasn't easy. Ben is sick again. He must have eaten something on one of our walks that he shouldn't have. Jim had to take him out 3 times last night. (At least he lets us know when he's in distress, so we don't wake up to a mess in the living room.) And it's raining. Definitely a Monday.
Ginny, congrats! Sounds like you ran a hell of a race!
HsM, good luck!
I am going to Knott's Berry Farm with my daughter today. Unfortunately, I am sunburned from my LR yesterday.
Morning! 6 miles for me tonight. Ran 14 yesterday and my knee was happy about it!
Hope, the same thing happens to me. Mondays suck.
Ginny, congrats again!
Z, hoping your sunburn is not too bad.

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.
