Beginners and Beyond

Quiet igloo Tuesday Penguins (Read 5 times)


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!!  I have quartet rehearsal tonight, woo-hoo!!  For a change I don't think we have any gigs looming in the near future, which is good, since we're currently working on three new pieces of music.  DH's 50th birthday is Saturday, so I'm trying to figure out if he wants us to actually celebrate, or if he'd rather pretend it isn't happening.  I think he's torn between the two.

        HopesMom, enjoy rehearsal!

            Return To Racing

              3 run and 3 walk.  DW even got up early to beat the heat.  A Tesla blocked the crosswalk while we were running so I ran straight at it and it moved back.  Autonomous driving really works !!!

               

              Forecast for this weekend is 70's by the Lake, Docket.

                  Not sure if you are looking at the same forecast but the high for the race is said to be 86F for the day, 60% chance of rain (zipcode of my hotel by the Lake) which is not bad, considering it is still feels like 98F right now.  Still, not sure if we are going (long story that I will tell later) but hoping to know tomorrow.
