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.
And I do mean "hum", because I have quartet practice tonight!! So Murphy's Law seems to be leaving me alone today. The runs I set up yesterday are still going strong and looking good, and I made it in to work with zero coffee explosions. So woo-hoo, it's a Wednesday!!
I predict:
47 miles on the TM for Docket
Everything works out for Jill's house
Scotty sticks his head back in the igloo
PAD has already done 4 and will do group tonight
Jerryb and Mrs. Jerryb will do 4 easy
Ginny will pop by from somewhere exciting
Brilliant will say that she's running, just not posting much.
Return To Racing
Nope HsM, we are doing a fast 2,000 to Portland.
Well, at least I don't make my living as a psychic!!
Penguin Power!
Got 5 miles done this morning.
Today is just more decluttering/moving prep and maybe calling up a few more mortgage companies to compare rates. I got a home insurance quote yesterday and found out some interesting information from them. Home buying is way harder than picking an apartment to rent, that's for sure.
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)
Only got 3 and gym tonight. Groups on Tuesday.
LOL, actually only Barre class for me.
Hubby's follow up appointment went well. Still having seizures so the neuro will get some of the meds on track and he is cleared to run, fly, live, everything he wants.

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.
