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.
Howdy Penguins, it's National Pickle Day!! I like pickles, DH hates them. I've never tried drinking pickle juice for cramps, though. It's also National Spicy Guacamole Day, but I'm a complete and utter spice wuss.
I like guacamole a lot better than pickles. Jim likes sweet pickles with cheese bites and I'll eat one, but it's not my favorite thing.
I may do a few miles at the park or join the Beer Runners this evening. There will be a Brooks rep at the running store and I am interested in checking out their new shoe but I'm not sure I want to only run four miles today.
Count me out for hating pickles! Although if they are finally chopped and I need them for a recipe I'll add them but angrily! I have Pilates and 8 with 4 @ MP tonight.
HopesMom, I can get on the guacamole train, since I eat an avocado a day...

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.

Docket, I'm laughing at you huffing at your pickle-necessary recipes!! I tend to pile them on my burger or hot dog, then put a few more extra slices on the side ...
