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.
It's World Pasta Day!! And since I have sun-dried tomato pasta for lunch today, I'll be celebrating! I am definitely feeling the lack of sleep that comes with working for a living (too bad I have material needs like housing and food, doh!) My tech is out today doing a science field trip with his kid, and I just got a phone call from a customer saying that instead of doing his original 8 samples, he wants to do all 24. Looks like I need to spend some time in the lab today!
So how's tricks with everyone else?
You had me at pasta. ❤
Amen to that!!
No pasta here. We're having chili, using up the last of the home grown tomatoes. There are a few still on the vine, but they don't look very edible. I don't know whether bugs got them or what, but I think I'll let them continue to rot where they are.
I did 7.3 easy miles this afternoon. Beautiful autumn day. Tomorrow we have to drive to Frederick, MD to a specialty vet for Ben. Evidently none of the local vets do cancer treatment/surgery. Tomorrow is just consultation and tests, to find out what is actually wrong, but it is likely to be a tumor.

Hope it all works out!
I was in Court most of the day, ugh. Ran 6 with 6 X 100m outside tonight!
