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.
I was quite surprised to see how dark it was at 8 pm last night. I know the days have been getting shorter, and the mornings darker, but somehow the nights getting darker earlier snuck up on me. Guess we're on the slow downhill slide to the solstice!!
My walk today will have to be right after lunch, as I'm giving a talk to the incoming grad students. There are four of us speaking, actually, about our facilities and the stockroom procedures. If past years are any indication, I will be the only speaker with a sense of humor.
HM - I hope your talk went well and that you had some fun with it.
Hot and humid here - 92 feels like 100 this afternoon. I'll either do a few on the TM or wait to see if there's a thunderstorm to cool things off later.

Afternoon! Posted here and then did something weird that made the source code come out and I had to start again! Went to Pilates and I have 3-4 miles tonight.
HopesMom, I am sure I am the only one wishing for longer nights. It's just like noon here at 8, sunwise.
Ginny, have fun on the TM.

Well, the talk was kind of a snoozer, as usual. We're giving these kids information that they don't need until next summer, so I have no idea why we don't wait until it's more relevant. But that decision gets made above my pay level. Woo-hoo!!
I ended up going out with the Beer Runners. It was 89 feels like 96 when I left home, but I really wanted to do my run outdoors instead of on the TM. Clouds moved in prior to a thunderstorm, and it was breezy, so it wasn't all that bad. And the beer was good. We ran from the LRS where a Hoka rep allowed us to try the 4 miles with Hoka One Ones. I liked them.
