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.
Sometimes you need a stupid long title, right? It's National Johnny Appleseed Day, and since my family was three generations of apple growers (sold the orchard my sophomore year of college, so definitely not four generations!), I figured it was appropriate.
How's things, Penguins? Glad your DH fixed the TM, Docket!!
Another hot day here. I'll probably go out with the Beer Runners this evening. It will still be hot, but the run will be short and shady for part of the run at least. Second anniversary for the group, so I feel like I ought to show up to join the celebration. OTOH, if it gets cloudy this afternoon, I may run then so I can get a few more miles.
Morning! I have 8 with 3 X 1 mile @ 5K pace tonight after Pilates, sheesh.
The RWOL forums are closing, so maybe we will have some new visitors checking us out, who knows!
HopesMom, hmmm, apples.
Ginny, enjoy the beer runners.

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.

They're closing the forums????
RW is moving some to Facebook. A lot of people won't follow.
Meaning RW created public groups in FB but I am sure they could care less if they follow.
Guess that's one way to deal with the spam ...
