Beginners and Beyond

Tired Thursday Penguins (Read 10 times)


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 could've used another hour or two of sleep, but the day called!!  Rehearsal last night was good, even if I stood a bit apart from the rest of the quartet and sanitized the doorknobs before they got there.  It's all good.  Still coughing and sniffly, but we don't have a gig until Sunday (actually, two gigs on Sunday) so apart from chorus rehearsal tonight, I'll get a bit of a rest.

       

      So I think I'm going to have to trash three days' worth of data and redo the samples.  They clogged my columns, so I had to replace the columns, and the new retention times are just too far away from the old retention times to be comparable.  It's annoying, but it's good that I finally made the decision.  Now I can move on to actually getting the data.

       

      tl:dr  I figured out how to fix a work problem.  It's annoying, but ok.

        Hope the cough goes away before Sunday, HsM.

         

        4.1 this morning and only 77 for November.    Now 4 miles behind the bunny.  Better lower my goal for 2017, if the rules allow that.

          HopesMom - I'm glad you figured out your work issue. Too bad you had to toss the earlier results though.

           

          Jerry - have you or your wife been dealing with injury, or are you running less because of all the races?

           

          I really wasn't in the mood to go outside today, as it was cold, gray and really windy, but I didn't want to do the TM either so I forced myself out. I ended up with 6.6.

            DW is healthy Ginny.  Her PT ordered RD's which has reduced our mileage.  Probably a good idea as we aren't getting any younger.
