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.
Hiya, Penguins!!
I voted this morning, then when I got to work I had to go all postal on the custodial staff. They're not supposed to enter my lab, because anything they use on the floors gets into my instruments and ruins my experiments. Periodically someone "forgets", and I have to pull out my Ph.D. and start fussing. As it happened, I was running experiments last night and the last four runs didn't work, but I can't yet point to the floor cleaning as the problem. We'll see.
Anyway, it's been an interesting morning so far!

Morning! I have Pilates and 8 miles tonight.
HopesMom, grrrr. Hoping you don't have to yell.

I was firm. Turns out they didn't have my lab listed separately on their master list, so despite the two signs on the door, the staff figured they were supposed to buff the floors. I was assured that they would get the list corrected immediately, and it wouldn't happen again.
And now there are THREE signs on the door. Not sure there's much else I can do on my end ...
HM - sorry you have to redo the experiments after they got contaminated.
D - I hope court doesn't interfere with your Pilates class. Good luck with the 8.
We got sleeted upon while walking Ben and radar shoes more snow to the west of us, so I made French Toast for lunch and plan to do a few miles on the TM late this afternoon.
