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.
Because apparently Spring is actually going to happen now. DH pulled his blueberry bushes out of the garage, only to discover that they're in full bloom. Many of the plants like cherry trees and japonica that got completely frost-bitten are attempting to bloom again. And we have a high of 68 today. Cue the allergies!!
Morning! PT this morning and ran a mile there, among other torture. Pilates and 6 tonight.
Hope'sMom, enjoy your Spring!

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.

We had a lot of things blooming before the snow (iris, crocus, daffodils, forsythia) which froze and probably won't bloom again. Some of the bulbs have leaves, but no blooms yet, so they may appear over the next week or two. We are warm today, but below freezing again tomorrow, then we warm up for a bit. It looks like my race on Sunday will be warm (50s) but rainy.
HM - I'm surprised the blueberries bloomed without sunlight.
D - enjoy your P + 6 tonight.
I have 3-4 this afternoon. I have 3, 4 and 2 this week. It seems so weird to be running so few miles. What do I do with all that energy/time?
3 this morning.
