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 brought up potential thread retirement a few weeks ago, and was told the penguins would continue in perpetuity. So , PAD!
I took yesterday off because I could, and it was lovely. I slept in, had a leisurely breakfast while DH got my oil changed, read quite a bit, sat in the sun, and made a cake from scratch. I wasn't thrilled with the cake, but DH was, so I guess that's all that counts.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, but our solar panels have apparently blown a fuse again. So I put a call in. We'll see if they call back -- they tend to be a bit more responsive to FB messaging.

Lurking is allowed!
Hot sunny day here, so I decided to wait and go out with the Beer Runners when it will at least be somewhat shady. My cough is better, but I'm still feeling some stomach weirdness so I may cut the run short if I'm struggling too much. I'd really rather take a nap.
