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.
There you go, you heard it here first!! So how will you celebrate National Beer Day? Me, I have a chorus meeting after work, so I doubt I'll get home before 9:00. Oh well ...
Have a lovely day, Penguins to come!!

Guess I'm in the right place (Portland) for Beer Day and we are taking a beer tour this afternoon. 3.0 easy miles around Alberta Park.
I'll celebrate with a martini! LOL.
I have 8 with 3 X 800m tonight.

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.

Barking Mad To Run
Back from Washington State yesterday night and got up this morning to get the cobwebs out of my head by doing 3.2 miles in McAllister Park, a San Antonio park near where I live. After the cool 60-something degree morning runs in WA, welcome back to Texas, with nearly 80 degrees already at 8 a.m. and 89% humidity. I ran/walked on the park's off-road trails, which were nice and shady. Overall, felt pretty good and ran pretty well.
I'm having a beer right now since I have the day off, don't go back to work until Monday.

I thought you might be spoiled running up there! Great pics.
I opted for 5 on the TM with 6x800.
