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.
Today's my last day of work before my two-week vacation, so I'm twirling plates like crazy. My nitrogen dewars are being switched out, I've got billing to complete, I have a haircut at 1:00, then all the stuff to make sure the lab runs while I'm gone. Woo-hoo!!
So I'll be out of touch for two weeks. Don't let the Penguin thread disappear while I'm away!!
Morning! I have Pilates and 7 miles 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.

Morning 3 this morning and group tonight. Hot & Humid!
Ok, most of my crazy day is done, excepting eating an early dinner and getting all dolled up for the gig. My folks are flying out today for the trip, and they're delayed due to weather in Atlanta. So I'm also fielding text messages from my infrequent-flying parents. It's all good, though.

Have a nice vacation, HsM
