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.
Hi! Super busy in court all day but wanted to say hello and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, HopesMom!
Bugsy is back at the vet since he vomited our bed at 3am, lovely. He vomited twice and being so skeletal still, I didn't want to chance it.
Pilates and weights 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.

Hello, Penguins, it's good to "see" you again!! I had a nice time down in NC with my folks for Thanksgiving -- their horrible twin beds that we're forced to sleep on are compensated by the fact that they have a hot tub. So I didn't sleep well, but the hot tub helped work out the kinks. And my sister and her new squeeze had a stomach bug, so they didn't come. I haven't met the squeeze yet, so that was unfortunate. But my sister and I don't get along all that well, so it was probably a good thing for family peace. Then I took yesterday off to be home and stationary for a while (and to catch up on laundry), and had a dentist appointment this morning. Look Ma, no cavities!!
So how is everyone else getting along?
Aww, bless Bugsy's heart (and his tummy!) Do you have a diagnosis?
Sigh, pancreatitis. They want to keep him overnight to make him feel better (at least one night, sigh). It makes sense since it can cause vomiting and lethargy, which he has had since last night. Proteins are high which could be related to the stomatitis (inflammation) or cancer. Since he has had that stomatitis for months, I think it's related to that. Poor boy needs a break.
D - sorry Bugsy is sick again/still.
HM - sounds like you had a good holiday with your folks.
I had a very nice run today - 6 miles with strides in and around the County Park. (It's a small park.)
