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.
So it seems that Ginny, Docket, and I are the only ones posting in the Penguins thread. When I'm off the computer, nobody starts a penguin thread. Seems like it's time for us to shut the doors. Which is annoying to me, because as a non-runner, that leaves me pretty much nowhere to post and chat with people. Thoughts?
No! Don't close it! Even if it's us three.
Sorry I didn't start it. I was super busy yesterday and thought you ladies were offline due to the storm. Glad you survived!
I have an RD today.

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.

Ok, we can have a threesome!! You certainly don't have to apologize for not starting the thread, it's not a big thing. I was offline due to the storm -- we didn't get much snow, but there was ice, so I worked from home. Finally got everything together for my annual report, and now I'm working on grant proposals. Fun times!!
Enjoy your RD!!
Ok, we can have a threesome!!
I can help with that.
Should've known you'd pop in on that one!
HM - I'm glad you survived the blizzard. Did you actually get much snow there? We got less than predicted, as usual, only about 8 inches. It's cold today though. When I walked Ben, the feels like temp. at 11:00 was 3 degrees. I'm giving my lungs a break and skipping today's run. My cold just keeps getting worse instead of better. I tried to nap, but the coughing kept me awake, as it has the past two nights. Even Nyquil only works for a couple of hours.
