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 knew a preacher who used to close his sermons with "And may the bluebird of happiness fly up your nose!" It's not so much fun when it's the Gnat of Annoyance. Besides the bugs on my walk with DH and Dusty this morning, there was a fist-sized froggy and a 4-5 inch long centipede (could've been a millipede, I didn't stop to count the legs per segment). Dusty was also VERY interested in a particular culvert, but either the fox had moved on or hunkered down, so no fox appearance. High adventure, indeed!
We get groundhogs hiding in the culverts sometimes, so Ben will usually investigate, if he can.
Hi! I ran 4 and now boarding for the first leg of the trip! See you!

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.
