Monday Penguins run like a boss!! (Read 7 times)

    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.

      It's National Boss Day, which I'm sure my tech does not realize.  I have received no flowers, special coffee, or gifts/bribes of any kind.  Of course, I haven't sent any of those things to my department chair either, so I guess it's just karma.

      Had a very lazy weekend playing video games with DH.  Then this morning's run came far too early, but hey, it got done, which is still a nice thing to be able to say.

        Morning, spin and weights done. Now yard work, time to clean the garden for winter.

          Rest day here.  Like PAD, I should be working on the yard, but it's warm and humid and I really don't care that much today. I can't believe we'll be  back in the 80's this week.

            Afternoon!  I ran 7 outside last night and I was out of breath at the end.  Literally.  It was a close call.  Tonight's 7 I hope go better.

             

            My boss has been on vacation for a week with another week looming.  Can't think of anything better to do on National Boss Day than to have your boss on vacation, ha.

             

            HopesMom, sounds like a perfect weekend.

             

            PAD, nice job on the workouts.

             

            Ginny, hoping your rest day goes well.

            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.

              Rest day #1. I almost called out of work so I could relax at home, but I knew I'd just end up wallowing in misery so I came here to take my mind off it.
