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!)
I seem to be coming down with Jim's cold. Grr. I can rest today, but I have 30 miles to run this weekend and it's supposed to be freezing. Aargh!
Singer who runs a smidge
Wow, a cold and 30 miles and freezing weather do NOT go well together!! I went outside earlier to receive a delivery and it was snowing. SNOWING, I TELL YOU!! Well, flurrying, anyway.
I am the proud recipient of a new laptop, and now it looks all weird. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually. Basically the impetus was a particular program I use that really wants more memory. I had 4 GB RAM, now I have 8. Woo-hoo!!
Still have instrument pressure woes. I didn't leave yesterday until around 7 pm, and missed chorus rehearsal altogether.
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.
Afternoon! I have 6 miles tonight.
Managed to trip on the sidewalk this morning. FFS.
Ginny, you CAN'T BE SICK.
Hope, sorry about the instrument woes.

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.

Docket, isn't that how all this got started??
