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 just when I was thinking I was doing pretty well at this barbershop singing thing, I go off to a weekend with top-notch faculty and discover just how much I don't know. It was an awesome weekend, the faculty were personable and inspiring, I have a LOOOOOONG list of stuff I want to try with my quartet (and suspect my director's list for my chorus is equally long), and it was just wonderful all the way around. Of course, now I have to actually settle back into work and get some stuff done ... oh well. Normal isn't such a bad thing either!
Morning, spin & Weights at the gym done. I need to mow one last time but it's too wet, awww.
One day to election day and then it's over finally!

SRD. Getting an estimate for new garage door today. Never had an opener before, anything I should look for?
Jerry - you've had to manually lift your garage door all this time? Anything will be better than that. One thing I like about ours is that if anything is in the way, it won't close, so no fear of something getting damaged or the dog getting hurt if he runs out while we're closing up.
PAD - the grass will still be there tomorrow. I hope tomorrow really is the end of the election. If it's disputed, who knows what will happen. At least we'll be able to watch TV without hearing non-stop attack ads.
HopesMom - sounds like an exciting weekend. Have fun sharing what you learned.
AFM: I'm stiff and a bit sore today, but no major pain so I may try a short run later.
Afternoon! I have nothing to do today after work, yay!

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.

Yes Ginny, 32 years in the house, so it is about time. It will also look much better than the plain old Sears door. Anniversary present to us.
Hope your soreness is better and you got a run in.
