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.
Morning, Penguins!! Well, I was out yesterday for my appointment to learn the results of my sleep test, and it turns out I do have moderate sleep apnea. I'm quite excited about this, because it means that I have a good shot at being able to fix it. Now I'm waiting for insurance to clear my CPAP machine, then I can go pick it up and hopefully start sleeping better.
Tonight I'm helping give PVIs to leads in my chorus, which was all kinds of nifty last time I did it.
I also made some peach freezer jam over the weekend, which is still fairly runny, but I think that's normal for freezer jam. It tastes good, and a little mess is not too hard to put up with.
Need to go read yesterday's post to see how Scotty is getting along.
Morning! I have Pilates and 5 miles tonight.
HopesMom, good luck with the machine and the chorus thing!

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.

H - What's a PVI? Personal Voice ? Have fun. Good luck with the C-Pap. I am a restless sleeper (actually more pre-sleep) so I don't think I could wear a mask to bed.
D - Have fun with your short run tonight.
It's a cool gray and rainy day here. I haven't run yet but will get some miles somehow later.
