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.
Congrats on your new digs, Jill!!
Chorus was quite fun last night, we've been doing guest workshops for the past three weeks (really they're just nights where we're trying to recruit new women, but it sounds good to call them guest workshops). Anyway, last night we had 8 guests, which is huge for us! So lots of fun was had by all, and hopefully at least some of them will come back again!
So glad it's Friday!!
HopesMom - any plans to run or bike ride this weekend?
Jill - congrats on closing on your new house. You're smart to get the painting done before you move in. It's a lot easier.
Our last hot day for a while (89) so I'm trying to decide whether to do the TM or run after dark or just take a rest day.
Plans to do both, actually! I'm hoping to go for a short ride when I get home from work, as long as I'm not wiped out by the time I get home. Then up early for a run Saturday morning, before it heats up and people start driving around the neighborhood. Woo-hoo!
Evening! I had a long day that included a deposition, lots of driving, but made it home for my 8 TM miles.

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.
