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.
I'm looking at a busy busy weekend. A former member of our chorus passed away a couple of months ago, and we are singing for her memorial service tomorrow morning. Then tomorrow afternoon my new quartet gets its first coaching session!! No, we don't have a name yet. We actually have a list of about 110 potential names, although a lot of them are completely tongue in cheek. For now, we call ourselves the Wonderless Tarts. But that will not be permanent. Anyway, Sunday is church in the morning and then a chorus management team meeting in the afternoon. I'll be curious to see when I do laundry this weekend ...

Morning! It's my RD, FFS, yay.
HopesMom, I hope the memorial is nice.

HM - enjoy your busy weekend. Can DH do laundry?
D - enjoy your rest day.
I have a rather busy weekend too. A friend from California is meeting us for lunch, then tomorrow Jim's son is visiting with all his family. They'll spend the night so the house will be full. Jim is blowing up air mattresses in the basement. Not much atmosphere down there with all the exercise equipment, but at least it's cool. I don't know if I'll get any runs in. As humid as it is, after 3 inches of rain yesterday, I'm glad I'm not running this morning. It was hard enough walking Ben.
Dear God, I hate people.
Hugs, HopesMom!
Ginny, enjoy the weekend!
HM - what happened?
I had a really enjoyable evening run - sunset on one side and moon rise on the other. It was cool (78) with a light breeze to lighten the humidity. I ran almost 7, then met Jim who had come out with Ben to see what was taking me so long. (I ran into a loose pit bull and wasn't going to continue until the owners had him under control. That took a while. He was friendly, but I wasn't going to risk him chasing me.)
