Beginners and Beyond

Thursday Penguins, working the numbers! (Read 9 times)


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.

      Working on a thorny work problem.  There is much math, pushing of protons, and staring at the ceiling talking to myself.  Fun times!!

       

      Ginny -- it wasn't too bad, mostly being exhausted made me fall asleep pretty easily.  It's still a little weird, but TOTALLY worth it.

       

      Docket -- food poisoning, ick!!  Feeling better yet?

        Hi!  Slept for 11 hours and felt more human this morning and just couldn't eat much this morning.  Had lunch at least, so it's gotten better.

         

        My parents are good.

         

        HopeMom, I always talk to myself. Perfectly normal.

        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.

          HM - I hope you got your math problem worked out.

           

          D - I'm glad you're feeling better.

           

          We met a friend for lunch in W.Va so I never got a chance to run. Stopped for ice cream on the way home, and I know what happens when I try to run after ice cream. I guess today is an URD.
