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.
Today is World Photo Day, so show me a favorite pic!! I'll start with this cool kitty found outside the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, AZ. This is the observatory where Pluto was discovered.
I don't go outside much, thanks to this neverending heat, so you'll have to see an indoor pic:

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.

Oops, I have Pilates and 6.

I'm celebrating National Soft Ice Cream Day (since I ran 5.0 today).
Docket -- such a cutie!!
Jerryb -- you are a total rebel!!
3 done this morning. I tried compression sleeves on my calves just as an experiment. Worked as predicted calves hurt like hell.
Some of my favorites.
It's a million degrees out and I got home late last night, so my clever plan to get up early and run today only sort of worked. I got up early and ran 1.
Here's a picture of a random cool statue I found on a trailhead that I accidentally found on yesterday's run:
