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.
It's National One Hit Wonder Day! I'm not sure if this was actually a one-hit wonder, but I give you Mac Arthur Park, by Donna Summer. Because there cannot be a weirder song than an entire song about leaving a cake out in the rain.

Did my run/walk with DH and Dusty this morning. Between the tremendous humidity and the allergens, it was hard to breathe. But hey, who needs air? We got it done anyway!

Afternoon! I have 4 miles tonight.
HopesMom, I think Donna Summer was more than a one hit wonder, but alas, either way, I love her.

HM - Nice that you got your walk this morning. Are you going to be affected by Maria?
D - enjoy your short recovery run.
AFM: rest day. I'll do a little on the stationary bike before dinner, but that's it. I needed to spend some time on housework and wore myself out.
Doesn't look like it. We're fairly far inland. Of course DH and I have a vacation planned at the Outer Banks in a few weeks, hopefully all the hurricanes will stay far far away!!
