    Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

        Finally back to running a bit. Not enough to be back in this week, but maybe in a couple I can get back. (I didn't even have a 40 mile month in February or March... /sigh)

            Hang in there Holly.  Running a half in Albuquerque in 5 weeks, and it's a little higher altitude than most runs here, but I plan to do some more runs a few miles up into the Organ Mountains here to get acclimated.  My 30k trail run earlier this month was up there but it was really slow, so I need to practice road running faster there.

                the week started on a low note, that 8 miler

                on treadmill felt unusually hard. so I skipped

                Tuesday. Wed and Thu ran in Central Park

                at sunset, and it was not too bad. On Thu

                I finally (in 21 years) found the bridle path

                and ran a few miles there, also

                "explored" the ramble and the reservoir loop.
