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."

Sun 26.2 mi (3:11) NYC marathon
Total: 44 miles ( 5hr 45min)
15th New York, 40th total marathon.
worst marathon since around 2007,
split 1:28/1:43. the problem was not
the 1:28 half, but the 20:08 first 5k. or,
even more precisely, what killed me
was mile 2, which was done in 5:40.
mile 26 was 6:49, so I sort of recovered
in the end, but it was too little too late
