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."
Thanks Holly!!!

The next couple weeks will be very light for me, doing a hard taper for the trail marathon on 9/19. So I'll rejoin you after that.
Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done.
Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.

Mike, I am so glad I got to see you at the half today! Great catching up, and very nice racing, too!
Thanks for running a cooldown with me!
