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. I'm going to give it a shot. Hopefully my legs will feel better in a bit.
MTA: 43.1 this week with a couple of good workouts. Pleased coming off Monkey.
Take care of that knee Ron. You did lots over the past couple weeks.

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff
