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."
I need a pass this week.
Be safe. Be kind.

You deserve a pass this week. I can't wait to see how you do at Boston!
Thanks Holly!

Taper well - you've put in the work for a solid race.

I need a pass too. I'm coming up to Boston to see Tramps run!
Actually, I'm still sick. Thought I'd be better by now, but nope, still coughing and have no energy. Oh and I *am* going up to Boston too, but that has nothing to do with anything.
Blah... no running of any value this week, and no Boston road trip either. Planning on a clean slate for next week.
who says life doesn't have a soundtrack?
Go Tramps!
Another tough training week planned, for my upcoming 5k, not the marathon since I'm a 4:45 pacer. Been there, Surf City, got the shirt.
