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 hope all the crap you got for running that race didn't bug you too much. You took it easy and, it's not like it was the day after...you'll be fine...I think. i have a church meeting on my Wednesday, when I'm supposed to be running, so I'll have to switch it up somehow. But, here’s what's for the week…
