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."

One thing I learned from this race is that I have the stamina now to run fast (at the end of the race I still felt very strong) but I need to do more speed work and hills to strengthen my legs. Over the last mile I knew I could go faster but the fast twitch muscles just were not there. So for the next race I will cut back a little on the stamina phase (tempo runs) and add more weeks of speed (400m, 800m and 1000m runs). Bruce
