I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.

.....and drop me off when we're 10 miles out. That way, there would be no other way to get home other than to run. .....
Here is an observation I have. Ever notice that when people get hurt they drop off the board?
Forgot to mention on my run yesterday, I came upon a toddler that was running about my pace, so I chased him and held out my arms like I was going to catch him. He turned around suddenly, snarled at me and threw a pine cone at my legs. I wasn't expecting that. Enjoy the weekend everyone!

If I had known a keg was going to Boston, I'd have run a lot faster last year. Good grief.
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."
