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! Sorry, I'm so late. I won't make 40, this week, but I still like hanging out with you guys. I even have a plan! Here's this week's...

Hey Sub--I just noticed you did the half, today. Was it slick as grease, out there? Nice time.
It wasn't too bad. I was concerned going down the really steep hill at the start, but it was fine. I jogged for over a mile, then settled in close to goal MP, and it felt comfortably hard. I caught up to a Northstar runner around mile 7 or 8, and we ran and chatted the rest of the way. Saw a bunch of people I know, including my brother and a few former work colleagues. Great day to run outside ... in shorts!
