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, hoping you continue to feel better.
I have a 4-mile race this Sunday, so my schedule had to be tweaked a bit to make everything fit. And continuing with the conservative but steady mileage build and pace increases...
who says life doesn't have a soundtrack?
Thanks! XC means I either ran on the cross-country course in Norman or on the grass next to the paved trail at a local park.

Thanks Holly! Well, the schedule I put together doesn't get me to 40 this week, but I've had so many unscheduled "rest" weeks that I might add a few miles...I'll see how the week goes.
