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."
I'm in.
Been a little hectic with family issues but this week should be "normal".

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

This was max week (Actually max = 160) - Foot is unhappy from 4:45 straight of hill pounding.
Not sustainable training for a 43 year old - Next week will be a 80-85% week and then a big cutback to 60-65% to reset.
Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
