Mariposai - a well-deserved rest is due for you after that monster course. Yesterday's race started about 15 minutes late, but I didn’t think much about it. Today I read this: Due to a multiple-alarm fire on Mile 22 of the Marathon course, the start of the race was delayed by about 15 minutes. The course was re-directed around the emergency, adding an estimated fourth of a mile to the route. The route still will be certified as an official course. My Garmin did read the course as long, but I just attributed that to the normal discrepancies with Garmins. I’ll have to e-mail my friend to tell him that he did even better than he thought.

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."
