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 not going to get anywhere close to 40 miles this week. Need to get this hammy right.

MTA - Ended up with 11.8 miles + some elliptical and pool running. I think I am finally getting back together. Here's hoping next week is back to 40.

Heal up Kelley.
