"Some are the strong, silent type. You can't put your finger on exactly what it is they bring to the table until you run without them and then you realize that their steadiness fills a hole that leaks energy in their absence." - Kristin Armstrong

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."

Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!

Okay, didn't I warn everybody in yesterday's post? They're doing it to me again! Get this from Evanflein last night: "Speaking of Boomer meetings, had an excellent time tonight meeting so many... WRFB (who makes excellent beer, btw), PDR, La Tortuga (who also makes excellent dark beer) and her DH, Wi Fi Tim and his wife, Perch (ok, already met him) and his DH, PBJ and Long Suffering... and the PBJ'sters, BTB (who is every bit as kind and generous in person as online), Hally Barb, rtravers (my sister in run-by-effort running), irunmike (who posts on KR), Ilene and Fast Forward (more relay buddies), and Holly and her husband Jim. What a treat." Okay, rant number one: I met the Beers in Washington, D.C. recently, and did they bring me any beer? No. They brought a camera. A CAMERA! So instead of getting any free beer, I have to look at pictures of beer and the Beers. Rant number two: Robin Travers. I LOVE Robin Travers. But do I get to see her, party around with her, drink beer with her? NO! I'll probably have to look at pictures of everybody else having a good time with her, but not me. (And she had on the '08, very sexy official Boston Marathon, royal blue, v-neck tech shirt too. Is she cool or what?) Rant number three: Never met PBJ or the family, Steve Perch, BTB, IrunMike, Ilene, or any of the spouses. And did anybody post that they are all up there saying, "Gee, I wish Spareribs were here."??? NO! I'll probably have to look at pictures and imagine what it would be like to be there. Spareribs
