    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."

          Thank you Holly.

           

          I did build back to 30 miles this week, up from 20 last week. Still have some intermittent discomfort and tightness. But I am taking it slow and easy, walking or stopping as necessary. Maybe next week Smile

              How did the moustache growing go, Sub?

                How did the moustache growing go, Sub?

                Ha! About as well as the Moustache Run. I fizzled in the second half and slowed quite a bit. My time was decent (1:27:20-ish), but GPS only showed 12.8 miles. Good fun, though.

                  Even splitting the Philadelphia marathon

                  last Sunday turned out to be magic.

                  By Wednesday I was itching to go and

                  on Thursday I ran a 2 x Turkey Trot.

                  Normally I cannot even walk without
