    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 need to get back at it. No plan yet, but 40 miles would be nice this week. Thanks, Holly!

         

        MTA:  33.7 miles. Short, unless you count miles traveled while shoveling snow. Then it's pretty close.

            I was hoping for at least 55-60 miles this week,  but, well, the snow/rain mix on Saturday sort of changed that. I could go to the gym and do another treadmill session, but decided to take a day off instead.
