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 got just over 40 miles this week due to the 14 today, but I generally won't get 40. I decided a couple of years ago that it was too much for me at this age and with a demanding job. I shoot for 34-37. Kudos to those of you who hit the 40!!!
