Marathon Maniac #957
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."

Dark Horse – I often listen to audio books during my LRs, and my current selection is a Lee Child novel, Bad Luck and Trouble. I don’t know if you are familiar with Child (you are probably WAY too literate for this stuff), but somehow I quite picture you as his protagonist, Jack Reacher, even though I know you are probably actually nothing like him (prolly just because he's a really tall, ex-military guy).
Sputter, Sputter, Fume, Grrr…….I can keep up with HIM???? Okay, so he can run an 18:00 5k when he is in peak shape, but his best solo marathon is a 3:57 without the rest of the Ironman legs, so THERE…..” Poor guy, I felt great after 13 sproinky miles in 1:47/8:15 pace and he was hurting and didn’t want to tell me. Keep up with me my a$$! (insert a Beavis and Butthead laugh track here). The rest day yesterday was just what I needed and the rubber band description is so apt. Quality and not quantity now will make a difference.

Courage ! Do one brave thing today...then run like hell.
One day at a time
I tentatively began slow jogging in one-tenth of a mile segments, followed by a nice walk break. I did 5 of these for a half mile...
I attended the Galloway clinic at our local running store last night. What a gentleman he is!
