Marathon Maniac #957

    For those of you who are new, this is the 40/40 thread, for people who are over 40 years old who run 40 miles/week or more. We give Free Passes to those who come really close or try really hard...

     

    Here’s a placeholder until I get last week’s tally up.

    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."

                How did the 1-mile race go?

                     

                 

                Not so hot. Good first quarter, but when I saw how slow the second quarter was -- I lost focus and ended up getting beaten by a lot of people that shouldn't beat me...
