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."

Looking at my training calendar, looks like I get to join in again this week! edited to say training has to be flexible paying attention to the body
Monday-planned after work 7 mi track workout-200's with WU & CD-done (crushed it!)
Tuesday-planned 6 mile recovery-done
Wednesday-unknown health issue, possibly autoimmune and foot warning sign so test run of only 0.43 mi.
Thursday-rest & still waiting for ANA test results to find out if I have lupus
Friday-test run that went well & I'm so grateful! 4.58 miles
Saturday-(originally) planned 12 mile LR-done 11.93 mi
Sunday-(originally) planned 4 mile recovery-done
Total 33.9
