    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 what I have for last week’s tally.

    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."

        Thank you, Holly.

         

        Pretty much a repeat of last week.  TriBee's got races this weekend, though, so that may change my plans.

        I'll need a pass this week.  I ended up with sherpa duty at TriBee's weekend races and the runs just didn't happen.

        Be safe. Be kind.
