    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."

      Hi Holly.

       

      Week 15 of Hanson's training for the NYC Marathon. Travel in the latter part of the week. I'll try to stick to schedule as much as possible.

      As I feared, the travel interfered with a few planned runs. But, I did hit 2000 miles for the year so far with Sunday's run. Smile

                I managed to run 50.8 miles this week, after only logging 5 miles last week (which was supposed to be race week). I will re-taper for one week and then run the Mankato Marathon on Oct 21.

                 

                Thanks, Holly!
