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."

Hey Holly and everyone, I'm back (almost). My coach uses a Sunday-Saturday schedule and that has me at 41 for the week.
Felt awesome the day after a disappointing duathlon
