    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."

            I need a free pass this week. I did an extended taper, hoping to run

            a decent half, but it did not happen. I have not run this

            slow in many years, but everyone's times were slow today, it was hot

            and humid and hilly. 9th out of 411 in my age group.
