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."
Funny - I thought I had achillies issues before - Now it is swollen really big (Silly 6 hour race) - Still I think I can hit 100 this week. We end the week at Beef-o-Rama in Minocqua WI. One last time up north this year. I am hoping to calm down the achillies this week with 2x a day treatment.
