No plan for this week. Last week’s LR did something to my right foot (the one that was NOT injured) and I have been hobbling all week since. I will likely need to see a sports med doc this week if it does not get dramatically better soon. I will cross train with weights, swimming, and stationary bike until I can run again.

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."
Thanks, Holly! Sorry to hear about the right foot and the hobbling. Good luck with cross training!

Thanks, Holly! I did a race on Saturday that threw off my whole schedule. I'll need a pass...
