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, I'm so late. I finally pulled the trigger and signed up for the Mississippi Blues Marathon...with only one week to go...
8.0
Was hoping to make it but didn't post with the holidays winding down. Got 37.4 with a good long run of 15 yesterday so I'll take it! Should make 40 next time. Good job on running longer than you planned, Holly!

I felt tired for most of the week, not sure why.
Maybe it's because of the stair stepper
