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."

Will need a free pass again this week. Mileage down a little because of my duathlon Sunday. Weather should be a little cooler and less humid than last year because it's 5 weeks earlier!

At this rate of improvement, Mike will run the world's first sub 2 hour marathon in about another 80 days of consecutive marathons.
Hmmm, maybe my times would improve if I started running these things back-to-back!
