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!!!

Thank you Holly for keeping us committed in 2016
Happy last week of December !
This week - 60.1 miles.
200.1 miles in Dec, and 2531 miles in 2016.
10 Marathons, 20 Half Marathons, Added 6 new states (FL, IA, MN, AL, MD, IL).
But to be honest, I focused too much on quantity (miles & states) and my 26.2 times suffered.
Philippians 4:13.
Thank you, Holly! Happy New Year, everyone!
