For those of you who are new, this is the 40/40 thread, for people who are over 40 years old who run 40 miles/week or more. We give Free Passes to those who come really close or try really hard...

Here’s what I have for last week’s tally. Sorry so late (again).

Who	Miles	Commentary
Rasmussenmp	62.97	Seattle R&R!
CNYrunner	56.8	Tempo torture – here she comes!
MrPHinNJ	56.3	PR for weekly mileage – nice job!
TomD	52.5	Hope the knee is feeling better
Perchcreek	52	Shirtless summer run in the hilly woods – very kewl
Mainerunnah	47.26	Lotta rain for you this week, but at least it’s warm rain
Slo_Hand	46.2	5K race – I missed it, how’d you do?
Holly	44.5	Seattle R&R!
Slimbo	38.7	8K race – PR and 3^rd Masters – great job!
Pfriese	38.4	Close enough
GKA	28	Keys of Time series - that's what I was watching as a teenager. I've got the earlier one on reserve at the library - can't wait to get it in!

Here’s my tentative plan for the week.

<b>Day</b>	<b>Plan</b>	<b>Actual</b>	<b>Commentary</b>
Monday	0	0 miles	Rest day
Tuesday	5-6	7 miles	Recovery pace
Wednesday	5-6	5 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	5-6	9.05 miles	Easy pace
Friday	1-3	0 miles	Plus core and 30-minute bike ride
Saturday	12+	14.2 miles	Slow and easy
Sunday	5-8	0 miles	70 minute bike ride with DD
Total	?	35.25 miles

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."

Hey Holly---energizer bunny! a trail ultra, a marathon shortly thereafter, a cross country trip and everything else. You so rock! Congrats on the great running.

Here's the plan:

6/29---5-6 easy-----5.5 miles @8:54 pace

6/30---9 miles including the weekly 5k race @7:30 pace----9.2 miles w/5k @24:23 (mile 3 disaster)

7/1----10-12 steady state run @8:15 pace-----10.6 in 1:28---8:20 pace---slower than target, but rock steady

7/2----4-5 easy-----4 @ 8:00---tad fast to get out of rain

7/3----4-5 w/strides----6.6 with strides @8:30 pace

7/4----6 including 4 on the 4th N'tom race @7:10 pace-----6 with 4@7:09 (28:33)

7/5----18-20 @ 8:30 pace----20.5 @ 8:42 overall (first part in 9:00s and second part at 8:00s in some places)

62.4 ---strong week and feeling good---getting into the jaws of marathon training now

weights and core work x 3

Hi Holly, great pics on the Seattle RnR thread. You continue to inspire me with your energy and tenacity.

I've been a Dr Who fan since I was 7 years old (I grew up in England). Have you seen the Keys of Time series? Whenever I hear the title music I have flashbacks of the damp cold, the warm tea, and jockying for space on the sofa with my 5 siblings all of whom were exhausted after standing for 3 hours at the Man U football game. Anyway I digress here's my plan for this week.

6/29---8 easy. Done

6/30---14 long. Done

7/1----0

7/2----8 Done

7/3----8 easy Done

7/4----8 easy 0

7/5----0

Total 46 / 38

GKA---Watching Dr. Who right now. I watched it when I was a kid as well (via PBS). We just got back into it as a family this year and catching up through NetFlix. Love that it's been around for almost 46 years! My almost 13 yr. old is mad for it and there are days when I could certainly use a Tardis!

Hey CNY, I am quite partial to the doctor's sonic screwdriver; that could come in very handy. My 12yo and her friends also love the series. I heard them discuss how each alien has a different word for destroy..."exterminate" (daleks) and "delete" (cyber men). I was seven whenI learnt the word metamorphosis having seen the first doctor become the second.
