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... quarry

Here’s what I have for last week’s tally. I didn't end up running much at all on our weekend away, but did a lot of hiking.

Who	Miles	Commentary
Mike E	49	How was Wisconsin Dells?
Tramps	47.1	Work travel but still got the runs in
IBleedUnionBlue	45	Wow, highest mileage week in two years!
Fortunate One	41.5	3^rd AG in hilly 5k!
Pfriese	Free Pass	1^st AG in HM!
Holly	Free Pass	Vacation, lots of hiking but little running

Here’s my tentative plan for the week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	5.1 miles	Easy pace
Tuesday	4-6 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Wednesday	4-6 miles	7 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-6 miles	8 miles	Easy pace, with striders
Friday	0-3 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Saturday	4-6 miles	8.05 miles	3 miles at tempo or 5K pace (8:26)
Sunday	16-18 miles	15.25 miles	Long run
Total		43.4 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."

I totaled 50.7 miles this week, including what I thought was going to be my last LR before a mid-July marathon. But my running buddy, who is just getting his legs back after Comrades, mentioned that he might go long next weekend. I already feel a little peer pressure to go along.

Thanks, Holly.
