40/40 Thread for Week Ending 7/13/08 (Read 762 times)


Marathon Maniac #957

    For those of you who are new, this is the 40/40 thread, for people who are over 40 years old who run or aspire to run 40 miles/week. We give Free Passes to those who come really close or try really hard... I hope you guys don’t mind if I hang around while my butt-thigh injury heals, since I’m probably still not able to get 40 miles in.... Here’s the tally from last week. Let me know if you see an error or if I missed you.

    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."

      Perch's Profile "I don't know if running adds years to your life, but it definitely adds life to your years." - Jim Fixx "The secret is to make in your mind possible what was not possible before. The secret is to make easy what was difficult, instead to make difficult what really is easy." - Coach Renato Canova

        Holly, seeing as how the official rules allow for free passes due to injury I figure the thread keeper-upper is surely entitled to one or more of them! I hope you heal up fast and thank you for continuing to run this despite your reduced miles.

            I sure hope I don't need a free pass this week... Holly just be sure you take it easy and let that leg recover. I think you've got some ambitious mileage on your plan for what you're dealing with...

                              also on Twitter
                                It looks like I might make 40 miles this week, so I'll post my miles again. I've been absent from the 40/40 thread the past few weeks. That doesn't mean I haven't been close to the 40 mile barrier though - 38.7 miles the week before last and 35.6 last week.
