    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... Here’s what I have for last week’s tally. Let me know 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."

          I'll sort out the details later. Cutback week combined with travel will make this week interesting... I'll put down some "ideal" days, but the conference schedule will determine what I get done.

              Thanks Holly Smile Wow, I haven't been here for quite awhile...amazing what fresh paint and new wall paper does for a place Cool OK, not really sure about this, but I am going to try and run 40 miles this week...but will bail out at anytime if I am not comfortable with the increased mileage. Plan: Mon - 6 miles - Actual - 10 easy miles...great run Tues - 6 miles - Actual - 6 easy miles Weds - 6 miles - Off, due to knee pain doing lunges Angry Thurs - 6 miles - Resting knee Friday - Rest Day - Done...had to anyways Sat - 10 miles -actual 6.3 easy miles Sun - 6 miles - actual 5 easy miles Total - 40 miles - actual 27.3 - need to let my knee heal up before I try this again...but could of easily made it without my accident doing lunges Angry

              Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!

                Thanks Holly - I am hoping for another week about the same - Harder workouts T/W F/SA and Easy on M/ TH/SU other than that - The specific workouts don't matter. M 0/5/6 T 16/5/4 16 had a nice varied speed, incline TM Fartlek (felt sick at night and cut the run a little short) W Sick/Sick/10 - Fever broke @ 3:00pm - I was overheating at a slow pace for the 10 - but I feel much better for it. TH 14/4/5 14 had 4@LAT pace - Cut it short, feeling weak. Walk 2 miles @ incline FR 5/5/0 Now sinus crud - I feel like the dung beetle - Walk 2 SA 7/5 Still feeling punke SU 21 Progressive with last 7 miles @ 6:26 + walk 4 miles I would have to say sick beat me up this week - 112 miles

                Long dead ... But my stench lingers !
