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.

Who	Miles	Commentary
Alexander R	71	Every day running
SubDood	66.3	Lots of miles and speed too
Hermosaboy	62.55	Speedy 8K race, with a MikeE sighting
DennisLey	51.3	Nice week. I will be at Xenia for the marathon, maybe I will see you there
Holly S	46.8	Spring is arriving!
Mike E	44.6	Speedy 8K race, with a Hermosaboy sighting
Runnerclay	41.4	Welcome back!
Pfriese	40.3	1^st AG in 15K race – nice!

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	4.3 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	0-3 miles	5.6 miles	Easy pace
Friday	5-6 miles	3.5 miles	Easy pace, plus weights and core
Saturday	18-20 miles	20 miles	Long run
Sunday	4-6 miles	4.1 miles	Recovery pace
Total		41.5 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."

Wed 7 mi (0:58) treadmill

Sun 12.3 mi (1:35)

Total: 66 miles ( 10 hrs )

I was in Anaheim, CA all week, except today.

Running on concrete at 6am in the morning sucks.

I could not find any trails or parks nearby.

Hotel treadmill was worse, as it did something to my

lower back.
