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. Hope I didn't miss anyone...

Who	Miles	Commentary
Hermosaboy	80	A lot of miles in the heat
MikeE	56.6	Rockin’ Double Marathon Weekend!
Tramps	52.6	I don’t think I made it to Frenchman Street, but the Ghost Tour wandered us around, so maybe I did after all..
Runnerclay	52.2	Showing that 30-something how it’s done…(:
Mainerunnah	44	I continue to think you must have some really speedy runners in your AG where you live…
Slo_Hand	42.5	Busy summer but still running
Breger	40.3	Pop in any time!
MrPHinNJ	40.2	Over the Golden Gate Bridge – cool!
Opie	40	Sharpening for relay
Rasmussenmp	35	Recovery week
Milk Truck	Free Pass	Thanks for helping out! But how was your running week?
DfromBG	Free Pass	On vacation – hope it was fun!
Holly	Free Pass	Travel/Recovery week

No real plan plan for this week. Work and family travel kept last week’s mileage down, but it was a recovery week anyway. Now it’s time to burn off some of those extra traveling calories…..

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	?	6 miles	Easy pace
Tuesday	?	2 miles	Plus 30 minutes weights and core
Wednesday	?	9 miles	Easy-brisk
Thursday	?	0 miles	P90X Shoulders and Arms
Friday	?	6.6 miles	Easy pace
Saturday	?	9.05 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	?	17 miles	Long run
Total	?	49.65 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."

Thanks Holly. I tried hard to make 40 last week but didn't quite get there. This week I'll post my plan and update until Thursday when I go offline for Ragnar. [soapbox mode] I know most of my teammates have iPhones, etc. and are online everywhere all the time, but I enjoy getting away from the web when I travel. Face time, not Facebook as I often say. [stepping off soapbox] Yes, it's true I'm getting a little grumpy as I approach the half century mark.

Day............Plan.......................................................................................................................................................................Actual

Monday.......yoga + 6 mi. easy evening run.....................................................................................both done-6 mi. treadmill

Tuesday.....7 mi. easy.........................................................................................................................................done-7.66 mi.

Thanks Holly,

Really no running plan for this week. Fly across country to Springfield, Mass Thursday night to attend my 35th High School Reunion. (should be fun). Start my 12 week running schedule next Monday. Head back home on Tuesday. Head to San Diego for 8 days on Wednesday. Do frequent flyer miles count??

I do hope to get around 50 miles this week but, no structure to it.

Just popping in to say hi to Holly and everyone else... reached 29 miles this week rather effortlessly, so I figure I'll be back in this thread in no time. Smile

Also, happy Father's Day to all the dads!

Checking in for last week...ending on Father's day.

Monday	7.2	Something is really going wrong with my right heel, it hurts. This can't be good.
Tuesday	6.9
Wednesday	6.5	Tough after 500+ miles of driving during the day....slog, slog, slog.
Thursday	9.8	Mid-week longish.
Friday	4.1
Saturday	8.3	Last minute decision to run local 10K race (hilly, part dirt road, part trails, lots of bugs).
Sunday	11.5	Ran with my nephew, he's a young stud, hard to slow him down. What happened to slow and easy?

Total for the week comes in at 54.4, just about right on target for an early summer week with focus on 1/2 marathon workouts.
