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	65	A lot of miles for 9 hours
Mike E	60	Nice week
SubDood	59.5	Outdoor LR!
Hermosaboy	53.08	Fast!
DennisLey	47.4	Slow and easy does it
Holly S	40.1	Just barely
Opie	33.2	Holiday busy-ness
Pfriese	32.8	Sick this week – hope you feel better!

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	10 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	4.7 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-6 miles	7 miles	Easy pace
Friday	4-6 miles	3 miles	Easy pace
Saturday	13-15 miles	13 miles	Long run
Sunday	5-7 miles	7 miles	Recovery pace, plus weights and core
Total		44.7 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."

Walt Disney World Marathon, January 10th. To be run as a relaxing walk/jog.

Back in October, Disney told me that I'd be starting in the last corral (Corral P), since I provided my proof of time 4 days too late.

Yesterday, I found out that I'm in Corral A. But I've been training for a relaxing walk/jog, not a true race effort.
