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
Hermosaboy	80	Gotta love those 10am/10pm days
Tramps	65.8	Loving the cooling temps
Opie	56	Starting with the Yasso’s
Holly	51	Still feeling sluggish
Runnerclay	50.3	Recovery complete. What’s next?
Perch	45	Recovery week
Jdmom3	44	Welcome back!
C-R	44	Welcome back!
MrPHinNJ	42.6	Allergies – yuck. Hopefully the season is almost over
Pfriese	40.4	Looking good!
Mariposai	36	Close enough
Milk Truck	??	Where’s Milktruck?

Here’s my tentative plan for the week

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0-3 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	5-7 miles	8.3 miles	Easy pace 4.3am, 4pm
Wednesday	5-7 miles	6 miles	6 x 800 fartlek
Thursday	5-7 miles	9 miles	Easy pace
Friday	0 miles	10 miles	Easy pace
Saturday	5-7 miles	4 miles	Recovery pace, plus 45 minutes upper/core weights
Sunday	12-14 miles	15.5 miles	Long run, plus lower body workout
Total		53.8 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."

Holly, is this supposed to be for the week ending October 30th? Thanks for you work on this thread!

LOL! Okay, taking Tramps' lead I will assume it's for this week.

Monday - 6 easy (done)

Tuesday - 7 with 2 miles at 5K pace (done - two miles at 6:30; 6:45 with 2 min. rest)

Wednesday - 3 easy miles, weights (done0

Thursday - 9 med long (done)

Friday - 5 easy (done)

Saturday - 13 long (a struggle, but done)

Sunday - 3 recovery (lucky to get this in)

Total: 46 (yes!)

Once a runner . . .

Last call for a tuneup race! I've only run a 15k race once before, in '08, this race coming up Saturday. At one point, I ran a different one in Wichita Falls, TX, where I saw a dead body and missed the turn, so I ran 10 miles and still got an AG award. Anyway, like I was saying, because I'm racing I will reduce my mileage this week and it's time for that. I will be tinkering with shoes, racing again in the Green Silence, and trying to find the right shoe for the marathon ASAP.

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

Monday...Easy 1.5 mi. + 8 x Yasso 800's + Easy 1 mi................mostly done but got to run with DD at the track-7 mi.

Tues........Easy 3 mi. at lunch + Yoga 1 hr. after work...............................................................both done-4.5 mi.

Wed.........Yoga 50 min. at lunch + Easy 12 mi. after work.......................................................both done-12 mi.

Thurs.......Easy 5 mi..................................................................................................................................done-5 mi.

Friday.......Rest...........................................................................................................................................done

Sat............Easy 1.5 mi. + Race 15k + 1 mi. Easy.......................................................................done-PR! 12 mi.

Sun..........Easy 8 mi...............................................................................................................................done-7.27 mi.

Total............................................................................................................................................................47.7 mi.
