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 up. Foot issue has me icing and taking it easy.

Who	Miles	Commentary
Alexander R	71	I run solo most of m LRs
Hermosaboy	60.65	Lots of goal RP - nice
Mike	57.1	Speedy
DennisLey	49.2	Grand Lake HM Pacer!
Subdood	41.5	Taper time
Holly S	30.8	PF issues, so taking it easy

Here is my tentative plan this week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0-3 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	5.4 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	0 miles	0 miles	Seminar out of town
Friday	? miles	0 miles	Seminar out of town
Saturday	4-6 miles	7 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	? miles	11 miles	Not so LR
Total		28.4 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."

Great, thanks for asking! My goal was 3:05, and I finished in 3:04:51. A PR, nice weather, riding a happy buzz right now!

The protest/blockage was averted, so that was also nice.
