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. A few folks didn't check in, but it is that busy time of year. Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather!

Who	Miles	Commentary
Hermosaboy	70.8	Great weekend in Boston, even without a marathon…
Rasmussenmp	60	Give Nancy and Erika a hug for me!
Perch	52.4	When do you move?
Milk Truck	50.5	Didn’t get to run 50k, but kudos to you for putting family first.
Tramps	50.4	Pfitz and H&H – ouch!
MrPHinNJ	45.4	Hey, my taters are too tall to mound up dirt. Next year I’ll plant them in a trench…
DfromBG	43	15,000+ miles – nice!
R2farm	40.13	First 40-mile week ever!
Runnerclay	40.1	First 200-mile month!
Holly	37.6	Tapering, sort of
Mainerunnah	36.6	You need to find a better hiding place next time. A shame people have to be such jerks.
Jpdeaux	???	How’d your week go?
Happyfeet	Free Pass	Moved LR to the next week
MikeE	Free Pass	Tapering

Here’s my tentative plan for the week. Another big weekend planned if my creaky knee holds out. We’ll see how that works out.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6	7 miles	Easy pace
Tuesday	0 miles	0 miles	P90X Yoga, core work rest day
Wednesday	5-7	6.35	3 @ tempo
Thursday	4-5	0 miles	30 min. upper and core
Friday	0-3	2.15 miles	w/striders
Saturday	50K	50K	Another Dam 50K
Sunday	12-18	11 miles	Easy pace
Total	?	57.9 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."

Might need a pass for this week. And maybe next week too.

For good reasons though.

Thanks.

Not at it at all.
