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	69.6	Nice San Fran break in the cold
SubDood	65.3	What is a loppet?
Hermosaboy	57.91	Intervals, core, stretching, nice!
DennisLey	56.8	Run + SB – nice multitasking
Mike E	42	Speedy TM run!
Holly S	33.3	Tweaked my back

Here is my tentative plan, which may fluctuate, depending on the weather and my back pain

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	2 miles	Plus light weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	0 miles	25 min bike trainer
Wednesday	4-6 miles	4 miles	Slow and easy
Thursday	4-6 miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Friday	15-17 miles	4 miles	Slow and easy
Saturday	5-7 miles	6 miles	Slow and easy
Sunday	5-7 miles	9 miles	Long run
Total		29 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."

SubDood:

What is a loppet?

A "loppet" is an endurance cross-country ski event in which under-trained participants get soundly beaten by 67-year-old men and 14-year-old girls.

Hypothetically.
