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	70	Running in 96 degrees – ouch!
Holly	52	Took advantage of holiday weekend
C-R	50.3	In answer to your question, I have no idea how people fit in high mileage with family and work
IBleedUnionBlue	41	Keeping it up
Tramps	38.5	Close enough
Mike E	33	Tapering
Fortunate One	Free Pass	Tapering

Here’s my tentative plan for the week, for now.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	6.2 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	4 miles	Tempo or intervals too hot for tempo
Thursday	4-6 miles	6.5 miles	Easy pace fartlek
Friday	0-3 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Saturday	3-4 miles	3.1 miles	5k run, 11 mile bike, 2.6 mile canoe – Miamisburg Triathlon
Sunday	12-14 miles	8 miles	Long run
Total		27.8

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."
