    For those of you who are new, this is the 40/40 thread, for people who are over 40 years old who run or aspire to run 40 miles/week. We give Free Passes to those who come really close or try really hard... Here's the tally from last week. I love reading about all your runs, but just have no time to comment this week. Great job, though, everyone! Welcome back, Jules2!

    Monday6-76Slow and sluggish
    Tuesday4-6 5 miles Easy pace, with 10 x 100M striders
    Wednesday0 0 miles Rest Day
    Thursday7-10 10 miles 5-mile Turkey Trot, plus WU and CD
    Friday6-7 6.8 miles Easy pace
    Saturday6-7 16 miles Slow pace
    Sunday12+ 8.3 miles Easy pace, 5.6 outside and 3.7 on TM
    Total? 53.1 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."

        I think I am actually going to make it this week. I was at 39 last week and hoping for 40 slow and easy miles this week without any really long run. Sunday - 8 easy miles (untimed) Monday - 6 easy (47:00) Tuesday - 8 easy (1:02:15) Wednesday - 6 on the Treadmill and lift (actually ran 5 miles) Thursday - 10 easy (untimed - probably 8ish) Friday - 4-5 easy / lift (off) Saturday - off (5 miles untimed) Total: 42 Total - made it!

          goal is to keep mileage under 90 and run no more than 10 times. M 0/012 T 0/4/21 5x5 minutes @ CV pace at end (10.0 MPH 1.5% incline) W 5/0/0 TH 22.5 lsd with Fast Finish(6:27/6:11/6:00) / 5 in pm + Weights ** I think I am going to fail my goals for the week ** F 8/16 Weights in AM I have failed - Ate too much and have to burn those calories SA 0/10 *** I figured as long as I failed, I might as well fail big Big grin SU 31 on Tm with last 5 in @ 32 minutes Total = 134.5 miles running in 10 runs, 117.5 in 1st run of the day

          Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

                Had a tough fall this weekend. I will be running a little less. This weekend's 50k is for fun. I will be running it with a friend and try to find our way through it before dark. It can take awhile. I am sure we will run extra miles. You expect to get lost at this one. Monday - 5.10 Tuesday - Rest Wednesday - Rest, knee is still bothering me. Thursday - 7.55, knee bothers me just a little bit. Friday - 5.10 Saturday - Sunday - 40.00 "Dude, Where's the Trail" 50k Got lost a lot. Total Miles - 57.75 TomD

                    Oh, carp. With the turkey trot I didn't think I was going to come close to 40 this week, but maybe I am. I guess Pfitz didn't have me running Mon and Fri, so that make up for the missed miles.
