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
Mike E	69.4	That’s a lot of running!
Alexander R	66	Anaheim, not great for running, I agree
Hermosaboy	61.9	I hate stitches, and am never sure what caused them – have gotten them near the end of several marathons
SubDood	53.5	I have had good results with Kinesio tape for Achilles, if yours doesn’t clear up maybe try it.
Pfriese	51.7	Plus swimming
DennisLey	50.4	Nice week
Holly S	41.5	Taper time, sort of
Runnerclay	33.6	Close enough

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0-3 miles	1.4 miles	Plus weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4.1 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	6.1 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	0 miles	0 miles	Early morning travel to conference
Friday	5-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Saturday	12-15 miles	5 miles	Easy pace, plus weights and core
Sunday	4-6 miles	11 miles	Long run
Total		32.6	A bit short

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."

Wow, runnerclay! Either one of these days would kill me. Consecutive days like this is inconceivable. Nice work!
