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. Let me know what adjustments to make.

Who	Miles	Commentary
Hermosaboy	94.1	That nasty hot weather is certainly not getting the best of YOU
Rasmussenmp	62.5	I like the way you mix it up
Tramps	51.3	Some cutback week
Milk Truck	47.1	Head colds in the summer are tough
Holly	46.1	Feeling the fitness slipping away
DfromBG	46 miles	Nice and steady in the summer heat
MikeE	43.1	The incredible shrinking man…..(:
MrPHinNJ	40.5	Not much slacking there
Orange Mat	40.25	Doing very well
Perch	40.2	A run with Rochrunner!
Opie	40	Right on the nose
Mainerunnah	34	Saving it for the Monday race
Runnerclay	Free Pass	Knee acting up
BTY	Free Pass	Busy with life

Here’s my tentative plan for the week. I’m a little worried about this heel pain that has been plaguing me, so I’ll play it by ear.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	5-8 miles	12.1	On TM, plus lower body weights
Tuesday	0 miles	0 miles	P90X Core Synergistics lazy 30 min weights
Wednesday	5-7	6 miles	A few hills thrown in
Thursday	5-7 miles	6.4 miles	6 x 800 (200)
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	P90X Chest, Shoulders and Triceps
Saturday	5-7	7 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	12-14	15.5 miles	Wave Run
Total	?	47 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."

Hey all, not sure what this week is going to look like for me. Was hoping to race a 4 miler this Saturday, but my legs are feeling REALLY beat up from the 25k Trail Run (I did not really race it, but it was rough) on last Saturday.

Hopefully make it to 40, but will have to wait and see...

Thanks for keeping this going Holly!!!

Came up a bit short of 40 with 26.3. Trying to be a good boy until I get the results of the MRI.

Think POSITIVE for me -- I was feeling as strong as I have been in a long time and was really ready to crank it up for Houston (27 weeks to go)...
