    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 a placeholder what I have for last week’s tally.  I know more of you were out there running, but busy.

              short week for me after the vacation:

               

              Day     Plan          Done

              Wed    8 mi           8mi

              Thurs  6 mi           6 mi

              Fri       8 mi           8 mi

              Sun    12 mi trail  10.6 mi (trail was shorter than I thought, with 3500' elev gain, so lots of walking up to the pass)

              Total:  34 mi         32.6

              Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done. 

              Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
