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. I have some dental work and also a weekend trip planned, so I will be short on miles this week.

Who	Miles	Commentary
Alexander R	71	Hope that Achilles eases
Hermosaboy	61.43	Just curious, what is your MGP?
DennisLey	60.5	Nice February miles
Pfriese	50.3	Nice 20-miler, and the day after a race 1^st AG – well done!
Mike E	42	Run with Mikey!
Holly S	41	10-mile race – 1^st race in 2016
SubDood	40	On the nose
Spinach	Free Pass	See you next week

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	3 miles	0 miles	Early morning meeting
Tuesday	0 miles	0 miles	Oral surgery
Wednesday	4-6 miles	6 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Friday	15-17 miles	14 miles	Long run
Saturday	? miles	2 miles	Plus stair climber and a few weights
Sunday	? miles	0 miles	Travel
Total		27 miles	Seriously 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."
