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. Nice job, folks!

Who	Miles	Commentary
Alexander R	56	Intervals after a 20 miler – that would be tough
DennisLey	54.3	Detroit Marathon (sorry for the head cold)
Mike	51.4	With a sermon to write
Hermosaboy	45	Recovering
Pfriese	41	OKC HM – 3^rd AG – well done!
Holly S	Free Pass	Off running for 3 weeks

Dental work means I am not allowed to run for 3 weeks, so I will be x-training instead.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	30 minutes bike trainer
Tuesday	0 miles	Yoga
Wednesday	0 miles	P90X Legs and Back
Thursday	0 miles	20 min bike trainer, 20 min Kempo
Friday	0 miles	30 minutes Kempo, 30 min bike trainer
Saturday	0 miles	1 hour bike trainer
Sunday	0 miles	45 min yoga, 15 min bike trainer
Total

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."

Got in 50 miles, but really busy with the championship season for my cross country team.
