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. Some great running happening here!

Who	Miles	Commentary
Alexander	78	What is SIAC?
Runnerclay	70	Big weekend!
IBleedUnionBlue	67.2	Keeping up the nice mileage
KellyDodge	57.3	1^st OA in 5K!
C-R	55.6	In spite of busy season
SubDood	50.4	Twin Cities Marathon!
Opie	37.8	St. George Marathon!
Tramps	34.8	Rough 20-mile race
Mike E	Free Pass	Recovery week
Pfriese	Free Pass	No problem
Holly	Free Pass	Recovery week

Here’s my tentative plan for the week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Thursday	0-3 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Friday	12-15 miles	12 miles	Long Run
Saturday	4-7 miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	5-8 miles	7.4 miles	Easy pace
Total		33.4 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."

I'm out this week recovering. Thanks for keeping this thread going, Holly! It is one of the keys to keeping my training consistent week to week.

BTW -- I heard/read that you are looking for a 50-something race for next year? I hope MikeE hasn't caused you to rule out Minnesota as a possibility! There is a 50K trail run at a Minnesota ski area in early July (the Afton Trail Run). I've done the 25K there the last 2 years, but I'm thinking about doing the 50K next year as a way to celebrate turning 50 myself. Just a thought. It's hilly and scenic, although probably not as tough as the Vermont thing you all did. I am still in awe!

I had two recovery weeks following Equinox and back up to 40 last week. Feeling okay. Saturday was the first day that I felt good. I did an 8 miler on Skyline Ridge, Secret Trail-After Hours trail. I'm going to miss that run!

Went skiing for about an hour on Sunday! Go figure. Other than being strewn with birch seeds and leaves the trails were very good. Fast snow too.

One week to go here before my migration.
