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.

Who	Miles	Commentary
Hermosaboy	75.1	Three doubles
DennisLey	68.8	Highest mileage week 2015
Subdood	61	5 weeks till Twin Cities
Mike	52.3	Even with a wedding
Alexander R	51	Cut back week
Holly S	49.4	Good week for me
Pfriese	43.6	Nice week
Happy Feat	42	Time for taper
Opie	34.8	PF – no!

Here is my tentative plan this week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0-3 miles	3 miles	Recovery pace, plus weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	0 miles	Rest day
Thursday	0 miles	6.2 miles	Easy pace
Friday	4-6 miles	14 miles	On my mountain bike though
Saturday	4-6 miles	4.2 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	20 miles	8.5 miles	Long run
Total		26.9 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."

Really enjoyed the Broadway Utlra

Society 6-hr run in Brookville park.

I went through the marathon in 4:05

or something like that, hoping to add

another 11-12 miles in the remaining

two hours, but managed only 8. So,

slowed down quite a bit, not sure why.

Last year I did 36.5 miles, on a hillier

course.
