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
IBleedUnionBlue	71.7	Nice week!
Mike E	64.9	Heckofa weekend!
Alexander	58	1^st AG in 5-mile race!
KellyDodge	57.2	1^st Master in 1-mile race!
Pfriese	49.2	With a 5K race
Tramps	44.8	In the heat
C-R	44.3	Meh
SubDood		Afton Trail 25K!
Runnerclay	43.4	Volunteered this week
Holly	37.15	I keep letting life get in the way
A Trackrat

Here’s my tentative plan for the week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0-3 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	3.5 miles	Easy pace, plus weights and core
Thursday	4-6 miles	6.4 miles	Easy pace
Friday	12-15 miles	12 miles	Longish run
Saturday	4-6 miles	4.15 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	6-8 miles	12 miles	Easy pace
Total		43.05 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."
