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
Alexander R	90	Wow!
Subdood	69.4	Nice week
Mike	52	Lots of speedwork
OrangeMat	47.8	Nice to see you again!
Tramps	46.2	Slow and unsteady?
DennisLey	42.1	Nice 5K!
Holly	31.6	Tapering
Happy Feat	28.1	HM, beat your goal!

Here is my tentative plan this week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	6 miles	Easy pace
Tuesday	4-6 miles	6 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	2 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	0 miles	0 miles	Rest day
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	Rest day
Saturday	26.2 miles	26.2	Charlevoix Marathon!
Sunday	? miles	0 miles	Travel home
Total		40.2 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."
