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
Mike E	74	Four 16-milers in a row
Hermosaboy	72.05	Another high mileage week
Alexander R	62	Heckofa weekend
SubDood	61.8	How did the HM go?
Runnerclay	52	Male OA Winner 50K – well done!
Holly S	45.5	ORRRC Xenia Marathon
Pfriese	42	Nice running on vacation
DennisLey	40.2	Xenia was windy, but at least no rain
Ileneforward	40	Hiyah!
Spinach	Free Pass	Xenia Marathon is not exciting, but it is cheap and the volunteers and post-race food are awesome

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Some upper weights and core
Tuesday	4-5 miles	4 miles	Recovery pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Thursday	0-3 miles	3 miles	Easy pace
Friday	5-7 miles	7 miles	Easy pace
Saturday	4-6 miles	0 miles	Went to OU to visit my niece
Sunday	12-14 miles	10.1 miles	Long run, legs still tired
Total		24.1	Recovery week

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."
