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	70	Outside run!
Hermosaboy	54.35	Fast Snowshoe Mile!
Mike E	50	Outside run! A big deal in MN in February, I know.
DennisLey	50	Speedy Wednesday run!
SubDood	48.8	I don’t know if ski miles count, but we are flexible here…
Pfriese	46.1	Coldest 5K – 4AG – nice!
Holly S	42	Back to running
Spinach	42	Welcome!

Here is my tentative plan, which may fluctuate, depending on the weather and my back pain

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5.5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-6 miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Friday	4-6 miles	1 miles	Easy pace, plus weights and core
Saturday	5-7 miles	20.1 miles	Long run
Sunday	17-20 miles	5 miles	Recovery pace
Total		40.6 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."

Corrected to this week:

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0	Day off
Tuesday	4-6 miles	6.2	indoors first 25 laps in shoes, last 25 barefoot
Wednesday	4-6 miles	4.3	group run at running store
Thursday	4-6 miles	8.1	indoors 65 laps
Friday	0	0	Day off
Saturday	7-8 miles	0	Wasn't able to get out for a run
Sunday	11 miles	12.3	Easy run
Total		30.9	Oops, I missed. That is what I get for skipping the run on Saturday

I hope my foot stays okay and i will be able to begin to lengthen my runs. I may skip all the marathons this year or maybe do just one to let my foot continue to heal. I will be 59 this year, next year I;ll be in a new age group and want to be in shape for that.

Hiyah Spinach!

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."

Thanks y'all for welcoming me here.

65 laps indoors isn't really that bad. I have run 7 indoor marathons, well over a thousand laps in those marathons. You get used to it.

Cecil - well done!

Spinach - 7 indoor marathons - wow!

Thank you, Holly! Spinach, yes, indoor track is better than treadmill. I used to run on a tiny indoor track, 12 laps for the mile, so doing a 20 miler in there was a math exercise. Not losing count was key

Mon 12 mi (1:35) treadmill

Tue 9 mi (1:12) treadmill

Wed 0

Thu 9 mi (1:15) treadmill

Fri 12 mi (1:32) treadmill

Sat 5.1 mi (0:45) and 8 mi (1:17), with 30 min rest

Sun 13.5 mi (1:51) outdoor track

Total: 68 miles (9 hrs 28 min)

Beautiful weekend, today it was 60 degrees and sunshine! I ended up running in shorts only, no shirt
