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
SubDood	69.6	Horse flies – yikes!
HermosaBoy	64.1	Lots of doubles
Alexander R	48.2	I love your trails-to-ocean run. Do you stop and take your shoes off and wade a bit.
PFriese	40.3	Nice Tuesday intervals
C-R	?	Plan-free running week
Holly S	Free Pass	Lake Norris vacation – not much time to run

Here is my tentative plan. Not much running at Norris Lake, but I had a wonderful time.

However, time to get back to my running schedule.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	3 miles	Easy pace
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5.1 miles	Easy pace, plus weights and core in evening
Wednesday	4-6 miles	4.8 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4.6 miles	5.5 miles	Easy pace
Friday	? miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Saturday	12-15 miles	5.6 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	15-17 miles	16 miles	Long run
Total		40 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."

Thanks, Holly! You mentioned last week that Norris Lake had pit-bulls off leash in the area; running with the pit-bulls sounds more dangerous than the running of the bulls in Pamplona! Sorry to hear you weren't able to do much running there.
