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	63	Lots of TM miles
SubDood	57.26	Lots of TM miles, too
Mike E	56	Wish I could do 10 milers that fast
Hermosaboy	53.11	LA travel
DennisLey	50.3	What movie?
Holly S	29	Back pain slowed me down

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	Bike trainer and light weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	6 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Friday	5-7 miles	4.5 miles	Easy pace, plus weights and core
Saturday	15-17 miles	18 miles	Long run
Sunday	5-9 miles	4.5 miles	Recovery pace
Total		42 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."

Thank You Holly.

My schedule gets hectic over the weekend. I just want to plan a LR, a GMP run, an EZ TM incline run and a hanson strength workout. Where they fall is just a guess.

M - 10 m. TM. 5 m at 8:20 pace, then 5 m at 7:54 pace.

T - 1 m. Really tired today. Decided to chuck it and rest.

W - 11 m. TM. 7:49 overall pace. (GMP run)

F - 18 m. TM.

Sun - 10 m.

50 miles total.

Philippians 4:13.

Well I finally got back to 40 miles last week for the first time since I hurt my foot in August. If my foot cooperates i will be able to stay here fairly regularly now.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0	Day off
Tuesday	4-6 miles	6	indoors
Wednesday	4-6 miles	5	group run at running store
Thursday	4-6 miles	8	indoors
Friday	0	0	Day off
Saturday	7-8 miles	12	10k race
Sunday	11 miles	11	Easy pace
Total		42

This was thanks to the strange 10k I ran on Saturday. It was actually a quarter marathon but they called it a 10k. There was a half that did the loop twice and I was supposed to do the loop once, but the route wasn't well marked and many of us got lost. I knew that something was wrong when the leaders of the half marathon were coming back on the route, that wasn't supposed to happen on a loop course and then I checked my gps and saw I had already run over 7 miles. After stopping at couple gas stations to ask for directions I eventually was able to get to the finish after going 11 miles. It was neat at the finish at an intersection, when I was getting there, there were runners from three different directions all approaching the finish
