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	62.6	With a cold…{{}}
PFriese	60	While on a cruise!
SubDood	58.8	Good week indeed!
MikeE	46	He’s back!
HermosaBoy	40.86	He’s back!
Holly S	40.7	Got it done

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4.8 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	5.3 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	0 miles	No time
Friday	0 miles	9 miles	Make it up
Saturday	5-7 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	15-17 miles	17.1 miles	Long Run
Total		41.2 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."
