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	71.4	Nice 32-mile weekend
HermosaBoy	67.11	Race Director - cool
Alexander R	57.1	San Diego trip
MikeE	51	Speedy!
Holly S	40.85	Mixing it up
PFriese	?

Here is my tentative plan. Weather may change it up.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	? miles	7 miles	On TM
Wednesday	4-5 miles	5.1 miles	Intervals on TM
Thursday	0 miles	0 miles	Heading out early for out-of-town seminar
Friday	? miles	5 miles	Hotel TM
Saturday	6-7 miles	14.6 miles	Long run
Sunday	17-20 miles	8.3 miles	Recovery pace
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."
