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
HermosaBoy	70.25	Lots of doubles
Alexander R	Free Pass	Just heal up
SubDood	60.9	Nice week!
C-R	?	Don’t trust me with your math…(;
Holly S	41.6	Made it, but slow and sweaty
Mike	40	On the nose

.

Here is my tentative plan. Playing it by ear this week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Rest day
Tuesday	5-6 miles	6.1 miles	6 x 400m/200m recovery
Wednesday	5-6 miles	5 miles	Plus some weights
Thursday	? miles	5.7 miles	Easy pace
Friday	? miles	17 miles	Long run
Saturday	? miles	0 miles	Travel Day
Sunday	? miles	4.1 miles	Easy Pace
Total		37.9 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."

I don't really plan out my weeks anymore since I have to be a little flexible and then it makes me crazy if I don't get the exact planned mileage in on a particular day. 39.3 miles for this past week, which, as we say in the law, is "substantial compliance." I didn't have the last .7 in me, and I've finally gained enough perspective to NOT go outside and do it tonight!

Thank you, Holly! Trying to heal up, as recommended. I'm still on antibiotics, and still very very far from 100%, but I was able to jog a bit this week. Need another free pass!

No go this week. Two trips to Nashvegas and back but I did get good weekend runs.
