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	71	Only 1 TM run – excellent!
Mike E	69	45 miles in 3 days – wow!
Hermosaboy	63.53	Good job being race director
SubDood	59.5	Better than expected is good
DennisLey	52	Nice 30-mile weekend
Pfriese	50.7	3^rd AG at 8K race – sweet!
Holly S	Free Pass	Oral surgery and travel got in the way

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	4.2 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	0-3 miles	7.3	10 x 120M striders
Friday	5-5 miles	7 miles	Easy pace
Saturday	18-20 miles	0 miles	Nada
Sunday	4-6 miles	20.3 miles	Long run
Total		46.8 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."
