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
IBleedUnionBlue	72.2	IN Monumental Marathon! Congrats, Maniac!
SubDood	58.3	Building up week
Tramps	56.4	Loving the cooler weather?
Mike E	53	Grandkids take priority
C-R	52.3	Made it happen!
Opie	47	Nicely done
Alexander	44	New York Marathon – nice racing!!
Fortunate One	41	Getting colder
Holly	38.7	Moab Trail Marathon!
Pfriese	38.2	Close enough

Here’s my tentative plan for the week, for now. Recovery week in store.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Travel day
Tuesday	3-6 miles	3.1 miles	Recovery pace
Wednesday	3-6 miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	3-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Saturday	4-7 miles	8.2 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	10-12 miles	6 miles	Long run
Total		26.3 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."
