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	83.4	Excellent for cranky legs
Alexander R	71.2	Nice and strong
Subdood	43.6	Looking good
DennisLey	40	Sweet for a recovery week
Pfriese	38.5	Barely short at all
Holly S	24.3	Still not 40!

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	2 miles	Plus weights and core
Tuesday	? miles	5 miles	?
Wednesday	0 miles	0 miles	Swimming laps
Thursday	? miles	4 miles	TM
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	Travel day
Saturday	? miles		?
Sunday	26.2 miles	26.2 miles	Portland Marathon
Total		37.2 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."
