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. Handing out some Free Passes this week.

Who	Miles	Commentary
HermosaBoy	78.5	Four doubles
SubDood	58.8	LRs in the cold - yuck
PFriese	53.7	Diving into Hanson’s
Surly Bill	40	On the nose!
MikeE	Free Pass	Sick this week
Alexander R	Free Pass	Hamstring/hip issues
Holly S	Free Pass	Still dealing with tooth pain

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

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	2.5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	4.6 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	3 miles	Easy pace
Friday	0 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Saturday	5-7 miles	4 miles	Easy pace, plus weights and core
Sunday	15-17 miles	13 miles	Long Run
Total		32.1 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."
