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	60.9	Nice 30 mile weekend
MikeE	58	Tough but fast
Hermosaboy	56.6	Flu!
Pfriese	54.6	A2A HM, 3^rd AG – Sweet!
Tramps	50.5	Tribee’s tri week
Holly S	40.4	Finally back in the 40
BerthaSlayer	39.3	Close enough

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Swimming
Tuesday	4-5 miles	6.3 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	7 miles	Easy pace, with striders
Friday	? miles	4 miles	Easy pace, plus weights and core
Saturday	6-7 miles	5.2 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	13-15 miles	13.3 miles	Long Run
Total		40.8 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."

Travel week and I just realized I'd signed up for a 15K Saturday (what could go wrong?), so I'll cut back mileage a bit.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	6	6	EZ
Tuesday	6	5.8
Wednesday	10	9.9
Thursday	6	7.1
Friday	3 (?)	rest
Saturday	15K race	15K + 1.3 warmup	1:10:20/7:34. Right on target for current fitness. AG 9/26
Sunday	3	4
Total	~40	43.5

Be safe. Be kind.

Not to worry!
