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.

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."
Thanks Holly!

Thanks SubDood - I was seriously wondering if it was time to retire the 40/40, since no one seemed interested....

Please don’t stop. I will be back as soon as I am back to 40 miles a week.
Hi Holly!

To echo what everyone else has said, please don't stop! If you need someone to "fill in" once in awhile, let me know -- I'd be happy to help keep it going. This thread has kept me going on quite a few occasions, and it's fun to see how others are doing throughout the year.
Thanks!!
Bob
Please keep it going!
I am injured and giving it 2 weeks before making a decision about whether or not to pull out of the marathon 😟
So my week was like this:
Monday walk 8 miles
Tuesday sulk because even walking hurts
Wednesday yell at someone at work because I’m really cranky
Thursday get on my husband’s stationary bike for 20 minutes which at least got my HR up a little
Friday do more on the stationary bike
Saturday do so much time on the stationary bike that now my other calf hurts too
Sunday rest. And sulk a bit.
thanks Holly
I'm keeping the streak alive; another 40+ week.
I ran 5 days, no plan, some days I ran farther than others.
