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	90.50	Wow!
Alexander R	61	Last time I ran in a heavy rain, I got a blister that took a week to heal
Pfriese	60	Nice week!
MikeE	58	Nice time with CC team
Metalmancpa	47.46	Sweet First Marathon!
SubDood	41.1	Nice HM!
Holly S	40.7	I’m back!
RunnerKSA	40.7	Nice no plan week

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0-3 miles	0 miles	Light weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	10 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	0 miles	Easy pace
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	90 minute drive to all-day conference, prolly no workout
Saturday	15-17 miles	0 miles	Long run
Sunday	5-7 miles	17 miles	Long run
Total		31 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."

My plan? Taking the week off. I will assess my future fitness regimen of which the primary focus will be running, just not as much to leave room for other activities.

Fri 6.7 mi (0:59) central park

Sat 5.5 mi (0:52)

Sun 26.2 mi (3:23) NYC marathon

Total: 46.6 miles

My 17th NYC marathon (46 total marathons). Enjoyed the run,

as always, but man I'm slowing down. In 2014 I ran New York

in 3:03, then it was 3:11 in 2015, 3:15 last year, and now 3:23.

I'm 51, so this is still 7 minutes under BQ2019.
