    For those of you who are new, this is the 40/40 thread, for people who are over 40 years old who run or aspire to run 40 miles/week. We give Free Passes to those who come really close or try really hard... Here's the tally for last week. Sorry so late, I've been so busy this week, what with soccer and school open houses, boss getting ready to go on vacation, etc. Let me know if I missed anyone.

    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."

                Holly I will second what Perch wrote! Good to see you back to running pain free. Yes, build back up slowly! Holly, err, a slight error in the summary. Alas nearly two minutes "off" my time from last year meant nearly two full minutes slower. Sad

PF is still there but tolerable Sat. 12.25 easy supposed to be 8 to 10 but met friends at track and ran a few more laps Total: 54.75 Still trying to figure out where this new PF is coming from.....I suspect either, new speed work, racquetball,pushing the mileage, or possibly some brisk walking.

                            Well, this is probably a game that I can effectively play since I average around 50 miles a week. I know I am too late for this past week's, but here is my tally nonetheless. WE 8/17 - 53.41 BF miles http://www.barefootrunner.org/08weeklymileage/weekending8-17-08.htm ---------------------------- Monday - 10.33 Tuesday- 10.18 Wednesday -10.58 Thursday - 10.37 Friday - 7.07 Saturday - 2.06 Sunday - 2.1 Total WE 8/24 - 52.69 BF Miles http://www.barefootrunner.org/08weeklymileage/weekending8-24-08.htm Thanks Holly!
