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	66.8	Yup, that is a big weekend, and in the heat
SubDood	56.7	Those are long midweek runs
Pfriese	52	Mountain runs rock
Holly	44.9	Finally!
MikeE	Free Pass	No problem

Here is my tentative plan for the week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	4.75 miles	Recovery paced
Tuesday	4-6 miles	0 miles	Swimming (1250 yards)
Wednesday	4-6 miles	7 miles	Caught in the rain
Thursday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Still slow as dirt
Friday	? miles	7 miles	Plus weights and core
Saturday	12-14 miles	0 miles	Swimming (1800 yards)
Sunday	? miles	12.15 miles	Long run
Total		36.2 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."
