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	70.5	3/124 is an excellent placement – well done!
HermosaBoy	68.25	Nice week
Tramps	40.2	Me too!
Holly S	40.2	Just made it
Pfriese	Free pass	Vacation
SubDood	Free Pass	Nursing a sprain

Here is my tentative plan, which will change with the weather forecast, probably.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	7-10 miles	10.4 miles	Holiday
Tuesday	0 miles	0 miles	Swimming (1150 yards)
Wednesday	4-6 miles	6.3 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	0 miles	3.6 miles	Swimming
Friday	6-7 miles	17.6 miles	Easy pace, plus weights and core
Saturday	15-16 miles	9 miles	Long Run
Sunday	4-6 miles	4.6 miles	Recovery pace
Total		51.5 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."

Friday	18	18	Includes 12 mile progression run where pace gets faster every 3 miles. Crashed fairly hard in this due to heat. UGH

I agree. And, he ran a 16:46 5K!

My ankle still hurts after spraining it 2 weekends ago. I haven't run in 11 days, and I might just go crazy. Work is super busy, so that actually helps. Hoping to run again by next week, although 40 mile weeks might still be a ways off.

Thank you, Holly! Hermosaboy, impressive mileage and 5k!

Mon 4 mi (25:15) Memorial Day Run, 2nd AG. plus 1 mile cool down
Tue 0
Wed 11.8 mi (1:53)
Thu 11.8 mi (1:45)
Fri 0
Sat 20 mi (3:53), trails to ocean and back, plus 0.6 mile warm up
Sun 11.4 mi (1:26) track

Total: 60.6 miles

I'm not hitting my weekly and monthly goals, and the reason is simple: too many days off! The trend continues this week, with two big round zeros and and easy day. On the plus side I watched Comrades marathon until 2am last night and it was great fun. At 2am they were only 2 hours into the race, with maybe another 3hrs to go, so I had to bail out.
