    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. Let me know if there are any errors.

    DayPlanActualCommentary
    Monday2-33.25 miles Plus weights and core
    Tuesday6-7 8 miles Intervals on TM
    Wednesday6-7 6 miles Easy pace on TM
    Thursday6-7 9 miles miles 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 at (8:42, 8:38, 8:44, 8:42, 8:49)
    Friday1-2 0 miles Weights and core
    Saturday6-7 7 miles Easy pace
    Sunday16-18 20.25 Some at MP
    Total? 53.5 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."
