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	71.6	Nice placement in marathon relay
Alexander R	66.1	Nice to have the cool days on the weekend for running longer
Pfriese	51.2	Mixing it up nicely
Tramps	39.7	Close enough
Holly S	38.4	A little short…
SubDood	37	Glad it’s a sprain, not a break, but still, go easy on it

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Swimming
Tuesday	4-5 miles	3.5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	5.3 miles	Including 7 x 200m
Thursday	4-5 miles	0 miles	Swimming, plus weights and core
Friday	14-16 miles	7.1 miles	Easy run
Saturday	5-7 miles	17.5 miles	Long run
Sunday	4-6 miles	6.8 miles	Recovery pace, plus weights and core
Total		40.2 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."

Mon 9 mi (1:09) treadmill
Tue 9.9 mi (1:22) central park
Wed 0
Thu 11 mi (1:25) treadmill
Fri 8 mi (0:58) treadmill, plus 2 miles cool down
Sat 17.6 mi (3:34) muddy trails

Total: 70.5 miles

My award for 3rd place in the 50-54 AG (New Jersey marathon) finally came this week. 3:09 was not a particularly fast time, but hey there were 124 dudes in my age group and only 2 ran faster, so I'll take it.

Alexander - that is too a fast finishing time - well done!
