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	90.33	Another big week!
Pfriese	64	Big week. What’s your next race?
MikeE	53	Taper, sort of
Alexander R	46.6	17^th NYC Marathon – sweet!
RunnerKSA	44	Excellent!
Holly S	31	Life got in the way
SubDood	Free Pass

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0-3 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	6 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	6.1 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	3 am 2 pm	Easy pace Plus spinning and weights at YMCA
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	Swimming, 1300 yards
Saturday	15-17 miles	6 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	5-7 miles	18 miles	Long run
Total		41.1 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."

It was fun being on these 40/40 threads for a bit. But now that my marathon is behind me, I think my mileage will be in the mid 30's from now through tax season (at a minimum). I might touch 40 here or there, but not planned.

That's okay Metalman - we will still see you in the dailies!

Hey Holly.

Rest week this week & then a few things (life) kept me from running on days I was supposed to. I ended up with only 21 miles for the week, so I'll need a pass this week. Next race is Route 66 Half Marathon in Tulsa on November 19.
