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	70.4	Outdoors all week
Hermosaboy	51.94	GB HM 1:18:49 – fast!
Pfriese	33	Wild Rogue Relay!
DennisLey	40+	Grandma’s Marathon!
Opie	Free Pass	Wild Rogue Relay!
Holly S	Free Pass	On the DL

Here is my tentative plan. Still no running allowed but will try to do some walking and weights.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles
Tuesday	0 miles		?
Wednesday	0 miles		?
Thursday	0 miles		?
Friday	0 miles		?
Saturday	0 miles		?
Sunday	0 miles		?
Total

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."

Not sure I will hit 40 this week? Recovery from the half on Saturday and a little minor surgery yesterday might make it tough.

Was able to sneak in 40. Smile

Will play it by ear...

Minor surgery? Rest up! Healing is more important.

Another 100% outdoor week here. Not only that, it was all on trails, with weekend miles on real trails (not Central park style super-wide and manicured "trails"), some of them fairly technical. Tripped and almost fell a few times today. Rocks, roots, leaves, everything. Including even 16 minute miles

Nothing major -- just some stuff that @rtravers would recommend...
