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
DennisLey	58.7	Madison Marathon!
Hermosaboy	53	State XC cheering and running
SubDood	40.5	Going for Grandma’s!
Opie	36	Close enough
Alexander R	Free Pass	Recovery
Mike	Free Pass	Recovery
Holly S	Free Pass	Just started again

I am just getting back, so mostly playing it by ear.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	5 miles
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5.2 miles	Plus Body Blast class
Wednesday	0 miles	3.6 miles	On TM
Thursday	4-6 miles	0 miles	P90X Legs and Back
Friday	4-6 miles	6.1 miles	Plus Shoulders, Arms, Triceps and Ab Ripper
Saturday	4-6 miles	2 miles	No time
Sunday	10-12 miles	13.6 miles	Long Run
Total		35.5 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."

Thank you holly!

I'm not gonna make it this week. Hurts to run. I dont think it is serious, but I need to take a few days off so I dont worsen the condition.

Philippians 4:13.

Hi Holly,

Hope you have a good week of running. I'm out again this week. I'm back running just not going to make 40. Maybe next week.
