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	65.11	Solid week
Alexander R	63.5	Cold and snow!
SubDood	63	More miles than degrees LR
Surly Bill	51.2	Nice week!
Analogkid	45	Welcome!
PFriese	44.7	Windy Sunday!
MikeE	Free Pass	Doctor’s orders
Holly S	Free Pass	Just too cold and lacking in motivation

Here is my tentative plan. Weather may change it up.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	? miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	17.1 miles	Long run
Friday	0 miles	2 miles	Plus weights and core
Saturday	5-7 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	15-17 miles	9 miles	TM
Total		43.1 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."
