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
Pfriese	56.6	Nice 5K, 1^st AG
BerthaSlayer	51.6	Nice week!
Tramps	50.3	Trails and hills and paved road
MikeE	49	Heel pain
RunnerKSA	40	Just popping in – welcome!
Holly S	35.7	Recovery week
Alexander R	34.4	Tapering for Boston50.3

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Swimming
Tuesday	4-5 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	4.5 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	4.1 miles	Easy pace
Friday	12-15 miles	15 miles	Long run
Saturday	4-6 miles	4.45 miles	5.462K race and WU and CD
Sunday	4-7 miles	7.1 miles	Easy pace
Total		40.1 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."

Thank you, Holly!

Mon 26.2 mi (3:19) Boston
Tue, Wed, Thu 0
Fri 8 mi (1:04) treadmill
Sat 8.1 mi (1:26)
Sun 12.5 mi (1:35) track

Total: 54.8 miles

Boston did not go very well. Having run a 1:25 half in March I figured I was in at least 3:10 shape and that was my plan for Boston. I ended up running 3:19 with a massive positive split of 1:33/1:46.
