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
Subdood	71.3	Big week!
Alexander R	69.5	Amundsen Trail - cool
Hermosaboy	60.55	Knocking ‘em out!
DennisLey	55.2	Solid week
Pfriese	44.4	Nice trio of 4s
Holly S	Free Pass	STILL on the DL

Here is my tentative plan. I think I can start running, but need to go slow (not hard since I have completely lost my fitness).

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	? miles	3.1 miles	Slow
Wednesday	? miles	0 miles	45 minutes on bike trainer
Thursday	? miles	0 miles	45 minutes on bike trainer
Friday	? miles		?
Saturday	? miles	3 miles	?
Sunday	? miles	7 miles	?
Total		13.1 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."

I am going to need a pass. Planned downtime this week. Will be running Ragnar Great River on Friday and Saturday, but just for fun as a fill in runner.

Training for CIM starts next week. Smile

ETA -- 21.3 miles with 16.2 being at the Ragnar Relay. One leg run with Jeannie since they cancelled my first leg and then two on my own.

And you can quote me as saying I was mis-quoted. Groucho Marx

Turned ankle at a trail 1/2 marathon and wasnt able to get in my Sunday planned LR due to some tenderness and swelling. I did get 33 miles for the week. And it 's completely OK, I did go out and run on it today Smile
