Holly's in Jamaica. She shouldn't have to deal with starting up this thread.

"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..."

Weather could be an issue this week. We'll see.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	6	5.5	EZ
Tuesday	8	0	Hills ice / sleet
Wednesday	6	8	EZ
Thursday	10	11.1	4 tempo miles
Friday	6	6	EZ
Saturday	0		rest
Sunday	13	13.1	rail trail
Total	~50	43.7

Be safe. Be kind.

Mon 9.8mi (1:27) Central Park

Tue 0

Wed 11mi (1:23) treadmill

Thu 0

Fri 9.4 mi (1:23) Central Park

Sat 0

Sun 13.1 mi (1:25) NYC half

Total: 43.3 miles

I ran with the 1:25 pace group until about mile 11, that was where my hopes of going 1:24 started to fade. It's a big race, I was 16th out of 825 in the 50-54 AG.

On Friday (March 17) I had to wait for a gap in the parade on the 5th ave, on my to the park and on the way back.
