    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.  If I missed you, let me know.

            Hi Holly, my total for last week was 43.7 miles.  Here's my plan for this week.  I am trying to catch up to the bunny for the 1500 miles user group.  When I joined the group about 3 weeks ago I was about 160 miles behind the bunny and now I have cut to 80 miles!
