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
Surly Bill	73.9	2-hour endurance run!
Alexander	62.6	Another 18/18 weekend
Pfriese	54.8	Cruise ship
SubDood	47.8	Afton Trail 25K!
MikeE	46	Solid week
Lisa11	41.1	Back from Edinburgh – nice vacation!
Holly	36.2	Plus swimming

Here is my tentative plan for the week. I don't think I will make the 40 since we are spending Thursday - Sunday at Norris Lake, and it is difficult to get out for much running on this trip.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	4.6 miles	Now the other foot is sore....
Tuesday	4-6 miles	0 miles	Sore foot (the other one)
Wednesday	4-6 miles	7 miles	Painful
Thursday	4-6 miles	0 miles
Friday	? miles	0 miles
Saturday	? miles	0 miles
Sunday	? miles	0 miles
Total		11.6 miles	Back on the DL

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."

They had a nice run. It was a statewide tourney in St. Cloud, and they were lucky to make it to Sunday. They came up a bit short, but they had a blast all weekend. One more big state tournament next weekend, then the season ends. It’s tough to run during a tournament; I have to fit it in in the afternoons when it’s crazy hot!

Wow! You ran 17 miles, today? I almost died running 7. And I didn’t spend all day outside at a baseball tournament!
