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. Let me know if I missed you.

Who	Miles	Commentary
Slo_Hand	69.2	Looking good!
Rasmussenmp	66	Power outage when on a TM – not good
Tramps	56.1	Switching things around this week
C-R	55.7	What happened at the HM?
Hermosaboy	55	Highest mileage in a while. That Tuesday workout looks killer.
Holly	53	Last 30-mile weekend before ORRRC Marathon
Mainerunnah	53?	Just guessing here…
Pfriese	52.6	25K PR!
Johnlvs2run	51 miles	Looks like you’re on target for your goal

MikeE	40.4	Welcome!

BlazinCajun	32.4	Smokin’ 5K in spite of missed turn! Congrats to your DD!
Happyfeet	Free Pass	How’d the HM go?

Here’s my tentative plan for the week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0-3	0 miles	p90x Chest and Back, light core
Tuesday	6-9	7.2 miles	3 x 1/2-mile hill
Wednesday	0-5	5 miles	Easy pace, p90x Core Synergistics
Thursday	7-9	11.5 miles	7 am - 4 @ MP/Tempo ( 8:51, 8:34, 8:33, 8:33), 4.5pm
Friday	0-3	7 miles	P90X Ab Ripper, Shoulders and Arms weather was too nice to pass up
Saturday	5-6	3 miles	Easy pace on TM, plus P90X Shoulders and Arms
Sunday	12-15	15 miles	Lots of MP slow and sluggish
Total		44.2 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."

Just hit "quote" on someone's post with the chart, then copy and paste it. Or, if you send me an e-mail to hollys4874 at yahoo dot com, I will send it to you in a Word document.
