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	66.8	Nice 30 mile Friday Saturday
MikeE	48	Some miles with Ryan’s dog
Pfriese	40	On the nose
Alexander	Free Pass	Boston Taper
Lisa11	Free Pass	I’m right there with you

Foot pain is worse, guess I am back on the DL, darn it…

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	0 miles	Rest day
Tuesday	? miles	0 miles	50 minutes on recumbent bike
Wednesday	? miles	4 miles	Outside
Thursday	? miles	5 miles	Outside
Friday	? miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Saturday	? miles	0 miles	Recumbent bike
Sunday	? miles	5 miles	Outside, plus R. bike
Total		14 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."
