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
Alexander	65.7	Damn – tough weekend!
SubDood	61	Working through the Dwarves
Pfriese	47.6	Which marathon did you sign up for?
Lisa11	45	Sweet!
Holly	33.3	Anniversary away

Here is my tentative plan for the week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	5.05 miles	Recovery pace
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4.6 miles
Wednesday	4-6 miles	5.7 miles
Thursday	4-6 miles	7 miles
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	Conference in Columbus, then golf
Saturday	12-14 miles	14.45 miles	Long run
Sunday	? miles	8.1 miles
Total		44.9 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."

another weekend, another "sandwich".

Sunday was 43 minutes faster, on the same

exact route, but I'm more proud of the Saturday

run actually. It was 91F in the shade with

crazy humidity, extremely muggy and sticky

just before a thunderstorm
