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	52	Nice MP LR
MikeE	58	More fun with CC team
Holly S	39	MIL visit, came up short
HermosaBoy	74.4	Scary post race ER trip
Alexander R	28.4	Recovery week

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	5-8 miles	0 miles	Rest day
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4.7 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	5.2 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Friday	? miles	8.1 miles	Easy pace
Saturday	5-7 miles	3.45 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	13-17 miles	15 miles	Long run
Total		41.4 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."
