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 R	81.3	3002 miles in 2017!
SubDood	64.6	LR on TM
HermosaBoy	60.7	New annual mileage record!
MikeE	51	Frigid running
Holly S	37	Didn’t quite make it
PFriese	Free Pass	Holiday-busy

Here is my tentative plan. Weather may change it up.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	7 miles	Easy pace on TM
Tuesday	? miles	6 miles	Plus weights and core
Wednesday	4-5 miles	5.4 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	0 miles	Rest day
Friday	0 miles	5 miles	Plus weights and core
Saturday	5-7 miles	0 miles	URD
Sunday	15-17 miles	5.2 miles	Long Run nope
Total		28.6 miles	No motivation this week

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."

Thank you, Holly!

Mon 12.1mi (2:04) balmy 19 degrees

Tue 10mi (1:21) treadmill

Wed 8mi (0:59) treadmill, last 4 miles in 27min

Thu 8.4mi (1:37) 23F and snowstorm, 10 inches of snow

Fri 7mi (0:58) treadmill

Sat 7mi (1:29) 13F, snow covered trails

Sun 11mi (1:28) treadmill

Total: 63.5 miles

Not a great week for running: cold (single digits today), snow everywhere.

Plus my right hip is hurting again, which is not a good sign. In the end,

the treadmill won this week 4:3, only 3 outdoor runs. Running in deep

snow feels more like a stunt, and yeah, did I mention it was cold? Because

it was very cold with strong winds too.
