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
MikeE	61	Lots of miles, easing up of time goals
SubDood	58.2	Ron Daws 25K
Alexander	47.8	Only 1 TM run
Pfriese	45.2	Some Colorado miles
Lisa11	Free Pass	Recovery

Sick of taking it easy and last week got another tummy bug. WTF? Am I starting to react to some foods more, or just getting old? Got to figure it out. Foot is still kind of “iffy” but I am tired of babying it. Time to get out there and back to the 40!

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-5 miles	miles
Tuesday	4-5 miles	miles
Wednesday	4-5 miles	miles
Thursday	? miles		Prolly fasting bloodwork
Friday	? miles		Maybe swimming
Saturday	12-14 miles		LR
Sunday	? miles		Recovery
Total

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."
