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	67	1^st AG in tough, hot 100K!
SubDood	63.4	Baseball tourney runs
Pfriese	62.5	Triple ascent LR
MikeE	36	No problem

No plan for this week. Still on the DL, cross-training as best I can.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	40 minutes bike-to-nowhere
Tuesday	0 miles	1 miles	Plus 30 min. bike
Wednesday	miles	2 miles	Plus 15 min. bike
Thursday	miles	0 miles	Swimming (1300 yards)
Friday	? miles	3 miles	Plus weights and core
Saturday	? miles	0 miles	Swimming (1800 yards)
Sunday	? miles	4.1 miles	Easing back into it
Total		10.1 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."

Hi Holly.

I started off the week already off plan. So, I'll just post as the week goes.

M - unplanned rest day

T - 8 miles easy

W - 11 mile strength training (1.5mile wu, 2x3mile at 8:20/mile with 1 mile recovery, 1.5mile cd)

Th - 6 miles easy

F - 12 miles with middle 9 at marathon pace

Sa - 10 miles easy

Su - 12 miles up/down Mt Scott x2

____________

Total - 59 miles

As it turns out, it was a good week. Pretty much on schedule except for taking Wednesday's rest day on Monday.
