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
HermosaBoy	73.8	Doubles almost every day!
Alexander R	71.6	1^st place OA at 6 hour race - awesome!
MikeE	59	That Sunday run does not look like a fail to me
Holly S	46	Taper time
SubDood	43.6	Hope Twin Cities went well!

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	4 miles	Hills
Thursday	4-6 miles	7 miles
Friday	10-12 miles	13.4 miles	Long run
Saturday	5-7 miles	0 miles	Ziplining
Sunday	0-3 miles	9 miles	At lacrosse tournament
Total		37.4 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."
