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 the tally from last week - sorry so late!.

Who	Miles	Commentary
Hermosaboy	80.25	Nice week!
Alexander R	72.9	Trails, treadmill, track
Subdood	61.1	Not a mud-lover myself
DennisLey	44	Quad Cities Marathon
Holly S	31.6	Getting closer to 40!
BerthaSlayer	Free Pass	Recovery week

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	1 mile	Plus weights and core
Tuesday	? miles	3 miles	Slow
Wednesday	0 miles	0 miles	Swimming laps
Thursday	? miles	4.3 miles	TM
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	Swimming laps, plus weights and core
Saturday	? miles	4 miles	Slow
Sunday	? miles	12 miles	?
Total		24.3 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."
