For those of you who are new, this is the 40/40 thread, for people who are over 40 years old who run or aspire to run 40 miles/week. We give Free Passes to those who come really close or try really hard... Here's what I have for last week's tally. Let me know if any changes or additions need to be made.

Who	Miles	Commentary
Dopple Bock	134.5	Trying to burn off your overeat, I’d say you did it!
Hermosaboy	90.1	Nice 20-miler, and speedy. I sympathize, ALL my 20-milers are by myself, and yes, they sure can be long, especially as slow as I am....
Jim24315	64	Nice Tuesday double
TomD	57.75	Dude, Where’s the Trail 50K! I would not have such a good attitude about getting lost at that distance.
Franc59	56.1	Seattle Marathon!
Holly	53.1	A little extra mileage for the pie.
SLOjim	53	Lots of miles, nice and steady.
Barefoot Rick	51.54	Solid and strong barefoot running
Perch	49.6	8K PR and 3rd AG – Nice!
Ultrachick	46.2	Off schedule, but still running.
WillRunForBeer	42	With a 5K Turkey Trot. Nice progression med LR, btw.
JDMom3	42	Made it! Hope your healing process moves quickly.
Breger	41	Looks like you achieved Dopple Bock’s goals, even if he didn’t.
Tetsujin	40.2	Jumping right in with the Seattle Ghost Marathon.
Pfriese	33.8	Free Pass

Thanks Holly for this thread, without it I would probably would run as many miles, but I would not be keeping a record of it. My right foot still hurts some. I hope to start running again tomorrow morning. Monday - Rest, foot is still hurting Tuesday - Rest, hopefully it is okay tomorrow Wednesday - Thursday - Friday - Saturday - Sunday - Total Miles - 25.90 Finally, my foot is working well. I should have a big improvement next week. TomD

Thursday - 6.02 miles (7:45) 8:30 - 8:13 - 7:58 - 7:28 - 6:40 - 7:37 - :10 Friday - 5.01 miles - 42:13 - 8:25 - 8:32 - 8:21 - 8:24 - 8:23 - 8:23 -8:15 - .08 Saturday - 8.02 miles - 1:07:42 - 8:26 - Avg HR 123 Max HR 144 - partly cloudy & 21 degrees.
