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	65	Mostly TM
Mike E	58	Up with SubDood
Lisa11	55	Solid week
SubDood	40.1	In the Polar Vortex

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	4.2 miles	Recovery pace
Tuesday	? miles	4.7 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	? miles	3 miles	On TM, plus weights and core
Thursday	? miles
Friday	17-18 miles		Long run
Saturday	? miles
Sunday	? miles	16.1 miles	Long run
Total		28 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."

Thanks Holly!

I’m not very fast and kind of embarrassed to post times but pace is definitely improving over time, and so is HR especially with most of the miles being done at a lower pace and HR.

BQ in my age group is 4:20 and that is my goal this round of training.

Pfitz week 7

Monday	10 w 5@LT	10 w 5@LT	LT pace is dropping a bit
