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	76.5	Mucho doubles
Pfriese	70.1	Highest mileage week ever!
Alexander R	62.9	Sore ankle - bummer
MikeE	54	Speedy tempo but sore heels
Tramps	52.9	Lots of trails
BerthaSlayer	51	Another tough progressive 20 miler
Holly S	42.9	ORRRC Marathon

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Rest day
Tuesday	4-5 miles	4.8 miles	Recovery pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Friday	0 miles	7 miles	Swimming
Saturday	5-6 miles	4.1 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	12-14 miles	11 miles	Long run
Total		35.7 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."

I got just over 40 miles this week due to the 14 today, but I generally won't get 40. I decided a couple of years ago that it was too much for me at this age and with a demanding job. I shoot for 34-37. Kudos to those of you who hit the 40!!!
