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	67	Five doubles
SubDood	65.8	Tough progression 20-miler
Alexander R	57.9	Some TM running, nice week
Holly S	39.5	Almost

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4.4 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	4.3 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-6 miles	4.3 miles	Easy pace
Friday	? miles	4.1 miles	Easy pace
Saturday	5-7 miles	6 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	17-19 miles	19.3 miles	Long run
Total		42.4 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."

Thanks Holly!!!

I agree with Mike, getting in workouts when XC season starts is a bit trickier.

Wednesday	8	6.5 4.7	Easy AM miles with the XC Team Easy PM

And you can quote me as saying I was mis-quoted. Groucho Marx
