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
SubDood	59.8	Getting some good TM training
HermosaBoy	56.16	Ramping up again
Alexander R	56.1	Mostly in the park
MikeE	52	In the cold and snow
PFriese	42.3	Even with the holiday stuff
Holly S	41.2	Ahead of the pace bunny!
Surly Bill	40.2	Welcome!

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	5 miles	Recovery pace
Tuesday	? miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Wednesday	4-5 miles	7 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Friday	0 miles	6.8 miles	Easy pace
Saturday	5-7 miles	14.2 miles	Long run
Sunday	15-17 miles	4 miles	Recovery pace
Total		37 miles	A little short

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."

Hi Holly.

I'll need a free pass to end the year. Too many holiday activities. I'll be back for 2018.
