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	75	Nice LR
Alexander R	67.5	TM LR - tough
SubDood	51.2	What was your x-training?
Pfriese	44.2	Made it!
Holly S	40.4	Got ‘er done
Tramps	Free Pass	TriBee racing support

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Travel
Tuesday	4-5 miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	4.3 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	0 Miles	No time....
Friday	? miles	10 miles	Trying to make it up, plus weights and core
Saturday	15-16 miles	6.1 miles	Recovery pace
Sunday	4-6 miles	14 miles	Long run
Total		38.4	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."

I'm trying another period of limited mileage to see if I can improve my knee situation. (Sigh) Extra rest day and more focus on dedicated exercises and stretching.

Wednesday	rest	0
Thursday	5	5.4
Friday	8	7.4	train wreck

Be safe. Be kind.

What was your x-training?

Coaching 4th and 5th grade boys baseball, of course! My son struck out 6 batters in his 2 innings. One of the other Dads is former major leaguer, and he said nice things about my son's pitching. Proud Daddy!

MTA: It wasn't running, but it got my heart rate up!
