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	72.5	15K PR-sweet!
SubDood	61.6	Nice week
C-R	51.6	First time over 50 since Feb
Alexander R	50.3	Slowly getting better
Mike	45	Speedy
Runner KSA	40.7	Flexible plan
Holly S	Free Pass	Family vacation

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Nada
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	5.2 miles	Fartleks
Thursday	4-6 miles	10.2 miles	Easy pace
Friday	? miles	0 miles	Swimming (1250yards) and some weights
Saturday	5-7 miles	6.6 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	17-18 miles	18 miles	Long run
Total		45 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.

Thinking a bunch of 10ks and a long run 17+ on Sunday should do the trick.
