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	64.5	Taper time?
Pfriese	62.8	1^st AG in 5K – sweet!
Alexander	62.6	That is a long run on a track
MikeE	54	Some good speed work
Lisa11	54	Nice progression 20 miler
Holly S	40.1	Made it!
Opie	39.6	Highest mileage since April

Here is my tentative plan. I intend to quit slacking and get the miles in so I can stay in the 40/40.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	3.2 miles	Recovery pace
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5.8 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	5.2 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	? miles	6.1 miles	Plus light weights workout
Friday	4-6 miles	2 miles	Golf event, so no LR
Saturday	? miles	3.5 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	? miles
Total

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."
