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	63.5	Minor surgery, hope it went well
Alexander R	63.4	Humidity has returned
PFriese	58.4	Sweet! What is your next race?
MikeE	58	Solid week
C-R	50	Nice round numbers
Holly S	30.8	Another recovery week, I guess

Here is my tentative plan. I am hoping to return to health this week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4.3 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	5.2 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-6 miles	5.3 miles	Easy pace
Friday	? miles	3.3 miles	Plus weights and core
Saturday	4-6 miles	7.1 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	12-15 miles	15 miles	Long run
Total		40.2 miles	Finally!

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 am guessing I will pass out first.

Continuous 200s until I can't go anymore.

200 @ 40

200 @ 45

Repeat...

Not dead yet!

I somehow managed 42 on a really busy travel week.
