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
Alexander	74.3	Weather is improving
SubDood	69.6	Nice mixitup week
SurlyBill	41.1	I can’t even see the pace bunny anymore, but still hope
Pfriese	39.3	A2A HM – 3^rd AG – nice!
Lisa11	Free Pass	Hurting hoping to heal

My foot is being kind of “iffy” and I don’t want to reinjure the tendon just when the weather is getting ready to break, so I am going to play it by ear this week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	3-5 miles	4 miles	TM
Tuesday	3-5 miles	5.1 miles	Outside!
Wednesday	3-5 miles	0 miles	tummy bug
Thursday	? miles	0 miles
Friday	? miles	0 miles	Swimming today, 1250 yards
Saturday	? miles	8.2 miles	All I had time for
Sunday	0 miles	4.2 miles	Out of town with DH
Total		21.5	Enough of this carp - time to test it

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."
