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	70.3	Lots of TM
MikeE	45	Jumping back in
SubDood	44.7	Rocket City Marathon – fast!
Lisa11	Free Pass	Crushed that marathon goal!

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	0 miles	Swimming (1250 yards)
Tuesday	? miles	3 miles	TM
Wednesday	? miles	5.2 miles	Outside
Thursday	0 miles	0 miles	Swimming (1250 yards)
Friday	? miles	10.2 miles	Long run
Saturday	? miles	0 miles	Just some stretching...
Sunday	? miles	3.1 miles	Tripped on a sidewalk crack and took a bad spill...
Total		21.5 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."

I finished the cheesecake a day early (Friday). That was perseverance -- I thought I might cramp up at one point. I had more Beer AND Wine today. Tomorrow, I plan to wake up early and see if I remember how to run.
