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	81.32	25K race – was it Ron Daws?
SubDood	71.8	Ron Daws 25K – did you make goal?
Alexander R	60	Nice round number
MikeE	58	Lifting weights, too
PFriese	53.4	Taper, sort of
Bioguy	51.5	Welcome!
Holly S	41.2	First 20-miler this year
Opie	36.3	Close enough

Here is my tentative plan. Weekend weather may change it up

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	0 miles	Lazy
	0 miles	0 miles	Fasting bloodwork
Wednesday	4-6 miles	0 miles	Migraine
Thursday	4-6 miles	5 miles	TM
Friday	? miles	4.1 miles	Easy pace
Saturday	18-20 miles	20.1 miles	Long run
Sunday	4-7 miles	3 miles	Recovery pace
Total		32.2 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."

19.5 TM miles almost killed me. Not having a snowblower is going to finish off the job. More than a foot since Friday night, and it’s still coming down.

Holly - Yes, I reached my goal of not puking at Ron Daws. I ran a 25k PR, and a course PR by almost 4 minutes. 2nd AG out of 14. HermosaBoy was 1st AG easily. If MikeE had run with us, we would’ve swept the podium (and I’d have been 3rd AG).

You three are just amazing runners!

How can you live in Minnesota and NOT have a snowblower?

Those two are amazing. I just happen to live in the same state.

I'm also the guy who ran 19.5 miles on the treadmill. I have a habit of doing things the hard way!
