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	82.1	Wow!
Alexander R	66.6	Scary number
MikeE	66	Nice LR!
Pfriese	55.7	Nice week
Metalmancpa	41.8	Welcome!
Holly S	34.7	Came up short
RunnerKSA	?
SubDood	Free Pass	Recovering

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0-3 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	5.1 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	7.5 miles	Easy pace
Friday	0 miles	15 miles	Long run
Saturday	15-17 miles	2 miles	Recovery pace
Sunday	5-7 miles	6.1 miles	Easy pace
Total		40.7 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 generally post my results at week's end, but since some post their plans:

Mon - 7 easy (actual 6.41 @ 9:03 pace)

Tue - SRD (rested as planned)

Wed - 7 easy (actual 6.44 @ 8:56 pace)

Thu - 7 easy (actual 5.29 @ 8:51 pace)

Fri - 7 easy (USRD - wasn't feeling that great)

Sat - 2 easy (actual 3.12 @ 8:33 pace)

Sun - 1st marathon 26.2 (actual 26.2 - 4:19:48)

For the week - 47.46

Easy is my idea of taper, plus lowering my normal 8+ daily runs to around 7 (or could be slightly less). So if all goes according to plan, should have 56 or so this week.

Heavy rain all day long today. I could run in the rain,

maybe. I actually thought about it for like a couple of

minutes. I do have this nice waterproof running jacket.

Super light. With a hood, too. But then I thought about all those times

I got sick after running in the rain. And also I did not

want to get my shoes wet.
