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	Free Pass	Recovery week
Alexander R	84.2	Big week!
SubDood	56.3	Nice Yassos
MikeE	40	On the nose
Pfriese	34.9	Kayaking – fun!
Holly S	30.6	Sidelined by nasty blister

Here is my tentative plan, which will change with the weather forecast, probably.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Lazy
Tuesday	5-6 miles	6.5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	5-6 miles	4.3 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	0 miles	5.1 miles	Easy pace
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Saturday	5-7 miles	8 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	5-7 miles	14.6 miles	Long Run
Total		38.5 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."
