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 R	70.5	Saturday looked like an awesome workout
HermosaBoy	58	Did you run the 5K?
MikeE	55	And you are doing these in so hot weather
PFriese	50.8	Solid week
SubDood	43.1	He’s back, and ready to ramp up
C-R	42	On a busy travel week
Holly S	40.2	Finally!

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	5 miles	5 miles	Plus some weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5.1 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	6.1 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	0 miles	0 miles	Upper weights and core
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	Maybe swim
Saturday	31.7 miles	DNS	Another Dam 50K sidelined with tummy bug
Sunday	2-3 miles	8 miles	Recovery pace
Total		Fail

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."

Believe it or not, my next "scheduled" race is not until the NYC Marathon on November 4! Right now, I'm just trying to keep my base mileage up through the early summer heat before starting my training plan in early July. Hence no real running plan to post.

This week::

M - 8.2 miles

T - 5 miles

W - 9.3 miles

Th - rest

F - 11.6 miles

Sa - 8 miles

Su - 8.1 miles miles
