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	90	Wow!
Alexander R	62.6	Big weekend of running
DennisLey	49.8	Baltimore Marathon!
Holly S	37.2	Portland Marathon!
Pfriese	Free Pass	Cough/cold and travel

So late! Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	3 miles	Plus core
Tuesday	4-5 miles	4.3 miles	Slow still
Wednesday	0 miles	0 miles	Swimming laps
Thursday	4-5 miles	6 miles	TM
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	Swimming laps, weights and core
Saturday	5-7 miles	6.5 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	10-14 miles	11 miles	Long run, sort of
Total		30.8	Still not 40, but getting there!

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."
