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	69	Trails, mostly
Hermosaboy	55.25	Good luck at the race on the 4th
Pfriese	47.8	Nice week
DennisLey	45.7	Summer training begins
Mike E	42	Speed workouts not doing well this week
Holly S	Free Pass	Still on DL

Here is my tentative plan. Still no running allowed but will try to do some walking and weights.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	? miles		?
Wednesday	? miles	2 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	? miles		?
Friday	? miles	3 miles	Plus weights and core
Saturday	? miles		?
Sunday	? miles	2 miles	?
Total		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."

Hi Holly.

Thanks for the tally. No plan again this week but hope to make 40 again this week. The heat & humidity will be dangerous here this week so that could lower my mileage, too.

M - 5K race + warm up; finished 2AG (new AG 60-64), 1st, 2nd, & 3rd in new AG separated by only 6 seconds!

T - 8 miles; hot & humid, jtwili!

W - 5 ezpz miles

Th - 0 miles; extreme heat warning, seemed like a good day to take a day off running.

F - 14 miles; early morning t-storm cooled things off so I got in a longish run while I could.

Sa - 9.1 miles; second cool morning in a row! heat builds back in tomorrow.

Su - 0 miles; gone fishin'

____________

Total - 40 miles

Monday July 4th was my first race in the 50-54 AG. With the heat and the crazy hills it went even slower than expected. Still got 1st place AG and 1st place masters team.

Thank you Holly - and hope you are healing quick Smile

60.1 miles this week. Highlight might have been an unexpected 3rd in Age Group at a 5K.

Philippians 4:13.
