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	66	Every day
MikeE	64	Nice 22-mile Saturday
Pfriese	55	Rested and back
Holly S	46	Steamtown Marathon
Alexander R	35.5	H&H took a toll, but 9/411 is still awesome

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Travel time
Tuesday	? miles	0 miles	Light core and weights
Wednesday	4-5 miles	2.1 miles	Recovery pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	Migraine
Saturday	5-7 miles	4.5 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	10-12 miles	10 miles	Long run
Total		21.6 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."

Wow -- congrats on 39 marathons, Holly!

I'm still recovering, so I need a pass this week (and one for last week as well). Thanks!
