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	73.2	Nice week!
Alexander R	57	Happy Birthday!
DennisLey	43	Recovery runs
Pfriese	40.9	Park and lake – nice runs
Holly S	Free pass	Hamstring Strain

Here is my tentative plan. Not sure how my sore knee will hold up, mostly will play it by ear.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Light weights and core
Tuesday	? miles	0 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	? miles	7 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	? miles	0 miles	Hamstring strain, two weeks off
Friday	? miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Saturday	? miles	4 miles	Brisk walk
Sunday	? miles	5 miles	Brisk walk
Total		16 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."
