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 a placeholder until I get last week’s tally up.

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	3-4 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Tuesday	3-4 miles	3.5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	6 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-5 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	Travel
Saturday	? miles	5 miles	Jamaica!
Sunday	? miles	1 mile	Jamaica!
Total		25.5 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."
