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
SubDood	74.9	Big week
Alexander	52.6	Boston!
MikeE	52	Intervals, tempo, etc.
Pfriese	31.6	1^st AG in 5K!

Still not sure what’s up with the foot – playing it by ear…

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	0 miles	Light weights and core
Tuesday	? miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	? miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	? miles	0 miles	30 minutes on the bike
Friday	? miles	0 miles	60 times across the pool (1500 yards)
Saturday	? miles	5.75 miles	Damn foot pain
Sunday	? miles	3.05 miles	Taking it gently
Total		17.8 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."

Total: 51.3 miles

I split 1:37/1:44 in New Jersey yesterday,

obviously I was hoping for a faster time.

The weather was good, cloudy, 50F, no wind.

Maybe I just did not fully recover from Boston
