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	74	Nice week
Alexander R	52.3	NJ Marathon 3^rd AG!
SubDood	50.8	Mixing up the workouts
Pfriese	48.7	OCM Marathon - BQ!
Tramps	42.3	H&H is rough
Holly S	40.8	Getting there…
BerthaSlayer	35.1	Fighting a cold
MikeE	Free Pass	Heel pain healing time

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	0 miles	Light weights
Tuesday	4-5 miles	5.2 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-5 miles	6.5 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	0 miles	3.1 miles	Easy Pace
Friday	4-6 miles	4.5 miles	Easy pace
Saturday	15-16 miles	7 miles	Easy Pace
Sunday	4-6 miles	14.1 miles	Easy pace
Total		40.4 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."
