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	70	Nice round number
Alexander R	69.3	Crazy weather
SubDood	67	LR on TM – tough!
MikeE	56	Healed and back to fast
PFriese	47.5	Plus swimming
Holly S	43.1	Snuck in my LR on a work day – only warm day

Here is my tentative plan. Weather may change it up.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace on TM
Wednesday	4-5 miles	0 miles	Slept in
Thursday	4-5 miles	8 miles	Easy pace
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	Oral surgery
Saturday	5-7 miles	0 miles	Still hurting
Sunday	15-17 miles	6.5 miles	Easy pace
Total		19.5 miles	Darn oral surgery

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."

Thank you, Holly!

Mon 8mi (1:09) treadmill

Tue 9mi (1:03) treadmill, last 3 at 6:40 pace

Wed 0

Thu 8mi (1:06) treadmill

Fri 7.4mi (1:01) central park

Sat 5.5mi (0:51)

Sun 13.1mi (1:31) Manhattan half, +2.2mi wu/cd, +3.3mi later

Total: 56.5 miles

Ideal weather for Manhattan half today, low 40s, no wind.

I got my goal of qualifying for NYCM in 2019, so I should

not complain too much. My right hamstring started hurting

after mile 3, so I took it easier after that, and then there was

a very sharp pain in the last mile. Not sure what happened.

I hobbled to the finish, and then did a short cool down and

then I even went for an extra 3 miler later, to investigate.

The hamstring is definitely very sore, but the pain is sort

of dull now, maybe it was a cramp.
