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	71.7	More doubles
SubDood	61.6	Mixing it up
Mike	47	Fast guy!
Runner KSA	39.3	Close enough
Holly S	37.9	A little short
Alexander R	Free Pass	Still healing
C-R	Free Pass	Nashvegas?

Here is my tentative plan. Family vacation to Colorado this week, so not sure how much running I will get. (DH expects me to spend time with the family, not running.)

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	0 miles	Early morning ATV riding
Tuesday	? miles	5.4 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	? miles	6.1 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	? miles	3 miles	Easy pace
Friday	? miles	0 miles	Out early with the family
Saturday	? miles	0 miles	Travel Day
Sunday	? miles	13 miles	Long run
Total		27.5

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."

I'm off of antibiotics for now, we'll see how that goes. The swelling around the ankles is reduced, but the pain in the shins is not completely gone, it comes back on downhills.
