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
Alexander R	Free Pass	Much deserved recovery
SubDood	78.1	Nice progressive 22-miler
HermosaBoy	75.4	Intervals, tempo and trails
MikeE	48	With some intervals and tempo
PFriese	45	With some intervals and tempo
Holly S	40	On the nose

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	miles	Easy pace
Tuesday	4-6 miles		Easy pace, plus weights and core in evening
Wednesday	4-6 miles		Easy pace
Thursday	4.6 miles		Plus weights and core in evening
Friday	? miles		Swimming?
Saturday	12-15 miles		Long run
Sunday	5-7 miles	3 miles	Easy pace, plus weights and core
Total

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."

Thanks Holly

I actually have a training plan for my fall marathon

Scheduled Workouts

Monday

Run - 1/4: 6 mi

Tuesday

Run - Track: 8 mi

Today

Run - 1/4: 5 mi

Sunday may be my long day as I'm racing a 5k on Sat

MTA - Not so much on Sunday. The race and walking 18 on Sunday morning did me in. Total 40.1 to squeak across the line.

Sat 18mi (3:56) trails to ocean

Sun 13.7mi (2:52) trails

Total: 57.6 miles

all week was very warm, but Saturday was extra hot and extra humid.

a few very large trees fell (on Friday night, I guess, in the thunderstorm), blocking the trail.

in one place I had to seriously climb over an unbelievable gigantic pileup of trees.

took me at least 10 minutes each way. today was very sweet 91F and not as humid
