    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. Sorry it took so long, I've just been really busy this week.

    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."

                Still here -- not sure about counting my miles against 40 when reverse tapering -- it might motivate me to run more than I should. Roll eyes I expect to run more than this, but this is the Pfitz plan.

                      I have the same kind of injury as Erika, not a pinched nerve but sciatica, so I will be on the DL for awhile as well. Hope to be back soon. I was able to do 8 easy miles on Tuesday before I had to shut it down. I rested until Sunday (today)and then I was able to do 9 easy miles. I will have to take it day to day this coming week. As Charlie Steiner, one of the LA Dodger announcers, always says about players on the DL, "he is day to day, but then again aren't we all." Bruce

                                A few missed runs kept the mileage down a bit -- no complaints though...
