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	58.6	Staten Island HM
MikeE	56	Still having fun with the CC team
Lisa11	55	Nice 20 miler
SubDood	50.8	Hope the marathon went well
Opie	45	Congrats on the 1400 miles
Pfriese	44.5	Congrats on the 2000 miles

Here is my tentative plan. Hoping this foot pain clears up.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	0 miles	Light weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5.15 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-6 miles	5.1 miles	Easy pace
Friday	15-17 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Saturday	4-6 miles	13.05 miles	Long run
Sunday	5-7 miles	5.6 miles	Recovery pace
Total		33.9 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."

Not the race I trained for, but really happy with gutting it out after deciding to drop out at mile 12 ... and miles 14, 15, 16, 18, and 22.

Hi Holly.

Week 16 of Hanson's training for the NYC Marathon. Last week's travel messed up my training plan a bit. SO, there will be some spillover effect as I try to get back on plan.

Tuesday	16 miles	16 miles	long run make-up
Wednesday	6 miles	6.2 miles	easy
Thursday	11 miles	11 miles	strength

Saturday	13 miles	13.1 miles	with 10 miles at MP
Sunday	10 miles	10 miles	easy
