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
Mike E	80	Wow!
SubDood	60.9	Nice race simulation LR
Hermosaboy	60	Pouring rain – not my favorite
DennisLey	50.8	Glass City HM
Pfriese	50.6	OKC Marathon
Alexander R	49	BQ at Boston Marathon!
Mdolley	41	Welcome!
Holly S	40.3	5.462K race

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4.4 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	6 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	0-3 miles	5.2 miles	Easy pace
Friday	5-7 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Saturday	20 miles	5.8 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	20 miles	20.3 miles	Long run
Total		41.7 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."
