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
SubDood	53.5	Taper time
Pfriese	32.3	Close enough
Lisa11	31	Taper time
Alexander	26.7	Recovery week
Opie	Free Pass	Hope that hip clears up
MikeE	Free Pass	Recovery week

Doc says it’s not SF, but anterior tibialis tendon. Will see a PT on the 30^th. Doc said I could try some easy miles.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	4.2 miles	Easy pace
Tuesday	? miles	0 miles	Swimming (1100 yards)
Wednesday	? miles	4.2 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	0 miles		Driving dad to Cleveland Clinic
Friday	? miles		?
Saturday	? miles		?
Sunday	? miles		?
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."

Will need a free pass this week. Yesterday I walked at lunch & today I'll hit the pool after work. If the deep water area is available, I'll do pool running.

Mon-Fri run were on treadmill,

measuring pace/distance with Stryd footpod.

Treadmill consistently shows ~30 second/mile

faster pace, but I'm going with the footpod,

since it is supposed to be very accurate.
