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	80.3	Big week!
Alexander R	80.1	Vermont 100k – well done!
HermosaBoy	75.28	How did the 5k go?
PFriese	42.1	Getting it done on vacation
MikeE	42	He’s back!
Holly S	40	On the nose

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	0 miles	Rest day
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5.1 miles	Easy pace, plus weights and core in evening
Wednesday	4-6 miles	0 miles	Slept in
Thursday	4.6 miles	4.3 miles	Plus weights and core in evening
Friday	? miles	7.1 miles	Swimming?
Saturday	12-15 miles	6 miles	Long run
Sunday	5-7 miles	13 miles	Recovery pace
Total		40.6 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."
