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 R	71.9	Central Park running
Hermosaboy	69.95	Doubles and more doubles
DennisLey	55	1^st AG in 5K
Opie	41.3	Back this week
Pfriese	40.9	Light at the end of the Tunnel Marathon!
Holly S	Free Pass	Still dealing with hamstring

Here is my tentative plan. Still no running allowed but will try to do some walking and weights.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0 miles	0 miles	Light weights and core
Tuesday	? miles		?
Wednesday	? miles		?
Thursday	? miles		?
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."

Thanks Holly!!!

Race week for me...

DAY	PLAN	ACTUAL	COMMENTS
Monday	8	2 8	2 Easy AM Includes 1 mile @ Marathon pace and 8x1:00 @ 5k pace with 1:30 recovery
Tuesday	7	7	Easy
Wednesday	7	7	5 with Mrs. Hermosaboy and 2 on my own.
Thursday	6	6	Inlcudes some 30 second intervals to get some snap in the legs.
Friday	5	5	Shake out
Saturday	15.1	14.9	Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon in 1:18:49. A little error in strategy ended up costing me the AG win and a shot at a lifetime PR. Other than that, a good race in HOT and HUMID conditions.
Sunday	2	2	Easy
TOTAL	50	51.94

Hope that hamstring heals fast! I'll need a free pass this week because of travel to & from the relay. Think I'll end up with about 30 miles for the week.
