    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. Let me know if I missed you or got the number wrong.

    Total? 45.4 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."

              Placeholder while I figure out what I'm doing this week. I may not hit 40 miles this week. The big goal is a successful 20+ miler on Sunday. Monday: No running except in the pool... 45 minutes with 9-10 hard effort laps (lost count) Tuesday: 60 minutes pool running Wednesday: 10.6 miles on the treadmill, progressive pace run, 8:30 avg Thursday: 6.1 miles, tempo effort at 8:06 avg on rolling hills Friday: rest day, but chipped icy hardpack in the driveway Saturday: 9 hilly miles, 8:28 avg pace. Very nice sunny day Sunday: 21.1 miles, 8:28 avg pace Total: 46.9 miles

                      Thanks for the pass Holly, I'm gonna give this another go this week. And let me say this about last week. I've seen the posts of folks who have done 20 miles or more on the treadmill due to inclimate weather. Therefore my unsuccessful attempt at 40miles last week was not due to the weather, but my lack of desire to git er done. Hats off to all you folks out there that get it done no matter what! (insert smiley face tipping it's hat here) Mon....6miles.......6miles Tues...9miles......birthday party for niece...5 yo. Wed......6miles......9miles Thurs...rest..........rest Friday..6miles........6miles Sat.......rest............3miles Sun.......20miles....20miles Total...44 miles (this is a weekly PR for me)

                        Thanks Holly. Good luck with the race this weekend. This week I will be a little lower. I have a 10 mile race Saturday. I haven't raced since August so it will be good to get an idea of where my fitness level is.
