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. Folks out recovering.

Who	Miles	Commentary
Alexander	50.9	Lots of TM
Lisa11	47.2	How did it go? Make your goal?
Pfriese	40.7	Start training for A2A
Opie	Free Pass	Swimming recovery

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	4 miles	Easy pace
Tuesday	? miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	? miles	3 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	? miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Friday	? miles	8.4 miles	LR
Saturday	? miles	0 miles	Light weights and core
Sunday	? miles	7 miles	Easy pace
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."
