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
IBleedUnionBlue	74.5	Peak week, time for taper
Alexander	73	Still recovering
Tramps	67.2	14 MP – nice run!
Slo_Hand	53.6	Lots of sucky miles….
Opie	52.3	St George Marathon PR!
Mike E	52	Helping the CC team
C-R	49	Getting healthy again
Holly	Free Pass	Recovery week

Here’s my tentative plan for the week, for now.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	0-3 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	5.4 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-6 miles	5.6miles	Easy pace
Friday	0-3 miles	0 miles	Weights and core
Saturday	17-20 miles	19.2 miles	Blair Witch Trail Race 17 miler plus
Sunday	6-8 miles	6.5 miles	Recovery pace
Total		41.7 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."

I'm in. Ran 49 last week so probably about the same this week.

MTA: Yeah right! Swing and a miss. 34.8. Big soccer tournament this weekend 6 games played by kids (either watching or coaching) and I officiated 6 games. I barely got any run time. Now if I counted the running when I officiated, I may have managed 40. 1 mile per game is about right. Lots of sprint though.

I should be able to get in 40 this week. Last week, I had 34. My plan is to rest one day (yesterday), run 6 miles on 5 days, and 10 miles on Saturday (including 5K and 10K races).

40 miles done. 1AG in both races, which totalled 1200 runners. Smile

Mon 10 mi (1:20) treadmill
Tue 10.2 mi (1:29)
Wed 8 mi (1:01) treadmill
Thu 11 mi (1:26) treadmill
Fri 10.2 mi (1:16)
Sat 0
Sun 13.1 mi (1:24) Staten Island half

Total: 62 miles ( 7 hrs 56 min)

started a bit too fast, going through 10k in 38:40, then sort of held on,
and raced hard again in the last couple of miles, passed some people
just before the finish line. 1st woman passed me around 11 mile mark,
she was flying. ran in SIAC singlet, got a lot of support from the
crowd and other runners. Mary Wittenberg congratulated me after the finish,
that's a first for me.
