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
HermosaBoy	76.8	Four doubles – sweet
SubDood	76.7	Week 9 of Pfitz plan
Alexander R	57.6	91 is still pretty darn hot
Pfriese	50.2	Wild West Relay!
Surly Bill	41	Welcome back!
C-R	40.1	Just made it
MikeE	38	Close enough
Holly S	Free Pass	Sorry, personal issues

Here is my tentative plan.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	4-6 miles	5.4 miles	Easy pace
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4.6 miles	Easy pace, plus weights and core in evening
Wednesday	4-6 miles	5 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4.6 miles	5.2 miles	Plus weights and core in evening
Friday	? miles	0 miles	Swimming - 1250 yards
Saturday	4-7 miles	7.1 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	12-15 miles	13 miles	Long run
Total		40.3 mile

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."

Thank you, Holly!

Tue 12.5 mi (2:03) Brooklyn bridge

Wed 9.1mi (1:27) East River

Thu 0

Fri 6.8mi (1:03) easy jog

Sat 31mi (8:02) 50k trail race

Sun 8.1mi (1:26) recovery jog

Total: 67.6 miles

On Tuesday I had a bit of extra time and decided to finally get on the Brooklyn bridge.

Big mistake. Just a huge endless tourist crowd, so I had to run on the bike lane, which was not

very safe. The views from the bridge were great however, and the air was refreshing.

On Saturday I did the "Wildcat Ridge Romp 50k" race in New Jersey. It was raining heavily

the entire time. But the rain did not bother me at all, if anything it was just pleasantly cooling.

The race was 100% on trails, with maybe a third of the distance more or less runnable,

a third definitely not runnable (rock scramble) and the rest was a mix. I'm trying to improve

my trail running skills, but without much luck so far. 26th out of 37 finishers
