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
SubDood	57.7	Start of taper
MikeE	52	Delaware Marathon!
Alexander R	51.2	Recovery week
HermosaBoy	48.25	New Course Record – Sweet!
PFriese	38	OKC HM!
Holly S	Free Pass	Sick this week

Here is my tentative plan. I am hoping to return to health this week.

Day	Plan	Actual	Commentary
Monday	? miles	3 miles	Plus light weights/core
Tuesday	4-6 miles	4.6 miles	Easy pace
Wednesday	4-6 miles	4.8 miles	Easy pace
Thursday	4-6 miles	1 miles	Easy pace, plus stretching
Friday	0 miles	0 miles	500 yards swim, light weights and core
Saturday	0 miles	2.2 miles	Easy pace
Sunday	26.2 miles	26.2 miles	Flying Pig Marathon
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."

For the 2nd time in 2018, ran over 40 miles in a week - 41.6 this past week.

I am just running with no goals. The only standards I have set for myself is run 5-6 days per week, my minimum distance run being 6 miles. Also 1 long run >10 miles. I have no races planned at this time.
