40x40 Thread - Week Ending 7/25/10

This is the 40x40 thread for those who run at least 40 miles per week and are over 40. This is a great motivational thread and free passes are given out generously. If you do run a race and post a RR, I'll try to link it in here.

Waiting Update:

I hope to be back next week -- Coach says I have to limit it to 35 miles.

Thanks Dennis.

Thanks Dennis,

This week still finds me in Japan, but will be flying home on Friday.  Taper week for next week's marathon in Juneau.

Mon:  7 miles - 8 miles aerobic paced, very H&H

Tues:  4 miles - 5 miles recovery

Wed:  8 miles - 11 miles aerobic paced, H&H, by the end my feet felt like I was running in pools for shoes 

Thurs:  5 miles - 6 miles very sweaty recovery paced.

Fri:  5 miles (fly home to WA) - 5.0 miles, easy, legs very tired from the flight

Sat:  13 miles - 6.5 miles including some @ 7:30 pace.  turnover felt slow. 

Sun:  6 miles - 14.0 miles very nice run in the cooler temps of WA (78 degrees vice 85) and lower humidity (55% vice 90%) very enjoyable and a little faster paced up and down rolling hills.

total: 55.5 miles 

42.5 m.
