<p>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.</p>

<p>Thanks Dennis,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This week will be a day to day schedule as my left knee dictates. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mon: <em><strong>5.0 miles easy, no issues with my knee, iced afterwards.  keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow.</strong></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tues:<em><strong>  7.0 miles easy, knee feeling good so far.  iceing continues.</strong></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wed: <em><strong>5.0 miles at an aerobic pace, so a little faster but less miles to stretch out the knee some.  very slight discomfort while stretching after the run but nothing during the run.  iced..</strong></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thurs:  <em><strong>10.0 miles with 6.5 miles @ 8:00 pace, nice and steady.  left knee the same.  continue to ice after runs.<span style="display:none;"> </span></strong></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fri:<em><strong>  7.0 miles @ a nice aerobic pace</strong></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sat:  <em><strong>8.0 miles recovery run</strong></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sun:  <em><strong>14.0 miles with 6.0 miles @ MP,  i think my knee is back to normal.  actually it was my calf muscle that was causing the problem.  finally got it to release and all is well again.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Total:  56 miles<span style="display:none;"> </span></strong></em></p>
