<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 once again, Dennis. I hope to have a PR distance long run this weekend, <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">but that might be canceled if we have to go Maryland to pick DS up from school.</span> Just heard he's got mono.... Picked up DS on Thursday, so Sunday's long run is a go.</p>
