<p>Morning all.  I had a good run in the park.  A bit of a chill with mist rising over the lake. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I stated late yesterday I was happy to find Hal Higdon's 10k plan to give me scheduling ideas for my workouts.  It gave me some good ideas to bring all my workouts together in a weekly plan.  I'm excited to have two days devoted to my bike.  I like my new bike and really wanted to actually use the thing rofl.  His plan is a good one, spread out over six days and incorporating running, cross training, cycling and stretching (will substitute pilates).  Last night I wrote out on my April calendar the full months worth of exercising culminating with the 10k at the very end of the month.</p>

My week is insane!  It should look like this:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>M:  rest</p>
<p>T:  11 easy (done)</p>
<p>W: 12 with 4x1200m intervals (ouch - done)</p>
<p>R:  6 recovery (done)</p>
<p>F: 15 easy</p>
<p>Sa: 6 recovery</p>
<p>Sun: 21</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am actually going to try to fit 4 recovery miles in tonight before GOTR if I can work it.  That will get me to 75 miles for the week - I place I have never been before.  Wish me luck!  I need it!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good luck ramping back up.  I think you are smart to take it easy given how aggressive the schedule is. <br>

Woot!  I'm in the same boat as you.  I'm feeling really strong and think that my training has hit a new level.  Last week was 66.2 miles for me and that is clost to a mileage PR.  I'm at 260 for the month and that's a mileage PR.  Our weeks are similiar too:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>m - rest</p>
<p>tues - 7.5 miles w 5 x 1200m (at 6:30 pace or better)</p>
<p>wed - 13.1 easy</p>
<p>today:  16 easy (this will be my long run for the week)</p>
<p>f - 5 ez</p>
<p>s - 3 -4 ez</p>
<p>sun - race HM + warm up/cool down.  Shooting for sub 1:34.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then just one more monster week and it's taper time for Flying Pig.  I hope we get good weather. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>RIL - you're gonna knock it out of the park.  I'm excited for your race. </p>
<p> </p>
