I will probably try out a SmartCoach plan. I am usually not a fan of Runner's World's SmartCoach, but I plugged in my data and the plan seems reasonable.
Week 1 (out of 35!), 5 runs:
Tempo Run: 6 miles, including 4 miles @ 7:02
Long Run: 13 miles (wow)
Easy Runs: 3 + 2 + 2 miles.
Easy and long runs @ 8:22.

A fell off the wagon again. I haven't run since coming back from SC on August 7th. That's 3 weeks. Explanation: I tried to do too much, too fast, it was too hot, and I had too much to do. I should have kept it more casual and relaxed, and I shouldn't have tried to squeeze in a serious fall race. With my summer schedule, I see it was almost hopeless.
The 10K plans are out of the window now. I also have to restart base building. I have had some knee issues just before I quit my plan, so I also should be more careful with fast buildup. Starting at 30 miles should be OK, but I'll follow a 10% rule, or even slower.
The goal is the Kentucky Derby Half Marathon on April 28. I have 35 weeks if I'm not mistaken. It would also be nice to run some 10Ks during preparation, though spectacular times are not expected.
