Maybe someday I'll have something noteworthy to post in this section. I have only completed three 5ks and a 5 miler; all at an average pace somewhere in the 9:00-9:30min/mile range
Painter's Half 2010 - 2:03:54
Short-Term Running Goals:
Painter's Half Marathon - would like to keep an average pace of 9:00min/mile.
Painter's Half - Went over my goal and finished in 2:03:54 :( It was my first half though. I had a great time and learned what I need to work on.
Salt Lake Half Marathon - would like to finish in under 2 hours.
Long-Term Running Goals:
Would like to complete a full marathon in the fall of 2010 and finally conquer the Herriman Hill...to be honest, there are several hills in Herriman I'd love to conquer, but that one for sure!
Personal:
I am a stay-at-home mother, married and have two young boys.
2.5 miles tonight on the TM, AP 9:30. P90X "Chest and Back".
Question...if I feel like I can run more than my training schedule tells me to, should I? Thanks!
Asics Gel - Green Miles: 2.50
Night Sleep Time: 7.00
Nap Time: 0.00
Total Sleep Time: 7.00

I think in general you should use your training plan as a guideline rather than a strict rule. So you have the flexibility to add miles here or decrease miles there depending on how you're feeling.
Just make sure you are smart about it and don't bump up your miles or intensity by too much or too quickly.

If you feel good, then go ahead and increase it. But slowly. However, your mileage is low enough that you can do increases better than the 10% rule- if you only increase 10 mpw, it would take a while to get anywhere. I would start with maybe 4 miles/day, at least 5 days a week. Don't be afraid to back off if you get super sore.
