Is the plan of 80-90mpw too much for me at this point in my running career? It might destroy me.  I survived the 80mpw for a season but that was also extremely aggressive. Its man vs. reason.

Still on surgery rotation so next two days I work 5am-5pm so I'll only get one run in.  Today I had my oral exam so we got the day off besides that.   But it works out because this week I want to shoot for 70-75 as a good transition week.  I already feel fatigued and am a little bit sore.

9.2 including 5 miles in 29:45 at the red rooster ramble.  I am very happy that I broke 30.  It was a bit hard for a tempo, especially the last mile.  I would put my true tempo pace for 5 miles at 30:00 to 30:15 right now.  But given that I am 15lb heavier than I was in the spring and coming off 40-50mpw vs 80mpw I am very happy with the time.  I just need to focus on losing weight and getting the mileage in.  Speed is not the issue.  The first mile was 5:38 and felt easy.  I just need the 5th, and the 13th when it comes to the half marathon to feel just as easy at a good pace.
