68F, 87%. 2 full days off to start my "reset week." 8:42 AP today.

After this week I'll be back up to speed with most weeks 65-70 miles until Houston. I'm keeping the long runs (with MP) and medium-long runs from the pfitz plan, and simply throwing in workouts when I most feel like it, but only once a week. Mostly tempos and maybe some 800s when I'm feeling really ambitious. This will be a small step up from Oklahoma training this spring. Small steps is the way to go I think.

Glad you took a couple days rest! Your plan sounds good ... but I think you have already taken a big step towards Houston, over where you were this past May! Stay healthy & keep running so strong!

Joe, why the change in training plans? I thought you were committed to Pfitz.

Thanks JG.

DH - I can't ever stay committed to anything...it's a miracle that I've managed to stick to running itself for 2 solid years! But actually I am keeping a lot of the pfitz plan intact, just keeping the weekly mileage down where I want it, and keeping my workout options open so I'm not tied to the schedule.
