Still here....

Wow! It's been a few minutes since my last post.  Have you missed me?  How was everybody's holidays?  I sure hope that it was a fun filled blessed one.  
Not much was done over the holidays run wise.  I did a few things here and there but nothing to write about.  I am on a schedule now and I'm going to start looking for some local 5k's and would love to do a 10k this spring.  So I have set my training plan according to some of those.  I am following a schedule in the Run Less Run Faster book.  I have followed their plans before and love the fact of running only 3 days a week and doing a lot of cross training the other days.  I have scheduled my workouts so that I have Sundays off but if I'm wanting to do a little extra something I do a walk or light elliptical.  
I have signed up for the Air Force Half Marathon that is scheduled in September.  I am excited for this and want to beat my time from this past year.  Should be able to since my foot has been doing a lot better.  
With only having the 3 days of running a week, that should also help to keep my foot feeling good.  I don't want to ever have to go through something like that again.  I'm thankful that I was able to still train and do my half last year but it was rough!! I know I can do better too.  My running schedule will be like this:
Mondays:  Speed work
Tuesdays:  Turbofire and light elliptical
Wednesdays:  Temp
Thursdays:  Turbofire and light elliptical with some legs
Fridays:  Turborfire
Saturdays:  Long run
Sundays:  Rest
This schedule is good for me and hopefully will help me get my runs back up there and to stay healthy.  

How was your holidays and are you back on a routine/schedule?

Have you signed up for any Spring 5k's or 10k's?
