First, I added some notes to the bottom as to the plan's definitions of Short Strides, Long Strides, Hill Sprints, etc. I also corrected some spelling mistakes (nit-picky, I know...but I didn't like looking at the work aeorbic)
Most importantly, I shifted the schedule one day of the week. Originally, the schedule had runs on both Saturday and Sunday with a rest day on Monday. However, that doesn't work in my house - if I'm going to run on Saturday morning, I like to have my wife take Sunday morning. So, now my "long run" is on Saturday and my rest day is on Sunday. I was used to this schedule from my marathon training and I think it will do much better for "shalom bayit". It also makes sense since the race is on a Saturday - but that was a very weak reason to shift the schedule...I could always just move a few workouts around the week of the race to make things fall into place.
Since I gave blood on Monday, I did not run my scheduled workout today. I also didn't do a tempo run on Monday morning like the plan says (OK...I didn't realize I was going to follow this plan until yesterday - so give me a break!). I will get with the program starting tomorrow - either by running 3 days in a row or by running Thursday, Friday and then on Sunday, taking Saturday off. Either way, I'm not going to expect a stellar week given the blood donation and the lower mileage leading over the past two months due to the hammy injury.
