I was planning on using March 1 as a kick off date to get back on a program. My February, mileage wise, was a mirror image of last year. But that's ok, it's a new month and the plan is forward looking, not backward looking.

I decided to use a less strenuous program until I could get back in to the groove of things running wise and until things at work calmed down a bit. So, on March 1, I got out for a 4 mile run and had planned for a 6 mile run on Thursday, March 2. Thursday's run didn't happen. Then, on Saturday when I had planned to run 15 I only ran 4, thinking I would run 15 on Sunday. It was such a pretty day that Kathy and I ended up working in the yard all afternoon, so the Sunday run didn't happen either.

This week (week of 03-06-06), I was determined to get back on track. I got out for a 5 mile run Tuesday, a 4 mile run Wednesday, and a 5 mile run Thursday. My plan is to try for 15 this Saturday and 5-6 on Sunday.

If I can do this and keep going on schedule I think I will be fine for Green Bay. I think it is 10 weeks away so I should be fine. I am going to use the training and the race at Green Bay to build endurance and be ready to go back with the Pfitzinger plan for a fall race that will be my goal race.
