I'm trying to plan my plan so that I will finish one long race healthy this year and be able to get over the DNF/DNS hurdle.

My goal is to run 5 miles on Monday thru Thursday, 3 miles on Friday, then 7 miles on Saturday for a total of 30 miles this week.  Lots of stretching and rolling.  Think I will try and get to the chiropractor once this week and next to make sure my body is where I want it to be.

Somebody smack me around if I do too much cardio this week, please!?!

Sounds like a doable plan. How does your body response to running 6 days a week? Be sure to get plenty of sleep the next 13 days. GOOD LUCK. I'm trying to figure out how much to run as well.

Smooth - when it is not injured and I am not doing 2 long runs in the same week it handles it fine. None of them (well - maybe 1) will be fast or hard. Just maintaining until I get through UVM. How is your recovery going?

OK, you know how to listen to your body. No set-back so you can get to the start line healthy.

Recovery is the real key. I kept my mileage really low the last two weeks being out of town. So far so good. I might run the Art City 5K this Sat. as speed work and taper down after that. Getting thru UVM is what I'm trying to do too. That course can really hammer our legs with that 10 mile concrete hwy.
