Hi all,
I am re-entering the world of running after a 1 year layoff, I had some health issues crop up (insulin resistance, hashimoto's disease) which are now being addressed and I am starting to feel so much better. I had the bad experience running the JFK 50 last year and dropping out after 30 miles, my ego struggled with that and instead of steadily keeping up with running, I just dropped it pretty much altogether. A couple of 5k's, a few weeks of 2-4 mile jaunts thrown in here and there, but pretty much gave up. I started running again 3 weeks ago and I have almost 30 miles in for this week, and I am contemplating registering for a March 9th marathon (very flat one, but reputed to be windy) my husband thinks I am overdoing it. When I trained for marathons in the past it was not unusual for me to put in between 60-80 miles a week. I have had shin splints and plantar fascitis in the past and I know how the onset feels. I am 15 pounds heavier than I was, but already my body composition is changing after 3 weeks, and I feel pretty strong and motivated. I never used to consistantly run hills and rough terrain, and since my that's all my husband does, I am having him take me on some runs to get better at it. OK sorry that was so long, here's how this week went for running:

Sunday-6m
Monday-2m uphill am, 4m pm flat
Tuesday- 4m hilly trail
Wednesday-6m
Thursday-rest
Friday-4m
Saturday-4m

I am planning a rest day tomorrow, then a long run on Monday of 8m. I'll keep my mileage at 30, but changing the distribution of the mileage. I am also looking for some shorter distance trail races to run--not having much luck this time of year. For marathon training I kind of loosely follow the Higdon program. Any insight or suggestions to tweak my program?

Thanks!
