Training Schedule

I pretty much surfed the web for a marathon training schedule that would work for me. Criterion: tenderfoot appropriate, shorter runs during the week, not too many weeks out. I somewhat arbitrarily those Hal Higdon's: Novice I schedule.

Three short run days in a row in the middle of the week, rest day, long run and cross-training on the weekend, rest day--then repeat.

DC in the summer, all of those runs are in the morning if I can, which is taking some getting used to. It actually syncs up pretty well with my lifestyle.

Next challenge: training during San Francisco vacation, is wine tasting cross-training?
