A quiet race schedule for 2011 has just gotten pretty serious. I've added the Columbus Half Marathon to my upcoming races. The C-Bus half is in mid-October and I'll be running with Donny & Peter in a reunion race - we ran a 4-miler back in 2009 together. Peter lives in Ohio, Donny in NYC and we have talked about finding a good race to run together again for a while.
I've found a 12-week Half Marathon Training Plan that will begin this Sunday and lead into the Philadelphia Rock & Roll Half on September 18th. The plan consists of three runs per week - pretty much like I have always done. I'm going to keep hill sprints and/or track workouts in my own schedule 1-2 more days per week as pure gravy - I'm not counting on those two days as necessary components of my 12-week plan but the more of those I do, the better I'll be come September.
After the Philly Half I'll have four weeks to recover and run some sort of maintenance plan before the Columbus Half on October 16th. Then it is about four more weeks of recovery and maintenance until the Tough Mudder in NJ on November 12th.

Are you going to add in some 5K's to work on speed and see the turn-over your hill work has created? Milltown is a few weeks away
I may - and I'm trying to get over to HPHS for a few Thursday sessions. I may do the RVRR summer series races in July and pick up one more 5K in August.
