Setting my training plan free

I'm currently training for the Country Music 1/2 marathon. Today was my first "long" run in three weeks. I decided to ditch the training schedule included with the entry fee. What's with all these complicated training schedules? It use to be so simple before every overweight person with legs decided to jump on the running bandwagon. Now training schedules must accommodate every jane running. Its not that I don't find it fabulous that so many people are falling in love with my first love its just that it was mine. My real complaint is that these complicated training schedules make me feel guilty for missing a workout. This led to the decision to follow my own training program for this 1/2. MY program only requires three days of running: one speed day, one easy day and one long run. Okay so I confess, I'm not one for discipline or structure so I had to come up with the easiest possible way to create a plan I might actually follow. How many times have I convinced myself that I could follow a training plan through to completion and failed? I don't know the answer to that, but no thank you active.com. Not this time. I don't need your free training plan.

Here is the real truth I want to PR. Ten weeks will reveal everything. :)
