SW, no offense taken; it was a legitimate question to ask.
As for a plan, no meetings. I'm going the SR and AVRT route. As is well known, I've not been perfect, but I'm much better than I was and still striving.
Thanks about the race. It's an odd distance for a race and the first ten miler I've ever done. I've done double digits amounts of both marathons and half marathons so ordinarily this distance wouldn't be too hard, but my asthma has really curtailed my training ability and has caused me to only sign up for one other race this year, a half marathon in the fall. Depending upon how my breathing is I have some fall marathons I'm eyeing.
The egg experiment was a disappointment. I'll write about it in the Recipe thread that we're both involved with. Thanks for asking about the outcome as well as what my plan is and for the good wishes for next weekend's race.
