* the Westfield Turkey Trot have a 4m scheduled on Sat Nov 10th (this is from http://www.practicehard.com/EventView.asp?eid=957 : Meet at 9 a.m. for a full 5 Mile Run along the Turkey Trot course at 9:30 a.m. See www.WestfieldTurkeyTrot.com for details and to R.S.V.P. to join us - NO fee!)
The numbers are minutes of walk/jog, jog, or run at a pace that will allow you to have a conversation (see why I want you to have a buddy? ;-).
The X means that if you have been racing during the summer, you should do some kind of cross-training exercises, such as swimming, biking, elliptical machine, etc. If you are a complete beginner, you can take those (X) days off.
If you do strength training (ST) exercises and you just started running, do the ST exercises on non-running days.

Happy training and see you next Sunday, Nov 11
