10 Weeks to a 10K, who is in?

So I recently read this article in women's health about being ready to run a half marathon in 10 weeks. I thought that is  sure a short about of time to do be ready for a half marathon. So, I have decided to tweak the "plan" a bit and make it ready for me to run a 10 K in 10 weeks.

I've been running/walking/jogging for most of the summer on a pretty regular basis (give or take last week's absence b/c of a sore knee and being too lazy), but on a pretty regular basis.  So, starting Monday I will be following this vigorous plan in an attempt to be ready to run a 10K by approximately Oct 29th.  Anyone wana join me?

Now, I just need to find a 10K for me to run sometime this fall.  Suggestions anyone?

I'm excited for the next 10 weeks...hopefully I'll be sticking this schedule and amping up my running abilities and challenging my body in crazier ways than it has been in the last 10 years, and lots of new possible adventures for Benjamin and I!

Hope everyone has a good weekend! 

Here is the schedule from the article: CT - cross train. Do 30 mins any activity that elevates your HR, ie, biking, swimming, power walking or elliptical. TT - Time trial: warm up for one mile, running at a very easy pace, then time yourself at comfortably fast pace (not all out) for two miles. Note your time and try to beat it at your net TT. R & R Run - Rest and recovery run. Run 3 to 4 miles a an easy pace. Every 4th week will be for recovery, a rejuvenating time to scale back intensity.  INT - Intervals, 3.5 miles. Run one mile easy, then for the next two miles, alternate either one minute of harder effort with one minute of easy recovery jogging or two minuets of harder effort with one minute of jogging. Coll own with half a mile at an easy pace. T - Tempo runs, 3-4 miles.  get ready to pick up the pace (you can talk but not more than a few words at a time) for a portion of your workout. do one mile at your normal pace, then add the tempo somewhere in the middle. Finish at your normal pace.

**I'm gonna try the first week and see how I do, then tweak it as I need to. I am sure that I won't be able to run a full 5 miles by next sat, so I might put that at like 2 or 3 miles.  Any suggestions for running friends?
