I am officially starting a new job in the beginning of August. My new gig is in New York City, which means I will be joining the throngs of New Jersey people heading into the city every day on NJ Transit. Not sure yet how this will effect marathon training - at the very least I will need to be getting up (ugh) a little bit earlier to fit in the morning stuff before hitting the train.
I have been going back and forth about whether to register for the Philadelphia Marathon or the Harrisburg Marathon. The new job thing kind of throws another wrench in the mix since I'm not sure how easy it's going to be to fit all of this stuff in. I have resigned myself to hold off on registering for Philly, since I don't want to register and then change plans since I did that last year because of an injury. Harrisburg is one of those rare marathons where you can actually still show up the morning of the race and register, so I am keeping that as my back pocket race after the Asbury Park Relay Marathon on October 18th.
Yikes, Asbury Park is less than 13 weeks away. I'm taking suggestions anybody has on a nice 12 week training plan. As it is, I have been holding steady on 40+ miles a week (give or take) with a speed workout or hill workouts sprinkled in. Any suggestions are welcome.

The Pfitz plan has a 12 week 55 miles plan,
I love the Philly marathon, its a great event!
Congrats on the new job! Hope it doesn't end up being too hard to deal with, commuter-wise. I'd miss you for Philly if you don't do it, but your reasoning makes a lot of sense.
The only thing that I did different when training for a relay race was to make sure you do some runs at might and try to fit in a few days were you run three times in the day and focus on what you're eating to know what can handle without having stomach issues.
Sounds to me like you are taking AP more as a race than a training run.
Good luck with the new gig!
You know what I'm going to say...register for Philly!!!
WOW - that's really great you're keeping up with 40+ weeks!
And CONGRATS on the new job :)
Congrats on getting the new gig! I can understand that you have a long commute and it will be harder to juggle with your training plan. I heard through the FB's vines that you have registered for the Philly. Congrats dude !!!
Good luck with the training !!! All I can say is continue with the 40+ miles per week.
Congrat!
Cant believe I had to read it on your blog, come on
