It's amazing how fast you can lose the fitness that it took you months to build.
Anyway, I just read "Advanced Marathoning" by Pete Pfitzinger. I'm going to give his training plan a try with next year's marathons. He has you doing a lot of VO2 max and tempo kind of stuff. Luckily I've got a couple of months to build my endurance back up before I would need to start into that.

5 miles is a long run for the first time back from a stress fracture. I'm trying to remember - was it your foot or lower leg? How did it feel?
Pfitzinger's approach sounds interesting. Can you post a little more on it when you get a chance?
