gots me a plan

SO last year I did 90 days of Peak Condition Project, then 90 days of Kung-Fu Body, and recently 6 weeks of Chisel. In between, I did some rebounding, but basically got healthier than I have ever been.
  

The main thing I learned is that I do really well when I have a plan, a program to follow. Otherwise I just make stupid choices.
So, now I will try my own plan. The goal: finish the FIT For Charity 10k run in 50 minutes. Barefoot.
I will give myself 5 weeks, starting Monday Oct 26.
Until then I will spend a week in Bakersfield, CA, swinging swords and binging on burritos and froyo, and generally being not healthy.

I have been running off and on since PCP, so I'm not really an expert. I figure I will start the first week running at a 10k/hr pace (i.e. 10k will take 60 minutes) and then bring the speed up every week for five weeks until I am at a 12k/hr pace (i.e. 10k will take 50 minutes).
So the first week I will set my handy watch to a 6min/k pace, increasing the pace by 30 seconds every week for five weeks until I get to a 5min/k pace...
Sounds simple, but keeping up a 12k/h pace for 50 minutes, barefoot, will be a serious stretch for me.
Fastest 10k I ever did was 53 minutes, with shoes...but that was last year, when I wasn't really training.

I will try to run 4 times a week, maybe Mondays and Wednesdays barefoot 3-5k just to build up the bottoms of my feet to the leather necessary to handle 10k of city running. Tuesdays and Thursdays I'll do 5-7k with shoes, and on Saturday I'll go for a big 10-15k run, mainly with shoes.
Probably have to try it and see how it goes; not sure how much recovery time I'll need after barefoot running. Maybe I should take a day off after barefoot running, so I could do Monday barefoot, Tuesday  off, Wednesday shod, Thursday barefoot, Friday off, Saturday shod big run, Sunday off...hmm...
