Ready to start training after layoff

I took most of Decmber and January off after a getting  a bad cold and sinus infection in late November.  I think I may have been somewhat burned out from the previous season because I just couldn't get motivated to train which isn't like me. I am registered for the Disney half (5/14) and I feel sure I can do it but I am at a loss as to where to start training. The twelve week training plan would start next week with 13+ hours in the first week and I don't think I am up for that yet.

    Hit up the OS for 4-5 weeks, add some z1 (on the run, maybe 30-45 min)) and z3 (on the bike, maybe an extra 45-60 min) to the weekend workouts and you will be ready to jump into the HIM plan at 8 weeks out. Also, I would grab 2 swims/week, maybe one on Mon or Fri and the other on Wed...making sure to keep a day off (Mon would probably be best so you can recover from the weekend). You will be in great shape and ready to go!

    Or you can use the Basic Week to get ready as well. Just anything for a few weeks before the big push. Feel free to draft something up or post to the MACRO thread for feedback!!!!
