Found this and freaking love it.

It's actually extremely similar to what I've been doing:

This training
program has produced good results with Key Run #1 run on Tuesday, Key Run #2 run on Thursday and the long run completed on the weekend. Runners can do the three key workouts in any order throughout the week; however, you need to allow at least one day between the key workouts. Runners are encouraged to either cross-train or complete easy runs on other days of the week.

The two weekday key runs are Tempo and Intervals, exactly what I've been doing on Tue/Thu. Basically it looks like this plan has you running faster than McMillan, but less frequently. I was already thinking rest and recovery runs for the 21st-27th, then getting back to it starting the week of the 28th. There would be 12 weeks to go until the Charleston Marathon at that point, and the workouts for 12 weeks out on the FIRST plan really look like a perfect fit for where I am right now anyway. I want to chew on it a bit, but this is seeming like a "go" right now...
