10k training

So as I've posted already, I'm signed up for Run the Bridge in November.  Yesterdays run got me excited about running again so I looked up a 10k training program.  The most I've run has been 5 miles, and that was just a fluke of a day.  I've heard great things about Hal Higdon programs and it seems to work with my schedule so it's what I'm going to go with starting this coming Monday.  I may have to switch some days around though if Sunday mornings get to be too tight with getting the clan ready for church.
