I think today because my legs still aren't fully under me again I will run an out and back six miler, with the back being about a minute faster. I like those sort of workouts to work on my pacing. To me it is very important to be able to know about what mile time you are running at any given time. It will help you immensely in races, know your body, it is essential especially in races over 5k.
In regards to nutrition, the main thing I try to focus on is self control and not putting too much crap in my stomach. Yes, allow yourself desert or some junk food every now and then, but make it a treat. If you never eat the stuff, then someday you might give into a craving and the train may fall of the tracks because you've denied yourself for so long. I don't eat amazingly healthy, like all organic stuff or by making myself intricate meals, I just make sure I get a generally well balanced meal as often as possible. In general just avoid the stuff you know is bad, don't calorie count, just stop eating when you are full, not stuffed.

Nutrition is always the hard part for me. I have the "I'm a runner...it doesn't matter what I eat" mentality coupled with the "eat healthy" mentality. The "eat healthy" one ususally wins out...usually...lol. It's a balancing act, but it sounds like you have a good handle on things:)
