Week 3 of Half Marathon Training

I am a little late in this update.  My second week of half marathon training was AWESOME!  I got all my running in (3 runs) and 2 rounds of weight training.  That was all during the week of Christmas and Christmas Eve, so I was very happy.  Then came the third week.  I had my whole week figured out and then I got a head cold!  Ugh!  I still managed to make it work, though.  The week should of looked like this:

Monday, 12/31/12 - 4 mile run
Tuesday, 1/1/13 - Rest
Wednesday, 1/2/13 - Weight Training
Thursday, 1/3/13 - 3 mile run
Friday, 1/4/13 - Weight Training
Saturday, 1/5/13 - Rest or Fun Workout (Zumba)
Sunday, 1/6/13 - Long Run (total of 5 miles)

Instead the week turned into this:

Monday, 12/31/12 - Weight Training
Tuesday, 1/1/13 - Rest
Wednesday, 1/2/13 - Weight Training
Thursday, 1/3/13 - No Workout
Friday, 1/4/13 - No Workout
Saturday, 1/5/13 - 4 mile run
Sunday, 1/6/13 - 5 mile run

It wasn't a total wash, but I am happy to move into a new week.  Work starts back up this week for me which means more of a routine for me and my family.  I actually think this will help my training stay on track.  We'll see.  Here is what I'm expecting to do this week:

Week 4 of Half Marathon Training
Monday, 1/7/13 - Rest
Tuesday, 1/8/13 - Hill Training (total of 3 miles)
Wednesday, 1/9/13 - Weight Training
Thursday, 1/10/13 - 3 mile run
Friday, 1/11/13 - Weight Training
Saturday, 1/12/13 - Rest or Fun Workout (Zumba)
Sunday, 1/13/13 - Long Run (total of 6 miles)
