Today marks a week since I started the training program for the half-marathon. 

This past week I did not do so well with training…  I was worn out and battling allergies.  I did better at getting the things I need together for running.  I got a water belt and a holder for my iPhone.  I also found some new running shorts (that fit).  

Today also marks the start of a break from the trainer (at the gym), for about two weeks.  This is mainly due to our schedules conflicting but I think it will be a good test for me.  He has provided me with a weight-training schedule, so I got to do is go to the gym and follow it.  I am hoping that this break will allow me to see how I can marry a running schedule with a weight-training schedule.

My goal for this week is to just train.  I have a lot going on for the next couple of weeks, so my challenge is going to be to find balance.
