I've got my first half-marathon scheduled for the end of Feb, 2020, so I'm pretty inexperienced in all of this... but!
I did well over Thanksgiving. Over the course of the Monday-Sunday week, I ran three 5ks and my longer 8 mile Saturday run.
Ultimately it came down to: 1) not drinking too much wine and beer and 2) making some kinda effort to squeeze the runs in whenever and however, and not necessarily worrying about which days are the *scheduled* days.
I figure it's going to get hairy in December and I'm willing to be flexible. Also, though, my run isn't until February so I feel like I have plenty of post-holiday recovery time.
That is awesome, Stephanie -- #1 is always a challenge in December. 😊 I think you're right about not getting too stressed about sticking exactly to schedule all the time, as long as you get it in. Good luck at your February half!
