Looking back, looking ahead W22/W21


This week's review post is a little early because I'm going to be traveling. Hopefully I won't jinx myself by assuming now that I will successfully complete the group run tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the end of Week 22, and Sunday marks exactly 21 weeks until race day.

What was I was supposed to do in Week 22? Did I do it?
  • Sunday: 3 miles YES!
  • Monday: strength training YES!
  • Tuesday: 2 miles YES!
  • Wednesday: 2 miles YES!
  • Thursday: 2 miles YES!
  • Friday: strength training YES!
  • Saturday: 3 miles YES, hopefully!
Yay, I love all that green! All I have to do is make it through the group run and I will be batting .1000 this week. It was hard on me, though, even though the mileage is still low. I've never run three days in a row before.

Here's what I'm supposed to do in Week 21:
  • Sunday: 3 miles
  • Monday: strength training
  • Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday: 2 miles each day
  • Friday: strength training
  • Saturday: 3 miles
There is no group run next week because of the holiday. I hope I can still stay on track. I definitely enjoy the social aspect of Team in Training.

Things went very well this week on the fundraising front, although I found out that the "anonymous donor" I thought I had was not so anonymous--it was me! I had to pay a 50.00 registration fee when I signed up for Team in Training, and that money was credited to my fundraising account. There was actually some sort of glitch and it was credited twice, so my fundraising meter is wrong. It is 50.00 higher than it should be. I'll have to contact the office to get that fixed. I had a number of "dog people" and work colleagues contribute this week, and several people also wrote me wonderful comments, which I really appreciated. Thank you so much for your support, Caroline, Chris, Neil, Eva, Carmen, Ruth, Rina, Melissa, Angela (a fellow TnTer!), and Jess. You are all fantastic! I will hustle on your behalf this coming week to make sure I can fill in all "YES!" answers in my next weekly wrap-up post!
