Looking back, looking ahead W13/W12

Welcome to the Amazing Fundraiser Edition of (the amazingly late) Looking Back, Looking Ahead!

The wonderful Virgil and Rebecca of PawPrintsLife had such good sales this weekend that they donated $75.00, bringing the total money raised this weekend up to $1,688.19! Thank you to everyone who bought some of their outstanding action photographs (I got some terrific shots myself!). This brings my total fundraising for the season up to an amazing $3,503.69! That's over $3500 to help find the next new drug or help the next patient who can't afford his medication co-pays, all thanks to the wonderful people who have been steadily donating since December! Thank you so very much!

What was I was supposed to do in Week 13? Did I do it?
  • Sunday: 3 miles OR cross-train (Pilates) OR REST, depending on how I feel YES, I actually ran 3.27 miles after coming home from the dog show!
  • Monday: CROSS-TRAIN OR run 3 miles OR REST YES! I did Pilates
  • Tuesday: 3 miles YES, but I "ran" the three miles on the elliptical, so that's more like cross-training
  • Wednesday: CROSS-TRAIN YES! Pilates class with Kim
  • Thursday: 4 miles YES! Ran outside
  • Friday: 6 miles YES!! *fist pump*
  • Saturday: REST (YES, but again, not very restful!)
Is it cheating to give myself all those options and then fill it in in green? I still covered 16.27 miles last week, so that ain't bad. And the six-mile run went well, but I am going to have to start looking at gel options and sports drinks, 'cause I think I was just about at my limit of what water could do for me.

Here's the schedule for Week 12. No show this weekend, thank goodness! That makes things a little simpler!
  • Sunday: 3 miles NOPE (too busy with fundraiser, too little sleep, felt like I'd been beaten with a tire iron)
  • Monday: REST YES! (LOL!)
  • Tuesday: 3 miles
  • Wednesday: CROSS-TRAIN
  • Thursday: 4 miles
  • Friday: CROSS-TRAIN
  • Saturday: 6 miles (or I could do 4, and do 6 on Sunday at the Group Run)
Okay, time to hit the hay and get some rest! Thanks again to everyone who made this weekend so amazing!

    Gatorade is your friend. I bought a canister of it and mixed it up myself in my water bottle so it wasn't too sweet. The Clif Shot Bloks and Jelly Belly Sports Beans are really good.myself You can buy them at Vertical Runner in Hudson.

    Any particular flavor of Gatorade? And thanks so much for the tips on the shot bloks and sports beans--that is exactly the kind of information I was looking for!!
