Looking back, looking ahead W14/W13

Today is the end of Week 14, and tomorrow, Valentine's Day, is exactly 13 weeks until race day. (AAAAGGHH!)

What was I was supposed to do in Week 14? Did I do it?

• Sunday: 3 miles (I did 4.5, yay!)
• Monday: CROSS-TRAIN YES!
• Tuesday: 3 miles YES!
• Wednesday: CROSS-TRAIN for 30 minutes NOPE (class was snowed out and I was too stinkin' lazy to do the Pilates DVD)
  
• Thursday: 4 miles YES!
  
• Friday: 5 miles YES!! *fist pump*
  
• Saturday: REST (YES, but it was not very restful. I am dead on my feet after 12 hours at the dog show)
  

I am still so excited that I managed to go 5 miles, and do 16.5 total miles this week, the most so far!

Unfortunately, next weekend is also going to be completely messed up because that is my fundraiser weekend. I have to be at the dog show both days, and I would be willing to bet money right now that I will be too tired to run after everything I will have to do for the fundraiser. Here's another modified schedule that should work:

• Sunday: 3 miles OR cross-train (Pilates) OR REST, depending on how I feel (I am at the dog show in the morning, but hope to be home around lunchtime)
  
• Monday: CROSS-TRAIN OR run 3 miles OR REST (depending on what I actually do on Sunday)
  
• Tuesday: 3 miles
  
• Wednesday: CROSS-TRAIN
  
• Thursday: 4 miles
  
• Friday: 6 miles (yikes!)
  
• Saturday: REST (I am at the dog show all day, so I won't be able to run anyway)

I am also thrilled that my knee is behaving and I don't want to ruin that, so tomorrow and/or Monday may not be as activity-filled as I would like.

As you know, my fundraising has been something to cry happy tears over this week. First, on Monday, another one of my neighbors, Heidi, made a donation, finally budging the meter after 2 weeks at a standstill. (Thank you, Heidi!) And then yesterday Anonymous blew the lid off with his/her fantabulous contribution. I'm still just completely blown away by Anonymous' incredible generosity. THANK YOU, ANONYMOUS! You rock.

I also got four more entries for my agility fun run this week, bringing the total up to about 18 dogs on both Saturday and Sunday. I was hoping for 30 dogs, so I'm still a bit short there, but 18 is a good start.

This has certainly been a memorable week for me. Here's hoping next week is just as full of wonderful moments!
