Looking back, looking ahead W15/W14

Yesterday was the end of Week 15, and today is exactly 14 weeks until race day. (AAAAGGHH!)

What was I was supposed to do in Week 15? Did I do it?

• Sunday: 3 miles Almost. (I did 2.5)
  
• Monday: REST YES! (Heh.)
  
• Tuesday: 3 miles YES!
• Wednesday: CROSS-TRAIN for 30 minutes NOPE (felt sick)
  
• Thursday: 3 miles YES! (outdoors, yay!)
  
• Friday: CROSS-TRAIN for 30 minutes YES! (strength training)
  
• Saturday: 3 miles NOPE (ran out of gas)
  

I am trying to be smart about listening to my body rather than slavishly following some schedule to the letter no matter what, and unfortunately, this resulted in things not happening this week. I only ran just under 9 miles this week. I hope that won't come back to bite me in the butt 14 weeks from now.

I have to fiddle around with the training schedule for Week 14 because I am going to a dog show next weekend. I hate to muck around with things, but I think this schedule will work:

• Sunday: 3 miles (I did 4.5, yay!)
  
• Monday: CROSS-TRAIN
  
• Tuesday: 3 miles
  
• Wednesday: CROSS-TRAIN for 30 minutes
  
• Thursday: 4 miles
  
• Friday: 5 miles
  
• Saturday: REST (I am at the dog show all day, so I won't be able to run anyway)

I may be an idiot for running 4 miles on Thursday immediately followed by 5 on Friday, but hopefully I can manage it. The mileage has to go up eventually, and there's only one way to find out if I'm ready--as the Nike commercials would say, just do it. Weekly mileage will be 16.5 if I make it all the way through, which is more than I've been running, but not ridiculously so.

I got a few more entries for my agility fundraiser this week, although the grand total is still pretty low. I'm hoping everyone is waiting until the last minute to send in their forms. Either that, or I'm going to look like a world-class moron.

I hope I'm not too sore tomorrow. Good night!
