Looking back, looking ahead W3/W2

Well, you just read what I thought of the Mind Over Marathon meeting. Less than two weeks to go--I am ready for race day to arrive.

Today marks 13 days until the race, and there are 13.1 miles in the half, so tomorrow I will start posting my mile dedications--making sure I thank all the people that have contributed and helped me and saying a little something about each of them if I can. I will just use first names to protect people's privacy. If you really don't want to be mentioned in any way, e-mail me and I will blot out every pixel about you.

So, let's look at last week.

What was I supposed to do in Week 3? Did I do it?

• Tuesday: 5 miles NOPE (I was sick)
• Wednesday: CROSS-TRAIN YES!
  
• Thursday: 8 miles YES! (all 8, whoo-hoo!)
  
• Friday: CROSS-TRAIN NOPE (instructor was sick)
  
• Saturday: 8 miles (Group Run) YES!
  
• Sunday: 4 miles YES!
  

I only trained 4 days out of 6 last week--I'm not very happy with that. However, I am pleased that I ran 20 miles in the span of four days.

What's my schedule for Week 2?

• Tuesday: 4 miles
• Wednesday: CROSS-TRAIN (group class again)
  
• Thursday: 6 miles
  
• Friday: CROSS-TRAIN (private lesson in the morning)
  
• Saturday: 8 miles (last Group Run, along part of the race route!)
  
• Sunday: 3 miles
  

That seems extremely doable. I would really, really, REALLY like to be able to have all of these days marked in green next Monday!!

Time to get to bed. Every day from now until the race, I need to get to sleep at a decent hour...
