This weekend was more about fundraising than training.  I didn't manage to get into the gym like I had planned, but we made some definite progress on the monetary front.  We've been talking to everyone we know about our yard sale, and have started to solicit donations.  I put an ad up on Craigslist asking for donations of junk, and have been contacting posters in the "free" section of the site.  So far, so good! We've also finalized the date for the sale: Saturday, October 2.  We still need to figure out storage - I definitely don't have room for all of this stuff in my tiny bachelor apartment!  I think we're going to talk to a couple local storage facilities; we'll only need the storage for a month, so maybe they can cut us a deal for our charity sale. :)

A friend of ours hosted a "White Trash BBQ" on Saturday night, and donated all of the empties to our bottle drive.  After one party, we've already made $20! Thanks, Laurel!  If we can collect empties at every party between now and June, we'll definitely have a nice little profit to put towards our pledges. 

The headache on Sunday morning was worth it, but it's back to the gym this afternoon.  The agenda?
  •  Strength Training: Full Body Circuit
  • Cardio: Cross-Training (Treadmill - 40 mins)
We're missing spin class tomorrow night; Larry's taking me to see Rock of Ages!
