I had originally hoped to run the Superun 5k on the night I arrived.  I didn’t register and I’m glad I didn’t because my flight was delayed in Cleveland and I arrived too late.  Anyway, I am nursing a sore “heel.”

Thursday morning I dragged myself to the hotel gym (which was on my floor) and slowly ran 3 miles on the treadmill while watching Wimbledon live.

I love conferences and now I remember why I didn’t run at all 2 years ago in Boulder.  No time!  You get caught up in the excitement of the workshops & meeting new people.

The bad thing or maybe good thing (if you like food) is that you get to eat every hour! Breakfast, workshop, food break, workshop, lunch, workshop, food break, workshop, food break, workshop, dinner!

We did walk every day after lunch and in the evening.  But it didn’t put a dent in the calories that I consumed!!!

Friday morning I had a headache & Saturday morning, I had to pack.  So I had a great time but didn’t do the running that I had planned.  It wasn’t so bad because I could justify it with the fact that my “heel” hurt, right?

Sunday morning we got up bright and early to go to Lake George.  I was psyched because I had Monday off.

The real reason I had Monday off was that I had wanted to do the Adirondack 10 miler with AJH.  I definitely wasn’t prepared to run 10 miles and I was jet lagged and tired from the conference.

We got to our marina where the race ended just in time to hear the awards.  Believe it or not, they gave awards for each age and there was no one in my age group!!! I would have won!!! DARN!! This race is on my bucket list!

We ended up having a great day on one of the picnic islands (Black Mountain Pt) with friends.

Saturday evening, we hung out in Bolton Landing and had pizza and listened to a live band.

Sunday morning, sore foot or not, I wasn’t going to miss a run on a perfect morning.  I did my usual 5 mile trek down to the park, around the Sagamore and down 9N.  I took it slow & walked when my heel hurt but it doesn’t feel any worse so it was worth it!

Afterwards, we rode around on the boat to another island and then met friends back at the marina for a BQ.

Unfortunately we had to leave early because I had a USTA tennis match. (I had to play singles – UGH!!)

 This is the last week before I need to get serious about running!  Please, heel heal!

Happy Running!
