Last Week:
- Monday – I decided to squeeze in an evening run since Tuesday had rain in the forecast
getting bored with the Ualbany loop so ran through the streets of Delmar
- Tuesday – Glad that I planned a rest day since it rained most of the day. I did play tennis in the evening instead.
- Wednesday – Finally dragged myself out for a short lunchtime walk.
picked up my race prize
I went for a run after work with Alyssa. The day started out warm but by the time we ran, it had gotten much colder and then during our run, it started to sleet. Fun. Fun. Well, we just ran faster.
3 wet miles
After the run, I met my running buddy, Barbara, for a drink & a bite to eat. I haven’t seen her in a while since she has been out of commission with an injury. It was fun catching up. I hope she is able to run again soon.
- Thursday– Another scheduled rest day. I finally met up with my BFF for her postponed birthday dinner and a movie.

Enjoyable but left wondering what hype is about.
- Friday – I did go for a run before my evening mah jongg game. I decided that I would try to run on the rail trail if it were clear and it was. But I had a mental lapse – darkness and no lights. What was I thinking? I ran fast and only had to run the last mile in the dark.
- Saturday – A scheduled rest day to do errands, get things done around the house.
- Sunday – A very chilly day but I got some miles in. I ran with Judy who suggested the Nisky Bike Path. When I saw the coating of snow, I almost bailed on the run (Judy wore Yak Trax; I did not.) But it wasn’t slippery at all and even though it was 15 degrees, I didn’t feel cold at all. It was very pleasant and slow and Judy & I got to chat until the last mile when I decided to need to get some in some speed. Afterwards, we went out to lunch. (I was starving as I didn’t bring any fuel on the run.)
After I got home, I rushed out to the movies with a few friends.
Great movie. Highly recommend it!

My First 5K and More... 
Someone posted a photo of their street with & without knuckle lights — it was a pretty dramatic visual! Just sayin’. Glad I get to run when it’s light, though. I need all the vitamin d I can get — not that I get much all bundled up.

Yes, I saw. I know they work. I’m a techie but low maintenance on the runner side (no sticks, worms, etc). If I run at night, I just run where there are lights. I don’t intend to run in the dark (unless I do a Ragnar which I don’t plan to.)
And I think you have to have skin showing to get the vitamin D benefits from the sun LOL

Oh gosh the knuckle are awesome! I have the rechargeable ones. That is what I clip on my belt and hold one. If I had a trail like yours I would be running a lot more in the evening with light!
Nice job on the mileage and snow run. I don’t know how the heck you run in it LOL
LikeLike
Maybe. But I prefer to run where there is light.
Running where there is light snow was not hard at all. The cold was worse.

Wow, you got a lot in in spite of the weather! I really want to see both those movies, I’ve heard great things about both of them.

I recommend lion and hidden figures. Better than lala land. But obviously not according to the golden globes

I wonder, does running in Yak Trax hurt the bottom of your feet after a while? Not that I’ll ever need to do that, but inquiring minds, LOL!

They don’t hurt the bottom of your feet. But I did wind up with pain on the side of my foot once. So I hesitate wearing them unless absolutely necessary

I have seen that preview of the movie and it did look good. You got a loaf of bead for an age award? Well at least it will be useful.

Bread was good. My hubby appreciated it. It is already gone.

I’ve done that before head out on the trails without realizing I would be running part in the dark. But hey it does make us pick up the pace, right:)
A loaf of bread for an age group, LOVE IT!!! That is at least something tasty to use! Great job!!!

I am totally jinxing myself (and fellow MidWest runners)…but I am kind of craving a snow run. We have the cold weather, but (currently) NO snow to go with it. Somehow it feels a lot colder when there is no snow on theground (?)

As long as I can run and not fall, I’m happy.

It sounds like you had an excellent week! I’ve love to run in snow one day. It’s on my bucketlist; northerners probably think I’m crazy!
