Last Week:
- Monday – Day off from work. Woo Hoo. Also my 18th wedding anniversary. (My hubby had to work but we went out to dinner over the weekend.)
Started the day with a plank. Kim from Running on the Fly challenged everyone last week to do a 5 minute plank. Well, I did ONE minute.
I took advantage and ran during the daylight. Judy was nice enough to cooperate and join me at the Corning Bike Path.

Judy ran 3 and I added some extra
There may have been a lot of re-fueling involved.
- Tuesday – it was a miserable rainy day so I was glad it was a rest day. I did play tennis after work.
- Wednesday – another rainy day but it did let up so that Alyssa and I could squeeze in 3 after work miles.
- Thursday– Another scheduled rest day. In the evening, my BFF and I did our usual mall walk and talk.
- Friday – I did go for a 4 mile run before my evening mah jongg game. It was cloudy but at least it was not cold.
- Saturday – A scheduled rest day to do errands, get things done around the house. Although I didn’t attend the Women’s marches in DC and NYC, I was there in spirit. Instead, I attended the one in Albany, NY. I went with some friends. There was a great turn out and I’m so glad I went.
- Sunday – Today’s weather wasn’t as perfect as Saturday but it still wasn’t cold. I motivated myself to complete my 8 solo miles (Judy ran on Saturday) with a post-run treat from Leah’s. Unfortunately it rained most of my run even poured at times. Plus the trail was so icy that I had to run on a back road to get my miles done.
I did get my delicious post-run treat but I won’t be running here again until spring. That evening I went to the movies with friends – a perfect end to the weekend.

it was disappointing 😦
20 miles done with 4 runs and 3 rest days
This Week:

Happy Running! How is your running going? How is your running weather? Did you march on Saturday?
Sorry to hear that the movie was disappointing!
My sister is planning on heading up to Albany next weekend for a march…

I did warn you about the fact that they get a LOT more snow up there, although I’m still surprised by the state of the path.
I’m kind of glad about the 15k this weekend (I think). Cause I think it’s going to be messy most everywhere by then.
I feel a whole lot better than I don’t have to go downtown every day. I wish I could’ve given it to you!

There was no snow but they don’t clear the ice. The whole path both ways was spotted with ice. I had to go off it and run on the road or walk in the mud on the side. Not fun especially since it was raining too.
If the course is not clear on Sunday, I won’t run it. In years past, I have been on the State office part and it has been icy. I thnk I wore yaks. But Not worth it. I’ll just run on my own.

I think by Sunday it should be clear. You would not believe the wonderful mudfest I had on Friday — but definitely better than ice — it wasn’t slippery, just kind of disgusting (well, except for a few patches of ice).

Figures crossed. See you on Sunday.

Happy Anniversary (a little late). Great job on getting your runs done in your winter weather. We went to the movies and saw Split. Weird. But, OK. Honestly, I don’t even know if they had marches around here. I usually don’t watch or listen to any news. LOL. Thanks for linking, Darlene.

Happy belated Anniversary. Darlene. Speaking of anniversary I booked a race entry a few days after ours to Raleigh NC. I thought we could celebrate in a city we’ve never been too. Hope you have a great week.
