Last Week:
- Monday – A chilly rainy day so I caught up with things around the house, went to the gym and did some errands. A needed rest day on Memorial Day.
- Tuesday – A scheduled rest day and I played my last indoor tennis.
I had thought I could squeeze in a run (hence my running skirt/capri) but it started to rain AGAIN.
- Wednesday – Off to NYC for work. I took the train and after I checked into my hotel, the rain had stopped so I hopped on the subway and went for a run. I intended to go to Central Park but wound up on Riverside Dr. so ran along the Hudson River instead..

Then that evening I went to see a show on Broadway.
The story of Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein
- Thursday – Indoors all day for work but I did squeeze in a walk during lunch and another run in the evening. This time along the East River. Central Park will have to wait until my next trip to NYC. (June 19).

In the evening, I just walked around the area.
Bryant Park, Empire State Building and bumping into a former student on the street = ❤ nyc
- Friday – Another day in NYC for work. Took a walk at lunch and then took the train home in the evening. Rest day #3.
- Saturday – Today I ran the Freihofer’s Run for Women, my favorite local race. The energy of this race is addictive and I always meet so many new and old faces.
I met AJH who I had no idea was coming to run (from VT) – no PR but a decent time – 27:48 (13th in my AG)
I added another 5K afterward to complete my ZOOMA Virtual 10k race.
just a leisurely additional 3.8 miles retracing the course plus some photo stops
Then the hubby (who had been playing tennis) and I headed up North to meet some lake friends for dinner.
- Sunday – I would have liked to go boating again today but the weather did not cooperate. So I went to the gym and did some errands.
15.5 miles done with 3 runs and 4 rest days
This Week:
- Monday – 4 miles
- Tuesday – rest, travel to Liverpool for work, tm??
- Wednesday – rest, work in Liverpool, travel home
- Thursday –6 miles with Alyssa
- Friday – 3 miles, mah jongg
- Saturday – rest, boating
- Sunday – 5k race (volunteering for STEM) + 5 miles
My First 5K and More... 
Great week! I’ve run along the East River but not the Hudson – looks like some great views there!

Riverside Drive is awesome and you can run along the Hudson or in the park.

It was such a fun surprise to bump into you! Loved reading your NYC recaps. You were running my route along the Hudson as well! Glad you enjoyed your time here.

I was shocked to see you. Somehow we often bump into each other. I’ll be back in NYC Jun 19-21 and July 5-7. Maybe we can schedule a meet-up for an after work drink.

That Freihofer’s run looks fun. You definitely had a great week. Did you enjoy the show?

Yes I did. The leads were great. It wasn’t one of my favorites and I’m glad that I got cheap tix. I really want to see Hamilton but the prices are out of sight ($500-$2000 EACH!)

How was War Paint? I love Broadway plays, especially musicals!
I’m jealous of all of your NYC running …beautiful sites! Oh and …I sooooo need that pink and grey Skirtsports running skirt you’re wearing in the 5k pic! I didn’t see that pattern on their website recently. It must be an older one?

It was good. Not great. Nothing to compare to Les Miz, Wicked, kinky boots, etc. But the tix were affordable. I really want to see Hamilton!!!
