Last week –
- Monday – I was nearby for work so decided to run at The Crossings. I felt great but had to cut it short because it got too dark (and I didn’t have my knuckle lights with me.)
- Tuesday – A long work day and a rest day after running 3 days in a row. Besides it was raining!!!
- Wednesday – I took the train to Manhattan for work. After I went to and from Queens, I took the subway to Central Park to run in the evening. It was great to run with lights and others runners around.

about 2 miles through the park and 3 other stop & run miles around the city
I continued my run through the streets of NY looking at all the holiday lights. (Pictured below are Rockefeller Center, Saks & Fox News)

you can’t beat the sights and sounds of NYC at Christmastime
- Thursday – I worked all day in Queens but still squeezed in a run along the Hudson in the evening.

again I combined a run (2 miles) and a stop & run tour of the city (1 mile)
Then I ran back to the hotel via Bryant Park.
- Friday – Again I worked all day in Queens and then took the train home…no time to run today.
- Saturday – No morning run with the Wineglass ladies. Instead I had a hair appointment and in the evening we all ran the Albany Last Run, a 5k race through the lights in the park. As usual, it was a fun time even though it snowed before and during the race and we could barely run without slipping. (In fact I did fall crossing the finish line LOL)
Afterwards, we went back to Judy’s for food, drink and a lively book discussion. The book was A Beautiful Work in Progress by Mirna Valerio.
- Sunday – Just a day to catch up on everything I’ve ignored.
Next Week –
- Monday – 6 mile run
- Tuesday – rest, tennis

How fun looking at all the lights on the buildings in NYC. I’m sure it made your run fly by. I hope to get to visit NYC before the holidays are over. You guys look so festive at your 5k race.
