In NYC again but only for 3 days….
- Monday – Back to traveling to NYC for work. Instead of a run since I had 5k the next day, I went for a walk. I wanted to find all the Grown Up Flowers and I stumbled upon many other interesting sights too.
I also saw another Broadway show which is now on my favorites list.
- Tuesday – Another Brooklyn 5k. This was not one of the cheap ones sponsored by the PPTC. It was the inaugural Brooklyn Ice Cream Social 5k. You know that I couldn’t pass up a race that included ice cream. So I did the race, got my soft ice cream and even ran a course PR.
- Wednesday – Rest day because I had to rush to catch my train to get home. (It was rainy anyway.)
- Thursday – Back home. I had dinner with a former co-worker but did squeeze in a short run in the morning after a dentist appt.
Before dinner, I actually (don’t faint) spent a few minutes in the gym and then we went for a walk (on the same route as my morning run.)
- Friday – Truly a rest day. Just work. I even skipped mah jongg.
- Saturday – Got up early to meet some friends to run. Many runners were racing today (yes, I was tempted) so we combined two groups and met in a new locale. Although the route was completely flat, the run felt harder than last week. But I think it was not carrying any food or water with more humid temps could have factored in. Of course, we went out to brunch afterwards.
- Sunday – Boating Sunday. This could become a habit and a nice one. Since my hubby had gone up the night before, I had some unrushed time in the morning to go for a run.
It finally felt like a real summer day. 80 degrees!! (If only the water would warm up…)
This Coming Week –
- Monday – 4 miles at the Crossings (if I don’t die from the heat)
- Tuesday – rest day, tennis, mall walk with BFF
- Wednesday – 3 miles at UAlbany
- Thursday – rest day, hair appt, wellness night event
- Friday – rest day, mah jongg chez moi
- Saturday – 9 miles
- Sunday – rest day, boating

good week! I’d have not only done that ice cream run in a heartbeat, I’d have gone to see School of Rock with you as well! FUN!!
I was on target last week with running – officially 1st week of marathon training is in the books. As for what is new with me… nothing much really. I’ve got a bit of a fire to really take care of things in the house now that I’ve started so hopefully I can see those projects finished before the end of the year. Lord knows I can’t just do nothing ha!

I can’t believe you ran over 8 miles without hydration. I’d be dying this time of year. Our water temp is in the 80’s and YES I finally made it to the lake this weekend! WHOOT. Of course you’d run an ice cream 5k…and place in your age group. You’re just doing your thing! 😉 Thanks for linking!
