I did only local travel so I slept in my own bed ALL WEEK. And I didn’t run a race!!!
- Monday – After set up for my training the next day, I went for a run at the Crossings. With the heat index over 100, it was more like a slog. It rained a little but after the rain, it was cooler but more humid Ugh!
- Tuesday – After work, I played tennis. It’s been awhile but as usual so fun to catch up with my friends.
time to kill before tennis so this happened
Afterwards, I met my BFF at the mall to walk and chat.
- Wednesday – After work, I hadn’t planned to run but I realized that I wouldn’t be able to run the next two days and rain was forecast for both Saturday and Sunday so I did go for a run.
on my local rail trail
- Thursday – Rest day due to an after work hair appointment. Afterward, I went to a Women’s Wellness Retreat with two friends. The grounds were beautiful but otherwise the event was disappointing since it seemed to be a way to convince you to sign up for their classes (meditation, etc.) Speakers, some breathing ex, speakers, some seated yoga, more speakers.
the gardens were beautiful also
- Friday – Another rest day. Hosted mah jongg at my home. Does cleaning count as a workout?
- Saturday – I was hoping that the rain would hold off so I could squeeze in a long run. I met up with 4 friends and we all had different mileage plans so although we started out together, I ended up only running with Judy (not this Judy). It was a GREAT run (she pushes me to not walk and I push her to run faster) and then we all went out to brunch.
- Sunday –
Boating Sunday. Boating rained out. But it was a very productive day. I went to the gym, went for a long walk on a new trail, got my nails done, went grocery shopping and did ;laundry.
This Coming Week –
- Monday – 3-4 miles
- Tuesday – travel to Rochester for work, 3-4 miles
- Wednesday – 2 miles, drive home
- Thursday – rest day, monthly tennis friends night out
- Friday – rest day, mah jongg
- Saturday – Adirondack Race to the Lakes 15k
- Sunday – rest day, boating

It must have felt great to be home this week and to be able to sleep in your bed every night!
Monday’s weather is terrible! I was in NYC for half of the day and I just couldn’t believe the humidity and also the heat. I felt like I was melting when walking in the sun lol.
Awesome job on your long run this week!

I love the mural/painting on the rail trail! I try to hit up places in town that are painted – am always amazed by the colors! it’s the little things that really make me smile on a run 🙂
cleaning DEFINITELY counts as a workout!
I had a really good running week – 2 x training and 1 long run. It’s all going a bit too smooth to believe really!
What’s new: mostly we are pimping up our house again – re-doing two rooms and clearing out a bunch of junk. We’ve been wanting to do this for ages so both the Hubs and I really motivated to get it down now!
good luck on your 15K!

The weather was not conducive to running all week — except for Friday, when of course I didn’t have a whole lot of time! This week is going to get even worse — at least it will be cooler up in Lake George for your race (if still not cool).

Sat was great. The only day I remember being bad was Monday but I may have blocked the others out. We do run at different times and I only ran like 2 miles and no drills. Makes a big difference.
We’ll see about Sat. Forecast is for 90-95. The race is not along the lake as the former race was. But it’s not a goal race. Just running it cuz my friend is the director.

Nothing beats sleeping in your own bed, that’s for sure. I travel, on average, about once a month for business and I can never wait to get home. It’s been humid and rainy here all week as well. Still waiting for the happy medium!
