Last week –
- Monday – A long work day but I was close to a place where I like to run so I planned to run. there before it got too dark. But it was drizzling and a coworker invited me out to dinner so I caved. Rest day.
- Tuesday – Another long work day and originally I thought it would be a rest day since I was going to a holiday tennis dinner. But I had enough time to squeeze in a run (in freezing temps) and Christmas shopping before dinner.
- Wednesday – Back to NYC for the last time this year. I got there early enough to get my run done (on the High Line) and a visit to the new Starbucks Roastery
before going to see Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden. I love him!!!!!!! And the concert did not disappoint.
- Thursday – Tired after a late night but it was my last night in NYC (until Feb 2019) so I planned to go to Central Park to meet Cari for a run. Rain got in the way of our run but not our evening together.
We got plenty of steps and conversation in on the High Line, the Standard Hotel, Starbucks Roastery and Chelsea Market.
not your average Starbucks
- Friday – Another rest day. The third this week. But no time to run since I had to take the train home after work. (Beside it rained ALL DAY.)
- Saturday – Long run Saturday with the Sole Sisters. This week we chose the Delmar Rail Trail. It was followed by brunch, of course.
Sherry & Jeri missing from the photo – I ran with Barbara (on the right)
Then in the evening I celebrated Christmas with a dinner out with my hubby, my stepson and his fiancee.
the happy couple – 3 mos till the wedding
- Sunday – Rest Day and catch up day around the house including errands.

I saw Billy once . . . before I was married (but with the then Mr. Judy’s Boyfriend & another friend. So long ago. It wasn’t really that busy a week for me but still oh so tired. It’s just the time of year.

lack of sunshine and lack of daylight – that can do it.

Me too. I went years ago. Glad I decided to go again. I appreciated it even more. His songs are timeless and he sounds the same as years ago.

what a week! I’ve never seen Billy Joel but he’s on my list of “must see” !
i’m not running so much. I ran yesterday and managed to fall AGAIN. at least this time on the right side. The left side was seriously beaten up (and still I sometimes feel where I bruised my ribs). Next race is in February… but with us you never know, could be in a few weeks on a whim 🙂
