Slow week at work (everyone on vacation but me) … but lot’s of eating and partying going on…
Last week –
- Monday – A little snow but not enough to prevent me from squeezing in a short run before finishing my Christmas shopping (Why yes, it was the last minute.) But when I went to change, I realized that I had forgotten my tights so the shopping won.
- Tuesday – A early morning run with Jeri, followed by playing Santa, visiting my MIL for a family dinner and then a movie. One busy Christmas Day.

great film
- Wednesday – Still eating and celebrating. This time my BFF’s birthday (dinner and a movie). I did take a lunch walk.

not even close to the original..oh well
- Thursday – An after work run at UAlbany with some Sole Sisters. Always glad to have company on my runs.
- Friday – Another rest day and finally home to play mah jongg.
- Saturday – Long run Saturday with the Sole Sisters. This week we chose the Nisky Bike Path. We had a big crowd this week. I ran the first 3 miles with Judy & Sherry, the next 5 with just Sherry and the final mile solo.
Our run (of all distances and paces) was followed by brunch, of course.
- Sunday – Was supposed to be a rest day but I decided to take it on NYE instead and run locally followed by a visit to my MIL’s, then catch up day around the house.

chose the Crossings since my MIL lives not far – my only solo run of the week (I tried to get Judy to run with me but she chose the movies instead LOL)
This Coming Week –
- Monday -rest day, NYE dinner out & movie
- Tuesday – Day OFF, Winter Series #2 race (3.75m)
- Wednesday – 3 miles (FF Resolution Run)
- Thursday – 3 miles with SS
- Friday – rest day, mah jongg
- Saturday – 9 miles with my Sole Sisters (Feb. 10 half marathon training continues)
- Sunday -rest day

Happy Running! How is your running going? What’s new with you? Any big races on the horizon? What are your plans for New Year’s Eve? Please share.
Dinner and a party with friends on NYE, then a group run at our local lake on NYD. And lots of football afterwards 😉 Happy New Year!

No exciting NYE plans here–I’m working tomorrow, then we’ll have dinner at home. Probably a movie. Woo hoo!

We’ve had a low-key holiday because my husband caught the cold I had a few weeks ago. We did get out for a bike ride yesterday — the sunshine felt so good. Today we wasted our energy on putting the decorations away. 😉 You managed a lot of runs over the holiday. I’m trying to take it easy on my hip but having a hard time staying on the sidelines.

Hope your hip heal quickly. It must be hard not to run.

Mr. Judy is grilling tonight (unless it rains, but maybe even if it does, he pulls the grill really close to the house). I still need to do the sides. And no doubt we’ll watch a movie but I won’t be staying up to midnight. Our normal exciting evening. 🙂

This is the first year in my life that I have to work so I didn’t make plans. I’m sure we’ll go out. I hope I can stay up to toast the new year. At least the race is not until noon.

We saw Mary Poppins too. It was good but definitely not the original. Great job getting runs in through the holidays!

I agree. Emily Blunt was good. I was expecting too much, I guess. Happy New Year.

Great week! And a nice week coming up starting with NYE celebrations! I wish I had more friends to run with although I did get one run in that blew up my hamstrings ( intervals uphill) with my training group!
We are in a Berlin for NYE – currently chilling out after a 10k race and later we are going to brave the crowds at the Brandenburg Gate to ring in the new year! Will be strange to finally get back to a normal schedule soon!

Nicely done! You had more snow than we did yesterday, but we weren’t supposed to have any. Funny re: tights, seems to have been a week or two of people forgetting at least one essential. How was Green Book?
Quiet day for me today: sushi, run and veg after busy weekend

I love going to the movies, and Green Book looks amazing. I will wait for Mary Poppins to come out on DirecTV, I think. It looks good, but I’m not motivated to go see it.
