Weekly Wrap for 12.24.18-12.30.18 – Running with Friends


ru

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.

kitties + egg nog + Elf on TV = Christmas Eve

  • 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.

used my NEW Starbucks Roastery mug and convinced my RBF to do 2 loops instead of one

  • 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.

an old pic – just take away the leaves on the trees and add darkness and we only ran 3 miles

  • 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  8. 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!

  13. 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
