Weekly Run Down for 9.16.19-9.22.19: On the Road Again


ru

After one week of not traveling for work, for the next four weeks I will be back on the road. Sigh.

And still trying to train for NYCM.

Last Week –

  • Monday  – Long drive to Rochester but after my set-up, I had time to go for a run. I haven’t been here in a while but I used to come here often so at least I knew places to run. My favorite is along Lake Ontario. It was beautiful with perfect weather.

  • Tuesday – After a tough day at work, a run was just what I needed. I decided to head to the Erie Canal path. Again perfect running weather and a Skirt Sports ambassador meet up at Schoen Place.

  • Wednesday – Running three days in a row is not what I normally do but this was a short one and back along Lake Ontario.

Then a stop for ice cream.

Who knew Abbott’s was here? Had to run another mile to justify that custard.

  • Thursday – Last night in Rochester and another run along the Erie Canal but in the opposite direction from Tuesday. Wish this weather would last forever.

  • Friday – Rest day.  Long drive home. Pooped.
  • Saturday – Long Run Day with my Sole Sisters. Since I’m skipping a long run on Oct 5, I decided to run 18 and postpone my cutback run until next weekend. I ran 4 miles solo, then 5 more with Judy, and finally 4.5 with Barbara. I finish the last 4.5 miles alone. I’m not gonna lie. IT WAS HARD!!!!

After brunch, I had a much needed hair appt. Then errands and out to celebrate a friend’s b-day (while the hubby was on our boat.)

  • Sunday – No boating today. I was at a Mah Jongg weekend away. Some of us, including me, just went for the day. Fun to play and relax. Hopefully, next Sunday, I’ll be back on the boat.

    • Me too. The weather cooperated and Rochester and NYC are easy to run in. Three more weeks of travel in less desirable places. Wrong year to train. Oh well.

    • 16 felt rather easy but not 18. Too tired and hot and too fast. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

      I make my hair appts for the year but with travel you can imagine how many times I have to change.

    • I thought it was a great idea but I think it made it harder since my friends were fresh when they started running and I was spent. But still I prefer to have company.

  7. Schoen Place ❤
    I feel like you were traveling to Rochester in the first weeks we blog met. You were a stone's throw from my college campus – Naz is right on East Ave to the right of Schoen Place, past French road.
    I feel you on move the run. The Albany Half is supposed to be 18. Luckily Jordan's to the shuttle is about 4 so 17ish will be fine

  8. I went to the salon last week for some highlights. It always makes me so happy to get that look, but hanging out in the salon makes me a bit antsy. I guess that’s the part of me that doesn’t like to sit still! Oh, and spending the money to do it 🙂 Great job on that 18 miler!! You had some beautiful places to run last week.
