Work (and not from home), rain, girls trip, etc.
Some weeks, I’m just happy to get in a run…
Last Week –
- Sunday –I thought about a run since I had walked the 5k with my friends the day before…
But I decided to keep my plan of Sunday morning at the gym.
The weather was great again and I booked a site on another island on Lake George in advance so we could barbecue. The best part of the day (besides the food and the ice cream later) was that I was able to read a whole book (The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah)…
- Monday – I had enough time to run before work…
- Tuesday – Again I started the day with a run …
and then after work, I met friends to go for a long walk on the rail trail.
- Wednesday – DAY OFF!!
I forgot that it was Global Running Day and instead of a run, I went to the gym…
A few tennis friends and I planned a day trip today to the NY Botanical Gardens to see:
transforms the Garden through the sights, settings, and scents of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
It was so beautiful there.
- Thursday – I had to teach live today so I rushed out in order to try to get some miles done before our trail night but had to sit in my car for an hour during a torrential rainstorm.
Fortunately, it stopped in time to get in our trail walk.
- Friday – Another live teaching day so nothing but
mah jongg in the eveningmy hair appointment.
- Saturday – Long Run Saturday and Brunch.
There was brunch and a run with my friends but the runs don’t get long for a few weeks.
- Sunday – Hopefully my regularly scheduled program: GYM, day on the lake (but maybe not since the forecast calls for rain…)

Ugh, rain can really be a downer when your time is limited to get out. I hope this next week has better weather for you!

GAH! Your Sunday at the lake (last week) sounds incredible- I would LOVE to relax at the lake like that and read an entire book!
Weirdly, I always forget when Global Running Day is coming up. This year it just worked out that I ran on the right day.
I hope you make it to the lake today (?) You guys seem to get a LOT of rain.

The good thing about NYC in the summertime is that it is light still after work.

I’m glad to see you were able to resume running this week! Too bad about the rain though. We had a lot of rain last week too. I hope it’s done now!

Nice job getting out for runs, despite the weather. I don’t mind rainy runs as long as it’s warmer and I have a hat – I hate 40s and rain. I will NOT run in thunderstorms though – I’m scared of lightning!

What a relaxing day on the lake, and it looks like it was one of the few days you didn’t have rain.

Rain is great when it’s hot. If not I’d skip the run. Not a fan of a wet run.
