Weekly Run Down for 9.15.24-9.22.24: On the road again…


…to recovery and training for my fall races

and to NYC for work.

Last Week –

  • Sunday – With boating out of the picture, I went back to where I walked last Sunday.

I parked in a different location so I had different views of the Mohawk R. and again the weather was delightful.

Afterward I went back to that nearby country store…

free cider donuts!!

And then later I met a running friend  for dinner and drinks…

a lakeview…

  • Monday – More great weather… so I took a short run during my lunch break.

Boy was it hot!!!

Now that my face looked normal, I stopped off after work to visit my granddaughter.

even with a fever, she was happy and active

  • Tuesday – A day off from work for a doctor’s visit and to prepare for my work trip the next day.

Since I didn’t know if I would have time to run in NYC (and rain was in the forecast), I ran a few miles in the morning.

feathers from a …?

Later in the day, I went for a long walk with a former co-worker.

  • Wednesday – I took an early train to NYC for work. After checking into my hotel, my plan was to take the tram to Roosevelt Island to view some murals and run (provided that it wasn’t raining.)

The weather turned out to be beautiful and the island had so many interesting sights.

murals, woman puzzle, cat sanctuary, lighthouse, FDR memorial (more pics on FB)

Afterward I had enough time to take the subway to the meatpacking district… to see 100 elephants!!

all sizes, all different, cost from $8k to $22k… to raise money for Africa. (more pics on FB)

  • Thursday – My usual long work day starting with a subway ride at 6:45 am and returning at 5pm.

I several plans for after work: run in Central Park, see 3 new bronze statues at the Occulus Plaza or see the wall art in Freeman Alley.

Nope. Too pooped from standing all day… instead:

great decision .. it was really good!

  • Friday – Another long work and the train back home in the evening.

train ride along the Hudson R. at sunset.

  • Saturday – Long Run Day. Today’s brunch plans included a party hosted by one of the runners (who will soon be wintering in Florida.)

16 miles was on my marathon training plan.  However, there was no way that would happen after a difficult 10 mile run the week before.

I arrived early and parked about 2.5 miles away and ran with Barb. Then I met up with Deb, ran/walked 8 more miles and finally continued solo back to my car.

13 miles followed by a mimosa or two and delicious homemade food!!

  • Sunday – I plan to walk this FREE race (3.3 miles)

  4. I’m glad you’re feeling better! You healed up pretty fast. Nice job on the long run, considering the difficult run last week. Like Wendy, I’m curious to hear what your plans are for NYCM.

    Heather is a cutie, as always! Hope she’s feeling better now.
