Weekly Run Down for 10.20.24-10.27.24: Taper Time!!


One week to go!!! Gulp!

Last Week –

  • Sunday – I finally returned to the gym…

After some stuff done in the house and some errands, I decided that it was too nice a day to waste.

So I headed out to do some leaf peeping.

Hike #1:

soo dry but pretty

Hike #2:

Both hikes were short and easy. But I was happy that my legs felt great (even after the 20 miler the day before.)

  • Monday – WFH all week. Yay.

After work, I squeezed in a visit with my granddaughter.

She’s walking!!

It was week 5 for the STEM group and so that was my run for the day.

they’re up to 5 minutes of running straight

  • Tuesday – Another busy work day but at least I was able to get out after work for a walk with a friend.  80 degrees!!

beautiful colors this year but it gets dark so early that we had to rush…

  • Wednesday – Today I had to get my run done at lunch…

not sure if I was sleep deprived or  experiencing a delayed recovery from the 20 miler, but this run was a struggle

because I was getting together for dinner with a friend.

  • Thursday – I started the day at the gym..

The only time for run was after work…

I headed to end of the rail trail hoping I would feel better than the day before…

the temps had dropped and this run felt so much speedier…

  • Friday – Another WFH day (and afternoon visit to the office)

    decaf and my reward after a long week…

    and then mah jongg in the evening.

  • Saturday – Last Long Run!

I debated on how much to run. My plan said 12 miles.

Again I enlisted the help of my running friends.

I ran the first few miles with Barb and the last 5 with Stan.

past peak with lots of fallen leaves… bumped into some other friends along the way… perfect day for my last long run

  • Sunday – Gym visit planned and a walk/hike – weather dependent. Start packing? Weather stalking…

  3. Well, you had some challenges this training cycle but you got it done! I’m VERY excited for you (I’m going to start weather stalking on your behalf.) I’ll be watching on TV!

  7. How fun that you’re going to the Ali on the Run Show live! I’m sure that could be a recap in itself. Good luck at the NYC Marathon and most importantly have fun! Can’t wait to hear all about it.
