Weekly Run Down for 10.27.24-11.3.24: Marathon Week!!


Suspense….

Stay tuned to hear how it went.

If you are tracking me, send me some good luck vibes!!

Last Week –

  • Sunday – I started the day at the gym, followed by errands and

first time that I’ve ever voted early…

and then a walk (before the fall foliage has completely disappeared.)

picture perfect day along the Normanskill Creek

  • Monday – DAY OFF – I went to the gym again this morning.

what was on my mind??

My hiking buddies are on the DL but I had to stay home anyway to get Ali on the Run live show tix before they sold out.

Nope.  Sold out in a millisecond? (I actually tix had in 2019 but it was at the same time as Meb and I chose Meb).

So I went out to lunch with my SIL.

And in the evening, I attended week 6 with the STEM group.

that was a pic of the law school lit up with purple lights.. I guess I was running too fast. LOL

  • Tuesday – Back WFH.

Resting the legs this week so just a walk with my BFF after work.

  • Wednesday – After work, I had a prehab appt. with my chiro and then went to a farewell dinner for a friend who is moving to Fla.

  • Thursday –

Guess what? I got an email saying that I did get tix to Ali’s live show!!

Just WFH day for me followed by my last run before the marathon.

75 degrees!!!

Last year we had so many trick or treaters that I ran out of candy… So I bought more candy this time.  And of course, very few this year (though they may have come when I was out running??).

The hubby and I will be eating lots of …

Maybe I will do what Des Linden does…

  • Friday – Just WFH again, packing and mah jongg in the evening
  • Saturday – I took an early train to NYC. As soon as I arrived, I checked my bag at the station and headed to the Ali on the Run live show.

It was fun… Keira D’Amato was her guest.

Keira had won our local 5k in June.

I was thrilled that I could also squeeze in time with Cari. We had lunch together after the show.

My next stop was the expo. As usual, it was so organized and I was in and out in no time.

New York City Marathon Expo – Heart Runner Girl

Orange race shirt? I guess to match the ponchos…

Finally, I retrieved my bag, took the subway downtown to my hotel (in the financial district near the ferry), checked in and then met my friends for my carb loading dinner.

pizza, of course!!

and throwaways organized for an early wake up (and sleepless night).

weather prediction…

  • Sunday – TCS NYC Marathon!!!!!

I don’t start until close to 11:00 am…

My running friends Sherry and Stan, who had decided to defer, came for the weekend to cheer me on. My friends Heidi and Deb came in for the day.

This year for the first time I took the ferry/bus to the start and it worked out fine.

  3. Taking part in such a competition requires very good preparation, congratulations! I’ve only been running for 3 months, but I’ve already learned that a woolen hat is perfect for evening runs 🙂 Thanks to it, my head doesn’t get cold during my training.
