Weekly Run Down for 4.13.25-4.21.25: It was supposed to be a Quiet Week…


No races.

No travel.

Yay!

Then on Tuesday, I was told that I had to get to NYC and sub in Jamaica Queens on Wednesday and Thursday. Oy!

I had to quickly make train and hotel reservations and pack.

Oh and cancel chiro appt and dinner with former colleague on Tuesday, cancel race/mentoring on Wednesday and finally cancel a meetup with running friend up from Florida on Thursday.

On another note, did you all get on the AI Barbie bandwagon?

Ha Ha! If only I looked this good.

Last Week –

  • Sunday – A Rest Day after the half marathon the day before. I was supposed to meet up with a running friend that I hadn’t seen for in a while but she had to cancel.  Instead I got a lot done around the house as well as some errands.

Happy Passover if you celebrate

  • Monday – DAY OFF! I started at the gym and then I met the Training Challenge group for a run/walk in the afternoon.

many more runners than in my Wednesday group

Since it was so nice out, I decided to go for a mini hike up at Thacher Park…

many of the trails were closed but the water was flowing…

After because my granddaughter wouldn’t be around for Easter, I stopped by to give her a few gifts.

she loves to color…

Finally, I finished and filed my TAXES! $$$$ 😦

  • Tuesday – WFH today so after I got ready for my unscheduled work trip, I went for a short run in the neighborhood (before it started to rain.)

just a few signs of spring and warm temps…

Then I took the train to Manhattan, checked into my hotel and hopped on the subway to the upper westside to see some tulips.

just the early blooms but lovely anyway… (more pics on IG& FB)

It was so nice out that I decided to head back by walking through Central Park.

lots of runners so FOMO

As I always do, I contacted Cari and we were able to meet and have dinner together.

Finally I walked all the way back to my hotel.

Phew. What a day!

  • Wednesday – Today was the 4th week of mentoring the Training Challenge group. Instead of our normal location, we were meeting at Siena College to participate in a free 1.5 mile race.

Unfortunately I was working in NYC.

After a long day on the feet, I took the subway back to my hotel.

I wanted to run but since I visited Central Park the day before, I wasn’t sure where to go. It was chilly again and very windy so I bagged the run and was just going to meet a college friend for dinner.

Well, she had to cancel so I took the subway downtown and walked along the East River with a stop for some “pink” at Pier 15.

  • Thursday – Day 2 working in Jamaica Queens.

And afterward I headed back to my hotel and then home on the train.

  • Friday – WFH so I was able to get to the gym at lunch.

After work, I had a quick visit with the running friend that I was supposed to see on Thursday night.

Then I had rush home to clean since it was my turn to host mah jongg that evening.

  • Saturday – Long Run and Brunch. Fingers crossed that it wouldn’t rain for once on a Saturday.

So all if a sudden it was summer. I think we skipped spring. Warm and HUMID with showers on the way.

I was able to get some miles done with friends and then meet the walkers for brunch/chatting.

2 solo run/walk miles, 3 with Barbara and then 3 speed drill miles…

And it didn’t rain until we were having brunch.

  • Sunday – Easter Sunday.

The hubby and I plan to out to dinner with my SIL and then have dessert after with the rest of family at my MIL’s.

  1. What a bummer to have to go to NYC on such short notice, but yay for meeting Cari for dinner!

    It was a pretty nice week here weather wise, and our upcoming week is supposed to be quite warm.

    Happy Passover and Easter!

  2. It sounds like a busy but fun week. You always make the NYC trips fun, it seems (at least the non-work parts.)

    Glad to see your weather warm up- but let’s get rid of all the humidity. It’s been hot but breezy here- of course I’m stalking the weather in Ocala for next weekend and it’s supposed to be 92 the day of my race. Sob.

    Happy Easter!

  3. Phew! What a week! Glad you were able to get organized and even have dinner with Cari!

    I want to see the front view of that bride(?). It looks like the dress is shorter in front to show off some boots???

  4. Yikes on the short notice for a change in plans! Glad you were able to make the most of it! You are a flexible employee 🙂 Love all the flower pictures, so pretty!

  5. That’s so frustrating to have to pick up and go, and make all the arrangements last minute, but… how fun to see Cari and get to take in all the sights. I feel like there’s always something new to see and explore.
