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.

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

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

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.)

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

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

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.

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.
