Weekly Run Down for 5.18.25-5.25.25: Prepping for a Race


There have been a few fun 5ks recently but today, I am scheduled to race a 10 miler.

Last Week –

  • Sunday – I started the day at the gym and then did some errands and yardwork.
  • Monday – I went to the office so I decided to do my run at nearby UAlbany after work. It was COLD and WINDY!!!

brrrrrrrrrr

  • Tuesday – I went to the gym first thing and then after work, I went out to dinner with my BFF as a belated b-day celebration.

  • Wednesday – I had to teach in-person today.

I skipped the gym but rewarded myself with Starbucks.

Today was week 9 of the Training Challenge group. Instead of our normal location, all groups met for preview run on the race course. It was actually one of my better runs…

drizzly and chilly… where is spring?

  • Thursday – I had to teach in-person again today. So I skipped the gym again and of course, bought myself with Starbucks.

After work, I had planned to run on the Corning bike path since it was near where I worked. RAIN!! And cold.  I bailed.

  • Friday – WFH today and so I could go to the gym first thing… and at lunchtime, I decided to try to get in a run before the rain (and I did… barely).

the lilies were pretty but I was COLD!!!!

Mah jongg was back on the schedule for the evening.

  • Saturday – Long Walk and Brunch. Since my race was the next day, I just walked with my friends and then we met for brunch after.

thumbs up for the rain stopping…

  • Sunday – Miles on the Mohawk (10 Mile) Race

Deb (who is injured) is going to drive Barb & I to the start. It is a point to point race mostly on the flat Mohawk River bike path along the Mohawk River.  I hope it goes well and we have fun.

In the evening, I am going out to dinner with the family to celebrate my hubby’s b-day (that was on Wed.)

  3. Oh, I’m sorry to hear about your cold weather! It still looks pretty with all the green and flowers.

    Happy belated birthday to your husband! And I hope you had a good 10 mile race.

  8. Hope you had fun at your race on Sunday!

    It’s been a little cooler and rainier than usual for this time in May and it looks like the weather pattern may continue for the upcoming week.
