Weekly Run Down for 5.25.25-6.1.25: Welcome June and a Week of Races


The week started with a 10 miler…

and ended with a 5k:

Last Week –

  • Sunday – Miles on the Mohawk (10 mile) Race. I got lucky with the weather. It rained before the race and all afternoon and evening but NOT during the race.

I finished slower than I had hoped but I felt good so I’m not complaining.

I got a little bit of gardening done before the rain and then went out to dinner to celebrate belatedly my hubby’s birthday.

My granddaughter came which was the highlight.

  • Monday – DAY OFF- Memorial Day Holiday. The gym was closed but my running friend who was injured and couldn’t run yesterday’s race decided to walk it today. I walked 5 of the 10 miles with her.

Where we started and ended our walk was the start of the town Memorial Day parade.  It was pretty impressive.

Normally this would have been a day to take out out boat. Nope. But actually it was nicer than predicted.  Sunny!!

I got more gardening done and then went out to  dinner with a friend.

  • Tuesday –  WFH all this week.

I started the day at the gym and then at lunch went for a run.

with summer-like temps

After work, I met two former co-workers for a walk.

This cat is back… we see her on our walks here.

  • Wednesday – Tried something different this morning.  Instead of the gym or a run, I went for a walk in the ‘hood.

scenes from my walk on the water line…

I had a meeting a lunch with my contractor (still trying to get my old  deck replaced) so no run.

Tonight was the dinner for volunteers of the Run for Women but I had time before to squeeze in a run but I didn’t feel like it so I just went for a walk before the dinner.

  • Thursday –  Back to the gym before work. No time to run at lunch so I squeezed one in before work…

the flowers are prettier than my selfie..

After work, I had an appt with another deck guy. Then 3 things on my schedule: monthly tennis dinner, first ARE summer trail run and STEM board meeting ZOOM.

I chose the least fun one – the board meeting since I just got elected and missed the last meeting.  (Besides, I had already gone to the restaurant they chose and rain was predicted for the trails.)

  • Friday – WFH today and so I could go to the gym first thing…

Instead of mah jongg, I volunteered at the race expo.

Then afterward, we went out for ice cream and a walk.

  • Saturday – Run for Women 5k Race. Rain was in the forecast…

And boy, they got it right. Torrential rain and wind the whole 3.1 miles!  But I did it!

We went out to brunch after and then I spent a long time in the hot shower warming up…

  • Sunday – gym, gardening, re-scheduled garden tour planned for today.

glad we had changed it from yesterday

  3. Congrats on both of your races! Yay for the rain holding of during your 10-miler, but ugh on the torrential rain during your 5K.

    Your flowers are looking pretty up your way – I always love your collages. You take such a wide variety of really great pictures.

  4. You’ve really had some interesting weather for your races this year! Torrential rain and wind? Glad that one was just a 5k.

    I’m intrigued by the photos from Wednesday. So you can walk there straight from your house? I’m envious- it looks beautiful.

    Anyway- I hope you get some summer temps soon and yes- you’ll be complaining about the heat. But at least you can get out on the boat!

    • Yes. The water line is behind my house and goes in many directions. It’s not taken care of always.

      And yesterday was painful yet fun. And soon I’ll be complaining that it’s too hot. lol

  9. another busy week! That’s a bummer on your rainy race, but I know the drill—> a favorite race warrants an appearance rain or shine 🙂 Looks like a really nice medal!

  10. Nice job on your races! I’m not for pouring rain, as you know. But if I’m already signed up and there…. I guess i have to go through with it? It would be a game time decision for sure.

    I’ll always say it: your granddaughter is the CUTEST!

    I hate choosing the least fun option, and a meeting, at that! But it has to be done, sometimes.

    • I agree I’d rather see my friends but the meeting was the right choice.

      I had fun at the race but of course, it would have been nicer with sunshine.
