Will I ever cook again?

I went out to dinner every evening except Sunday and Saturday.

Just so happened that all dinner invitations were squeezed into one week and there was also a work trip to NYC.

Last Week –

• Sunday – I started the day at the gym. And finally the rain stopped and they started work on our new deck.

Lots of outdoor home maintenance today…

• Monday – My new routine is to run before work and I did today!

After work, I had dinner with my stepson, his GF and my sister-in-law. After dinner, we stopped the house that he had bought (to see the improvements.)

• Tuesday – Another morning at the gym. Of course it was raining!!! (Poor deck workers.)

Tonight was my monthly dinner with my tennis friends. I had to miss the last month’s so it was nice to see everyone again.

• Wednesday – More rain overnight and when I woke up but it stopped so I  crossed my fingers that it would stay dry long enough to squeeze in my run.

My new AM running friend was away so I also had to motivate myself to do this run/walk workout alone.  I did it but it wasn’t as fast or as much fun.

After work, I went out to celebrate my friend’s (who I used to teach with) last day of school.

It was an early dinner so I had time to meet my BFF after for a walk.

• Thursday – Juneteenth and a Day OFF but I had to take an early train to NYC to work in Jamaica, Queens the next day.

No surprise that thunderstorms were predicted as well as high temps (yup, summer has arrived.)

So after I dropped off my bag at the hotel, I hopped the subway downtown. I was wearing my running clothes but had a jacket and umbrella so my running plans got scrapped and I just walked  along the East River and then over the Brooklyn Bridge..

I had never really spent much time in DUMBO and I enjoyed it esp since I could see rain across the river and I stumbled along a awesome outdoor photography exhibit.

Eventually I took the subway back to my hotel because I had dinner plans with a college friend.

Well, the rain had temporarily stopped so I walked to her apt….

We had drinks there and then went out to an Indian restaurant for dinner.

• Friday –  Just a long work day returning home late by train.

• Saturday – Long Run and Brunch.

Of course I was tempted to race since there was a 7 miler that I have done several times in the past

But actually I had signed up for a 5k today but it got re-scheduled to July 5. I was relieved since I had gotten home late from NYC the night before.

With all the races I’ve been running, I was happy to meet up with my local friends again and just run for fun and meet them after for brunch..

I spent the rest of the day doing errands and yard work…

• Sunday – gym, more home projects or maybe boating (weather dependent).
