Races three weekends in a row and a trip to NYC and Lake Placid…

I was ready to rest and recover…

Last Week –

• Saturday – Race-Cation Day 2: Lake Placid Classic Half Marathon.

In the end, only 3 of us ran the race and the others came to cheer at the finish line.

Although it started out chilly, it warmed up nicely. The course was HILLY. I mean very hilly but it kept me slow as I walked up the hills and sprinted down them. I actually never felt tired or sore and thoroughly enjoyed the scenery. I even won my age group.

After, we had a nice lunch, soaked in the hot tub and went out to a celebratory dinner in town.

We came home and make smores in our outdoor fire pit. (Many more pics on FB or IG).

• Sunday – I was very happy that NOTHING hurt. After breakfast, we drove into town and walked a loop around Mirror Lake with some stops along the way.

We came back home for lunch and then went to High Falls Gorge…

Afterward, more time in the hot tub and then out to a delicious dinner.

• Monday – Sadly we had to head home… Heavy rain was forecast and so we left early.

After unpacking and laundry, I headed out to do some errands and to walk in the mall.

• Tuesday – WFH every day until next week…

I started the day with a visit to the gym. At lunch, I went out for a short run…

and then after work, I visited my PT since they offered Normatec boots to anyone who ran a race this past weekend.

• Wednesday – I was supposed to go the Week 7 of the STEM group after work but I got asked to babysit my granddaughter after work.  Couldn’t say No!!

So I ran instead with my friend Jenny before work. We did run/walk intervals for about 5 miles and then walked 2 miles…

Three hours with a 2-year old is exhausting.

• Thursday – Another early morning run with Jenny. Today we ran on the rail trail (after she had already done 5 miles)

and then I attended our monthly tennis dinner in the evening.

• Friday – Early morning visit to the gym and after work a quick visit to where I went to my local college (50 year reunion!!) and then on to mah jongg.
• Saturday – Next big race is the Stockade-athon on Nov 9 (a 15k). So today I only had to run 7 miles. Deb and I carpooled and I ran 4 solo miles followed by 3 more with Heidi & Deb. Afterward we joined the other 5 for brunch.

Since it was my college reunion weekend, after brunch I met up with my friends…

• Sunday –  Gym visit, then ???
