Weekly Run Down for 11.16.25-11.23.25: Work, Work, Work and Starbucks


This was a busy work week.  I had to teach live FOUR days in a row… always a challenge to get any activity in…

But there was a lot of trips to Starbucks to keep me going…

Last Week –

  • Sunday – Upstate Classic 5k. This was a race where I was running as one of the coaches for the STEM program.

Again, the forecast was iffy involving rain and it did rain on the drive to the race but not during the race. Instead it was insanely windy. And Cold.

All the runners did fine and it was rewarding to play a part in their success.

In the evening, we celebrated 17 years of playing mah jongg together at a Chinese restaurant.

2025 (one was in FL for the winter)

  • Monday – I went to the office in the morning after a quick trip to the gym

’tis the season…

At lunch I met my friend Jenny for a short run. She chose a very hilly neighborhood…

beautiful houses but still soooo windy!!

  • Tuesday – As I mentioned above, this was the first of 4 days where I was teaching live.

1st peppermint mocha of the season

No gym visit or a run but I did meet my BFF for a walk at the outdoor mall.

holiday decorations are up…

  • Wednesday – Day 2 of teaching live.

remembered my red cup

Since I don’t get done teaching until after 4 pm, the only place with lights to run is UAlbany so that’s where I had planned to meet my friend Jenny.  Unfortunately I got out late and so I just drove into town and ran under the streetlights.

  • Thursday – Same as the day before (Starbucks and work)

what? no holiday cup?

but I did go to UAlbany to run the loop after work.

  • Friday – Last day of live teaching and last Starbucks until Dec. 17…

and I was hosting mah jongg… so had to rush home to clean the house… . LOL

  • Saturday – Long Run and Brunch.

I only ran 6 miles so not that long and of course Brunch time with my friends was longer.

finally a day with no wind… perfect for running

I also picked up my bib & shirt for next week’s Turkey Trot.

  • Sunday – I’ve planned a gym visit and some other catch up stuff.  In the evening, we are celebrating the birthday of a tennis friend.

  2. WHAT IS UP with your Starbucks- plain old white cups should be a crime at this time of year!!! It makes me so happy to get a holiday cup, even if I’m just getting my old boring tea.

    Sounds like you had a fun week as usual, and I like that shirt for the turkey trot!

  4. What a busy and fun week you had, and congrats to your mah jongg group on 17 years together!

    Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your turkey trot and your time with your family. We’ll all be participating in our local turkey trot and then I’ll be hosting dinner later in the day.
