Yup, looking ahead to tomorrow’s work trip to NYC where I plan to check out ALL the holiday decorations..

and then on Thursday, I leave for Florida to visit a friend (and run a Christmas Trail Race).

Last Week –

• Sunday – I started the day at the gym and then went for a walk…

I started getting ready for the holiday… a little decorating, wrapping, addressing cards…

• Monday – DAY OFF – With the predicted snowstorm on its way, I knew I had to go for a run.

I met up with my friend Sue and after our run, we got coffee and tried to figure out our flights for the Asheville HM that we are running together in March.

One of our running friends (in black shirt) is moving to Tacoma, WA so we had a farewell party for her in the evening..

• Tuesday – Jenny & I tried to beat the snow with our early morning run.

It snowed the rest of the day.

In the evening, I was supposed to go to a special showing of Wicked 2 movie (sponsored by the the UAlbany Alumni Assoc.) but it got cancelled due to the snowstorm.

• Wednesday – Lots of snow!! But I was able to get out and drive to the gym.

The main roads weren’t too bad so I went to the office…

Then I stopped at UAlbany to check the path conditions and get some steps in…

and then went shopping for some last minute gifts (ha ha, it’s only Dec. 3!)

• Thursday – WFH morning

and then I met Jenny for a short run at lunch time.

In the late afternoon, I met my BFF for a re-scheduled movie date.

• Friday – I didn’t even want to leave the house…

Eventually after work, I went to the gym when it warmed up to a balmy 20 degrees…

Mah Jongg in the evening…

• Saturday – Long Run and Brunch.  Too early to have to plan where to run before of the snow. 😦

Unfortunately we are limited to UAlbany loops or the roads.  This weekend, we chose the roads. (Smaller attendance than usual due to the weather and the holidays. I ran 7 miles with Barb,. Sherry & Stan ran on their own. Of course, brunch followed. (Sorry I forgot to snap a pic.)

In the evening, I got to baby sit for my granddaughter!!

• Sunday – Gym visit planned and then packing for NYC trip (and maybe start for the Florida trip… holiday decorating too.
