Sun, Mon, Tues – 12 week miles… no bad weather and WFH 🙂

Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat – 0 miles… rain, work, sickness, snow 😦

Last Week –

• Sunday – WS#3. For this free race, you could choose from a 3.5 miler, 10k or 25k. I thought I had signed up for the 3.5 like I ran on New Year’s Day.  But it turned out that I had registered for the 10k.  The weather was great and it started at 10 am.  So I decided to give it a go.

There were so many familiar faces (and food) which made it such a fun event. And as I did last time, I came in 2nd in my age group.

After some errands and other household chores, I went to dinner with two former co-workers that I hadn’t seen in ages.

• Monday – WFH so I hit the gym first thing (as I hadn’t been there since last Tuesday) and then I was able to meet Jenny for a short run at lunchtime.

• Tuesday – Another gym morning…

and then I met Jenny for the same run as the day before but in a different location.

• Wednesday – Last WFH day but I had to go set up for my live teaching the next two days after which I planned to meet two friends for a late run (if it weren’t raining.).  When it’s dark, as I’ve mentioned before, UAlbany is the safest place to run.

After I set up, it started to rain and my friends cancelled.  I also started to feel crappy (so I was relieved not to run  for a 4th day in a row).  Instead I walked around the mall.

• Thursday – No WFH today so there was Starbucks and my voice was raspy… (Was I coming down with something?)

Good news was than my voice improved as the day went on but I still didn’t feel great.  Again my friends bailed on an after work run but it was cold and drizzly so I did too. I even cancelled a visit to my granddaughter.

• Friday- Still not WFH…and it appeared that I was coming down with a cold.  I survived the day of teaching (with a box of tissues) but decided to cancel hosting mah jongg and relax at home.

 

And it was our 27th wedding anniversary.  Hopefully we’ll celebrate next weekend.

• Saturday – Long Run and Brunch.  As I mentioned above, our snow had melted and all our running paths were clear.  That unfortunately didn’t last as it snowed during the night and continued on and off during the day.

Some of my friends did venture out to run, some chose the treadmill.  I waited for the snow to stop and it snowed all day… I guess it was rest day #4!!

• Sunday –gym, long run, stay in bed?
