Weekly Run Down for 2.1.26-2.8.26 – Baby, it’s cold outside…


Just trying to not freeze to death and get in some runs to train for my NYC Half on March 15.

Last Week –

  • Sunday – WS#4 (3.5m or 15k or 30k) – this was re-scheduled from the week before due to a snowstorm.  I had run 9 miles the day before and it was super cold and windy today.

Nope. I gave it a pass.

Instead I went to the gym… did lots of needed errands and then went out to dinner with my hubby and SIL to celebrate our anniversary (which had been on Jan 16.)

  • Monday – I had the day off.  My original plan was to hike with my friend Heidi.  Well, she was off vacationing in Mexico (lucky lady).

I went to the gym instead and I didn’t have to wake up super early to go.

Then I met my friend Jenny for a “frigid” run.

sunny again but WINDY!! snow buddha?

Now that I was back to being healthy, I was able to stop by and visit with my granddaughter.

she’s the cutest though I may be biased…

On the way home, I was treated to a beautiful full moon…

the photo from my car on an iPhone didn’t do it justice…

  • Tuesday Happy to report that it was another WFH week.

this is what I look like WFH (according to AI)

 I met Jenny for another run (same distance, different location) at lunch time.

not as cold and no wind but cloudy and damp… I quit after 3 mi but Jenny ran 15!!!

In the afternoon I went to the office to get some things done there.

Another dinner out… this time Indian food with two former co-workers.

  • Wednesday – Another gym morning (though it’s a struggle to get out on these cold days…)

when your headphones match your shirt…

And I did go out to eat (again!).  With my stepson (his early b-day gift).

  • Thursday – Another lunch run with Jenny trying to get out there before the big freeze… Same location as Tuesday but it was sunny today (and unfortunately windy).

In the evening, I got a walk done in the mall.

had to try the new Feb. flavor

  • Friday- It was a gym morning…

inspiration… book these shoes in 2018 ore 2019 before my first NYC half...

then cleaning  because mah jongg in the evening was at my house).

  • Saturday – Long Run and Brunch.

My plan was to run 3 miles solo and then Deb would join me for 7 more.  Afterward, the others would join us for brunch.

Even I’m not this crazy…  The wind howled all night and it even snowed.

Plan B – Mall walk… (by the time I was done the temps had fallen to 1 degree!!)

lots of steps plus some retail therapy…

followed by a Soup Cook-off to support Ukraine (with a friend)

we tasted 13 soups (and had desserts)

  • Sunday – WS #5 (3.5m or 10m or 20m)? Nope!

After a trip to the gym, I’ll probably spend most of the day cooking and packing for my trip…
