Weekly Run Down for 2.22.26-3.1.26: Back to My Routine…

What Routine?

Trying to fit in my runs between the snowstorms, work and social engagements so I am able to complete the races I’ve signed up for…

Mar 7 – Electric City 10k
Mar 15 – NYC Half Marathon
Mar 21 – Asheville Half Marathon
Apr 11 – H2H Half Marathon

Last Week –

Sunday – I started the day at the gym…

Since a big snowstorm was predicted for tonight and tomorrow, I decided to squeeze in a run today…

and though it wasn’t supposed to yet, it was snowing during this run and stopped when we were done…

Monday – WFH all week…

Woke up to snow and it was still falling most of the day (and very windy). We didn’t get as much snow as NYC but everything was closed – No gym today.

it’s pretty but enough is enough…

After work, I visited my granddaughter… and then had a drink with a friend.

Tuesday – I went to the gym before work and then at lunch I joined Jenny for her last run… she was leaving the next day for Tokyo.

sooo cold and WINDY!!

After work, my monthly tennis ladies meet up was scheduled. This time, we went to someone’s house, ordered in dinner and did a craft activity.

we made Origami Dress cards

Wednesday – More snow.. but a busy work day so only a walk in the mall in the evening.

Remember my lower back pain? I had made a PT appt before vacation. Guess what? It stopped hurting (while I was on vacation) but I decided to keep the appt. (tight right SI joint and she gave me exercises to do and return in a week..)

Thursday – A quick trip to the gym before work, a run during lunch in my ‘hood…

the sun was shining but with the breeze it felt colder than I thought…

and then after work, I had my monthly STEM board meeting… for the first time it was face to face instead of ZOOM.

Friday- A long work day with only mah jongg in the evening…
Saturday – Long Run and Brunch. 12 miles on my plan. Not a problem except that I was supposed to go to a retired teacher’s brunch at 10:30 am. Could I squeeze it in???

Nope, I decided that it would be too stressful so I was going to postpone it until Sunday.

That I looked at the guest list and most of my teacher friends were unable to go, as well.

I contacted my local running friends and we agreed on a meet up followed by brunch. Long run done!!

it was well colder than I expected and the wind was insane… at least I had company for 8 out of the 12 miles… (started in the park on the left and then continued into the neighborhood on the irght)

I also started tracking my friend who is running the Tokyo marathon but she won’t finish until around 1:30 am…

Sunday – gym visit and then lunch with a friend…
