Last Week-

  • Sunday – Unfortunately my birthday run got rained out on Saturday so I tried to fit it in today.

I hate running alone and I procrastinated too long getting started so I didn’t get as many miles in as I planned.

6 miles instead of 9 but the weather was lovely

I rushed home as we were meeting family at 11 am for lunch out.

the highlights of my lunch

We stopped by after to visit my MIL and then I spent the rest of the day weeding…

  • Monday – I started the day at the gym and then met my friend Jenny for a run later.

first irises of he season…

After work, I had my pickleball lesson. And it was so windy and  chilly 😦

  • Tuesday – After work today, my BFF took me out to dinner to celebrate my birthday. We went for a walk afterward.
  • Wednesday – I started this rainy chilly day with a visit tot he gym.

Then I ran after work with the training challenge group. It was nice to be back since I had missed 2 weeks. The weather gods were on our side. It didn’t start to rain hard until the end…

I ran 90:90 with one runner…

  • Thursday – My dentist appt before work gave me time to squeeze in a nearby run (between rain showers)…

so damp and chilly that I never warmed up…

Since I had already gotten my run, I donated books to the library book sale and then visited my granddaughter.

  • Friday- Another rainy chilly morning gym visit and mah jongg in the evening.
  • Saturday – Since I had a race the next day, so instead of meeting my running friends, I parked at the library, walked in town.

you can’t tell but that house had old chandeliers hanging all over their yard…

then stopped back at the library book sale and had brunch with my friends after.

1/2 hour before the sale started, the line was around the lot… I quickly grabbed 10 books for Heather (@$1 ea)…

In the afternoon, I volunteered at the local library’s book sale.

  • Sunday Boilermaker Erie Canal 10 miler – a new race for me and I am carpooling with two other runners (and the hubby of one is driving us.). It will be an early morning since it’s almost 2 hours away and we need to be there by 7 am.

Hoping for nice weather and a fun race.

  1. I’m not sure “race season” looks much different than the rest of the year for you, lol. But you do have a lot of them coming up. I hope you had good weather today- looking forward to the race recap!
