WRD for 6.14.26-6.21.26: NYC Sandwich…


NYC Sandwich – Started and ended the week in NYC..

Last Week-

  • Sunday – I was scheduled to work in Jamaica, Queens Monday and Tuesday so I took the train to Manhattan this morning.

It was  hot!!

After checking into my hotel, I had plans for 2 indoor activities.

First, a visit to a free Marilyn Monroe exhibit:

it was interesting (more pics on IG and FB)

I was done too early to get into my next stop so I walked across the street to visit Little Island:

it was too warm and crowded to stay long

The last stop was the Biennial exhibit at the Whitney Museum… I enjoyed it and could have stayed  longer but I was hungry and wanted to connect with Cari…

many more pics on IG and FB

Normally since I had spent the day before on our boat, running would have been on my agenda today, especially in NYC.

But it was hot and I was trying to rest my foot.   (LOL. by walking zillions of steps)

Anyway Cari and I did get together for dinner and dessert!!

one day, we will post a pic of us running together not just eating…

  • Monday – My normal work day: early subway to Jamaica, work all day, subway back to my hotel.

Again, if you know me, I love to squeeze in a run in NYC.

Nope, I relaxed and went to a Broadway show (Just in Time.) Most shows are off on Monday so my choice were limited but I was shocked how great the lead was and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

  • Tuesday – Same agenda as the day before except when I was done, I took the train home.
  • Wednesday – I started the morning at the gym and after work, I decided to test out my foot. I only ran a little before it started to rain, it does not feel 100% but much better.

about that bench – a local who got killed and my first ever 5k (in 2008) was dedicated to him…)

The rain didn’t last long and normally I would have continued running but I had a lot of errands.

  • Thursday – Another WFH day… Crazy week and thunderstorms on and off all day.

After work, I had a re-scheduled hair appt.

I told my hairdresser to rush because our weekly trail run was going on and I wanted to get there in time…

I did and walked it with a new friend and then as usual, we went out for ice cream afterward.

no rain too!

  • Friday- DAY OFF – The gym was closed but I did have a follow-up appt with my chiro.

My mah jongg was held at my house, that meant cleaning and setting up…

Domino is ready…

  • Saturday – Valley Cats Father’s Day 5k.

It is one of my favorite 5ks and even if I was not running it, I would go get my 4 free tix to a game, shirt, cheer on my friends and stay for the barbecue.

But I decided to give to lose my pride and give it a slow go…

great swag and post-race refreshments and even won my age group (with a PW)

I had fun but I paid for it after with  very sore Achilles.

It helped going out that evening with a friend for drinks and to hear a rock n roll band…

  • Sunday – Train to NYC for work… Broadway show and then dinner with a college friend…

  1. Ha, no I’m never patient when I can’t run. Sorry the achilles is still bothering you. Congrats on the AG award though! I hope the race was fun.

    How’s the new kitty??? Have the cats met each other yet? We need updates!

    Hope the achilles calms down- you have a lot of fun summer plans and that achilles needs to get with the program.

  4. So sorry that your achilles is still upset! I can imagine it’s hard to stay away from running, I know how much you love running!

    You get a lot of fun things done as usual during your time in NY. Nice with all that icecream!

  5. I’m sorry to hear about your Achilles pain, but look at you winning your age group despite the injury! Hope the residual pain went away quickly.

    Sounds like a fun trip to NYC with seeing those exhibits, catching a Broadway show, and meeting up with Cari!
