10, 11, and 12 milers done!!
Next up is to TAPER and to finish up with PT, stay healthy…find the right shoes and hope for good weather.
Sept 12 – Here I come…
Last Week-
- Sunday – Woke to rain so I started the day at the gym. The weather was iffy so we decided not to go up to the lake. Instead I decided to hit a trail that was near the gym (Since I never have time when I go to the gym).
It was sooo muggy and I got a little lost…
One more because this trail was nearby as well.
I spent the rest of the day doing laundry, gardening and eventually around 4 pm, it did rain (hard on and off for several minutes.)
- Monday – DAY OFF so I wanted to go for a run. I had tentative plans with Jenny but then she said that she wanted to run at 5:15 am. I replied “Not on my day off! So I decided to run solo. My friend Heidi also had the day off and said that she wanted to walk at the Corning bike path.
Perfect – I’ll run and then walk.
Note that this is the beginning of the Erie Canal… they recently found the remnants of Lock 1)
I spent the rest of my day off doing errands, pruning bushes and reading…
- Tuesday – A WFH day but PT first thing… Oops they changed my appt from 7:00 am to 6:30 pm… I didn’t find out until I got there.
So I instead planned to meet Jenny for a walk at lunchtime. As soon as I got to our meeting spot, it started to pour!
Not a good day so far…
Finally after work, I did get his PT appt #9 (with lots of manual manipulating the movement in both ankles.)
In order to gte in my steps, I stopped off at the mall…
- Wednesday – Live teaching today so only Starbucks before work…
yup, I couldn’t resist…
and a run afterward at the southern end of the rail trail….
I do not enjoy these late sunny runs…
- Thursday – Back to WFH. It was raining when I got up so I went to the gym.
I got my run done at lunchtime before the predicted thunderstorms arrived.
quite muggy but at least there was a breeze
In the evening, I participated in the weekly trail run/walk a Zoom call (Board Meeting for STEM) and then met the trail runners afterward for ice cream (Yes, they got soaked.)
- Friday – A walk at lunch time solo (Jenny is in Sydney Australia).
and another PT appt but after work,
and finally mah jongg in the evening.
- Saturday – Long Run and Brunch. Would I be able to run 12 miles? Would I have company this week?
I ran the first 6 miles solo and then was joined by Deirdre & Sherry for the last 6.
My feet felt good (and Barbara drove so that problem was solved.)
And met the others for brunch.
In the evening, I joined a friend to listen to her friend’s band…
- Sunday – Most likely just the gym and boating (weather permitting)… We plan to invite our granddaughter!!
