Back in 2014, I mentored my first STEM group.

Summer Smith was in that group and she ran her first 5k that year.

Then she did ODed.

Her mother for the past 10 years has organized a 5k in her honor (and to raise awareness for drug addiction).

I ran that race many times including yesterday.

Last Week- 

• Sunday – I had postponed my long run one day so I needed to get it done today.  I chose a scenic place to run as motivation…

I did some errands, cooking and bonding with my new kitty the rest of the day.

• Monday – I started the day at the gym…

Since I would be missing my STEM mentoring run on Wednesday, I met up with the group tonight.

• Tuesday – I took an early train to NYC. After leaving my bag off at my hotel, I took off for Central Park to go for a run. I ran around the park for a bit and along 5th Avenue…

so that I would end up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Eventually I retuned to my hotel, changed, grabbed a bite to eat and then headed to Broadway. Originally I had planned on seeing Lost Boys (I know Jenn loved it) but I decided that I would enjoy this show more…

• Wednesday – A long subway ride to and from Jamaica Queens for work and then once back in Manhattan, I met up with Cari & Elizabeth for dinner.

• Thursday – A long subway ride to and from Jamaica Queens for work again and then I had to grab my bag from my hotel and catch Amtrak back home.

• Friday- Glad to be WFH.

Started out at the gym and then in the evening I played mah jongg.

• Saturday – Summer Smith Memorial 5k.

As I mentioned above, this race was always on my radar because of whom it is dedicated to.  And I’m glad I did it..

I briefly though of adding more miles to make it a long run but due my persistent Achilles issues, I decided against it.

Good thing I did because two of my college friends decided to organize a meet-up. Since one lives in NJ, they decided that Rhinebeck would be halfway.

So I rushed home and drove there with my BFF Judy and her hubby.

• Sunday –  Gym and a hike?? I may instead do my long run (since I had only run 3 miles on Saturday)

A friend and I are going to the Autumn Glow festival in the evening
