I started the week with a 15k and will be running a 5k today…

Last Week- 

• Sunday – MVP Stockade-athon 15k. 50th Anniversary.

I’ve run this local race many times and it’s one of my favorites… although I didn’t feel properly trained this year, I still planned to cross that finish line and have fun.

And I did.

I won’t lie, the hills were tough and the wind challenging.

• Monday – DAY OFF and hiking with Heidi was the plan.

It was raining when I got up so we left a little later and I had time to go to the gym before.

Then we headed to some trails that I had visited on this day back in 2020.

Most of the leaves had fallen but the rain held off and we had a lovely day.

• Tuesday – WFH all week…

But there was a Thanksgiving luncheon scheduled at my office so I decided to attend..

and then after work, I went for a run… I had to burn off some of those calories from lunch.

• Wednesday – DAY OFF for the holiday and no plans until that evening for our last STEM training run.

• Thursday – Back to WFH… RAIN all day!!!!

The highlight of the day was my monthly tennis night out…

• Friday –  I woke up to snow!!

My Christmas cactus must have gotten the memo:

Since my race was not until Sunday, I was hoping that the snow would end and not turn to rain and I could squeeze in a short run…

I ended the day with mah jongg.

• Saturday – Long Run and Brunch.

A solo run at the The Crossings while my friends walked followed by brunch…

Today’s brunch was extra special since we were celebrating one of our running friend’s 60th birthday.

• Sunday – Upstate Classic 5k (as a STEM coach).

The newbie runners’ first 5k has arrived…

I don’t know whom I will be supporting yet… I could be walking, run/walking or even running?

But I can’t wait to see how they do…
