Weekly Run Down for 12.29.24-1.5.25: A New Year and Getting Back on Track

Time to stop slacking off and get back out there and RUN!

Next race is in 6 weeks!!

Last Week –

  • Sunday – I had skipped my long run the day before due to ICE.

Today I woke up to fog followed by rain… but warmer temps.

I waited and waited but finally got out there…

foggy and drizzly but warmer than it has been in awhile…

and followed it with a early dinner out with my hubby, stepson, DIL and granddaughter.

  • Monday – WFH day and another dinner out planned.

Yup, I wanted to squeeze in a run… (with all the food and drink I’ve been consuming.)

I woke up to 55 degrees but then it started to rain… The temps dropped but eventually the rain ended.

thumbs up to no gloves, jacket or beanie… but it was breezy

  • Tuesday – It was another WFH day and a rest day.

To celebrate NYE, the hubby and I went out to dinner with my SIL.

So 2024 is over and well, I tried:

Dec 15-31, 2024

  • Wednesday – DAY OFF! – HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I started off the year with a race: HMRRC Winter Series #2 Race.

This is always a fun one…It’s free, starts at noon and there are two distances to choose from (3.5 and 13.1).

I chose the shorter distance… and prayed that it wouldn’t rain as predicted…

And it didn’t and it was in the 40’s.  So much fun (even though I took a wrong turn and ran 4.1 miles instead of 3.5. LOL)

so many familiar faces… love these races!!

  • Thursday – Back to NYC for work.

I took an early train, checked into my hotel and took the subway uptown to 5th Avenue to catch some holiday decorations that I missed on my last visit and headed to Central Park to get in some miles.

I walked back to my hotel, changed and then took the subway to hang at Pier 17…

Moon Garden and a great view of the Brooklyn Bridge

  • Friday – Work was in Jamaica Queens and it was only for the day so after work, I had to rush back to Manhattan to get my train home.
  • Saturday – Long Run and Brunch.  8 miles was my plan.

It snowed overnight but luckily just a dusting and the rail trail was not slippery.

I ran/walked with Deb for 4 miles and then headed in the opposite direction for 4 more miles (where I bumped into Sherry for a few along the way).

Afterward, we joined the others for brunch.

  • Sunday – GYM (I think I will rejoin!!)

This Coming Week on the Run – 

  • Monday – DAY OFF – run 
  • Tuesday – walk
  • Wednesday – run
  • Thursday –  run 
  • Friday- mah jongg chez moi
  • Saturday – Long Run (and Brunch) – 9 miles
  • Sunday – HMRRC Winter Series #3 Race, train to NYC (for work)

This Coming Week on the Blog – 

  • Tuesday – Best of 2024
  • Friday –  5 Goals for 2025

Happy Running! Training for any big or small races this winter? How did you celebrate NYE? Did you stay up until midnight? Please share.

Ultimate Coffee Date for January 2025

It’s that time of the month…

time to join up with Coco & Deborah for their ultimate coffee date.

1.Over coffee…

I’d tell you that my main running goal for 2025 is to stay healthy and have NO injuries or illnesses!!

I haven’t experienced a lot of injuries considering that I started running in 2008… and I was alm0st 55 at the time. (I also think all my injuries were not even related to running. LOL)

Knock on wood. and I never get sick…

Hopefully this will be the year for consistent running and racing!!!

2. Over coffee… 

I’d tell you that the STEM mentoring program went so well that we may offer it in the spring to train a few to run a half marathon…

3.Over coffee…

I’d tell you that many of my running friends have turned to walking or using run/walk intervals.

I find myself running alone on the weekends more than I’d like…

So I’ve been signing up for races to keep up my mojo and my pace…

Electric City 10K

March 8, 2025

4.Over coffee…

I’d tell you that I did register for a race in a bucket list location…

half marathon in DC on March 15, 2025

I’ll be spending the weekend in DC with 4 other runners…

Not my local running friends but 3 other women (Gail, Val & Ginny) whom I know casually and one (Sue) whom I’ve travelled to NYC with several times to race.

Shape Half 2017
Paris 8K 2017
Brooklyn Half 2018

5.Over coffee…

I’d tell you that I did click that register button for the race in Florida that I have DNSed two years in a row.

Jenny says that she and her hubby will do it too!!

Since I deferred last year, it cost me $0 this year and even if I don’t run it, I lose nothing!!

Happy Running! What’s new with you?  Please share.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s Friday so I’m also linking up with bloggers, Me (My First 5K and More), Running With Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and the Running Teacher!

TT: 2024 -Year End Review

Microsoft Dynamics GP Year-End Update

MY TOPIC TODAY is  2024 Year End Review.

Things did not go perfectly and so there’s definitely room for improvement in 2025.

Of course, many good things happened… and some not so good things.

Running-Related:

  • 861 Miles (lowest total since 2013)

My annual goal is always 1000…

I started the year with a sprained ankle but even if I had stayed healthy and trained hard for that full marathon, I highly doubt that I would have reached my goal.

Then on Labor Day, I got injured on our boat. As a result, I could not run for a while.

 It’s all ok.  I ran as many miles as I was able.

As always, my favorite miles were those with friends…

  • 20 Races (1 Marathon, 5 Half Marathons, 2 -10ks, 1 -4m, 1 -3.3m, 7 -5ks)

Again, lower number than normal… Quality not quantity, right?

I’m pretty sure they were all PWs or COURSE PWs… (but I’m trying to be positive here…)

One of my favorites was when I skipped a half marathon and I ran a new 5k in Florida instead (and met Jeannie Rice).

Of course, I could not leave out the fact that I completed the NYC Marathon for the 3rd time!!

  • 8 NEW Races

I love seeing new scenery and/or running new routes…

Bridge the Gap 5k
Hero 5k for Autism
Bacon Hill Bonanza 10k
NYCRUNS Manhattan Ice Cream Social 10k
Cape Cod Half Marathon
Upstate Classic 5k
HMRRC Anniversary Run (3.3 m)

High Lawn Farm Keep MOO’ving 5K

  • 10 Age Group Awards

None were speedy but it depends on who shows up…

Bridge the Gap 5k – 1st
Helderberg to Hudson Half Marathon – 3rd
Bacon Hill Bonanza 10k – 1st
Tropicool 5k – 1st
Valley Cats Father’s Day Home Run 5k – 2nd
Silks & Satins 5k – 2nd
NYCRUNS Manhattan Ice Cream Social 10k – 1st
Cape Cod Half Marathon – 1st and $75
Run 4 the River Half Marathon – 2nd
Upstate Classic 5K – 2nd

Tropicool 5k

  • Walked 4 Races

However, one was a free local race, one was free since I was a mentor, one was the day after a 9 mile training run and so I only walked ONE serious race.

Run for Women 5k (7 of us walked)

only for ice cream

  • DNSed 7 Races

Four were free local races. The 10k in Florida changed its date after I registered.  Only two big DNS.

due to injury (for the 2nd year in a row)

weather-related..

  • Mentored 3 Running Groups

STEM (victims of Domestic Violence) in the spring

and the Fall

Race for Women Training Challenge group in the spring

It’s always rewarding to help other runners reach their goals.

Fitness-Related:

  • 0 Bike Rides

Correction, maybe a few on the stationary bike early in the year when I couldn’t run.

  • 68 Gym Visits

When I was home, I tried to go to the gym on non-running days which was usually 3 times each week…

 until I decided to take break in November .

  • Hiking Mondays

Working full-time so no longer always an option to have the day off. But it’s a great alternative to running and an opportunity to visit new places.

  • 7 Trail Thursdays

The ARE Summer trail series is over…

Again when I was in town, I walked them with friends

  • Many Walking Tuesdays

Whenever I’m in town and have friends available, there were walks on the local rail trail…

Non-Running Related:

  • Many visits to NYC

Mostly due to work and always an opportunity to connect with friends, see a Broadway show and/or visit a park or museum.

  • Three Florida Vacations

In February, I visited friends on the East coast (Delray Beach)

And in May, I traveled with tennis friends to the West coast (Naples)

In December, I visited a running friend who winters in Florida.

  • Summer Sundays on Lake George

The weather cooperated for the most part… Sad that it’s over!!

  • Two New Kitties

Diamond and Domino

  • Many Starbuck visits

as a reward when I can’t WFH and so I drive past a Starbuck…

I discovered Cold Brew!! But I think my top food is the chocolate croissant or snowman cookie. 

  • My Granddaughter got older and cuter!

And yes, for the most part, I think that I was successful in finding JOY in 2024.

My word for 2021 - Joy — Katie the Creative Lady | Create, Capture, Celebrate

my word for 2024

Happy Running! How was your 2024? Please share.

Weekly Run Down: 12.22.24-12.29:24: Holiday Celebrations

Whether you celebrate Christmas or Chanukah or both (like I do).. this was the big week.

Last Week –

  • Sunday – I hadn’t run in a week!!

So what would you do?  -10!!!!!

I waited until 10:00 am and prayed that I wouldn’t freeze to death.

Deb & I ventured out in the cold and wind at UAlbany… and survived (barely).

I called it quits after one 3 mile loop…

After I thawed out, I went to see the Wicked movie with my BFF to celebrate her birthday. Afterward we had a nice dinner out.

We enjoyed the movie… looking forward to part 2…

  • Monday – DAY OFF. Again a single digit day. So I waited until afternoon for it to warm up…and went for a run.

still freezing out 😦

  • Tuesday – WFH but had to go into the office to get a few things done. It had snowed so I called it a rest day and did errands rather than headed out for a run.

Yes, I still mail holiday cards… Below is my 2024 card:

  • Wednesday – DAY OFF! I started the day off with a Christmas run

warmer than my previous runs but the lack of sun made it feel chilly…

and then in the afternoon we went to my MIL’s for a family dinner.

And I lit the first candle to celebrate the first night of Chanukah.

  • Thursday – Another WFH day so I was able to get out for a Chanukah run…

another dreary COLD day…

and some errands after work.

  • Friday – A WFH morning and I was able to get out for a walk before I headed to the office in the afternoon.

I had a hair appt after work and then it was mah jongg in the evening.

  • Saturday – Long Run and Brunch. Training began for the February HM. 7 miles!

I had decided on the neighborhoods of The Crossings as an alternative to the paths of UAlbany.

Nope!!! Freezing rain during the night…Too icy!!!

Instead I convinced Deb to go with me for an icy walk in town (with a stop for coffee.) We stayed upright and met a NYC runner in the coffee shop. (sorry no pic.)

And in the afternoon, I continued my holiday celebration out with a friend at a farm…

  • Sunday –  Hopefully a re-scheduled 7 mile long run… (though rain is predicted 😦 )

and then an early dinner out with my stepson, DIL and GD (since they were away for Christmas.)

This Coming Week on the Run – 

  • Monday – run, dinner out
  • Tuesday – walk. NYE dinner out
  • Wednesday – DAY OFF – HMRRC Winter Series #2 race 
  • Thursday – train to NYC (for work), run 
  • Friday- train home
  • Saturday – Long Run (and Brunch) – 8 miles
  • Sunday – ??

This Coming Week on the Blog – 

  • Tuesday – 2024 in Review
  • Friday –  Ultimate Coffee Date

Happy Running! Training for any big or small races this winter? Attending any holiday parties? Please share.

Runfessions for December 2024

It’s that time again. Time to get things off my chest with Marcia’s Runfessions at Marcia’s Healthy Slice…

The last one of 2024…

1.I runfess…

My last vacation for the first time was not a race-cation.

It was supposed to be as we signed up for a 10k

But the they changed the date.

Tentatively we thought that we would run this race but it was not worth the money on such a small race

Instead I ran a 10k with a new friend.

2. I runfess…

I turned down the opportunity to run the NYC Half Marathon in 2025.

Then my local running friends signed up for the lottery.

I had FOMO for a millisecond but instead signed up for a DC race the same weekend:

3. I runfess…

I got overwhelmed with work and parties this year.

I skipped several weekday runs which is totally unlike me.

I hope to get back on track next year.

4. I runfess…

My annual miles is the lowest ever…(even with marathon training?)

I’m healthy so that’s all that matters.

5. I runfess…

Having been burned two years in a row with injuries, I’m waiting until the last minute to sign up for the Fort Lauderdale Half Marathon in February.

different course back in 2021 (and it was HOT!!)

Happy Running! Anything to runfess this month? Please share.

TT: 2024 Goals

In 2023, I had 13 goals…

I got smarter and only focused on 5 things in 2024.

So here’s how things played out:

  • Run 1000 Miles for the Year.

Nope.

It’s not the number that is important but it means that I’ve run consistently and haven’t been injured or sick.

2022

I got off to a slow start and had a hiccup in September but I really didn’t have the mojo for running ALL.THE.MILES.

I guesstimate that it will be around 860 this year.

And I’m very happy with my total (even though it was my lowest total since 2010).

  • Continue gym workouts (or find another outlet).

Yes! (for 10 months of this year…)

For the most part, I went to the gym before work on days when I was WFH and not running until November when I paused my Y membership…

  • Vary my runs. Do some “drills.”

Not really.

A few fartleks mixed into my runs but basically just slow running/walking.

  • Complete the NYC Marathon for the 3rd time.

Yes!

It was touch and go after my boating accident and I seriously considered skipping it.

I did it!!

  • Continue on toward my half marathon goal (75 before 75).

Yes!

I added 5 more and I’m only going to be 72 in May 2025.

66. United NYC Half Marathon
67. Helderberg to Hudson Half Marathon
68. RBC Brooklyn Half Marathon
69. Run 4 the River Half Marathon
70. Cape Cod Half Marathon

No elaborate goals such as 100…

I hope to eventually slow down and only run one in the spring and one in the fall so I’ll have more time (and energy) to run shorter races.

3 out of 5 ain’t bad, right?

Happy Running! Did you have goals for 2024? If so, how did you do? Please share.

Weekly Run Down for 12.15.24-12.22.24: NYC and No Time to Run…

Back to NYC for work and the beginning of a Holiday Challenge.

We’ll see how this goes. I’m not good with streaks or challenges.

I’m not injured… I’m feeling just fine but can’t seem fit running into my life…

Last Week –

  • Sunday – I took an early morning train to NYC since I had to work there for the next two days. (Unfortunately I had to DNS a race this morning but at least it was a free one).

Hopefully, I run the next 3…

After I checked into my hotel, I headed out for a long run (I actually wore my running clothes on the train).

I ran around Hudson Yards then along the Hudson River, took a break at Pier 57 and then ran back to the hotel…

Then I changed my clothes and took the subway to Brooklyn.  I had signed up for a walking tour of Dyker Heights.

over 100 houses decorated and the photos don’t do them justice…

It was just as amazing as when I viewed these decorated houses 2 years ago.

On my way back, I stopped for pizza then finally took the subway back to my hotel.

  • Monday – Today I worked in the Financial District and it rained all day!!

After work, I took the subway back to my hotel, I had hoped to get in a run… Nope… RAIN…

Instead, I just changed my clothes and hopped back on the subway to meet two friends for dinner.

Recognize Cari who had just arrived back from DC? The bracelet was a gift from Elizabeth

  • Tuesday – Back to the Financial District for work…

some sights from the area in the AM and finally some blue sky at 4 pm.

and then back on the train home. Again no time for running 😦

  • Wednesday – WFH day but had to go to the office, shop and prepare something for the party the next day…

For the 4th day in a row, I couldn’t fit in a run.

  • Thursday – Today I had to teach live and then rush off after work to my annual tennis friends holiday party…

great food, music, gifts and so much laughter ❤ my tennis friends

  • Friday – WFH again… Normally this is my rest day however since I had already skipped 4 days, I planned to squeeze in a run… NOPE. Snow was my excuse this time… We even had to cancel mah jongg.

At least I was able to ZOOM with my college friends…

  • Saturday – Long Run and Brunch. 

A busy time for most of my friends.  And there was the snow… Deb, Karen and I had decided to take on the path at UAlbany and then meet the others for brunch…

NOPE!! Too snowy and slippery to even drive!!!

I guess we’ll have a white Christmas…

Mid-morning, I did drag myself out of the house to get some fresh air…

Holiday celebrations continued. Today we opened gifts with my granddaughter and then went out to dinner.

  • Sunday – This afternoon I plan to go to the movies with my BFF and then afterward go to a restaurant to celebrate her b-day.

I loved the Broadway show so I am very excited to see the movie!!

What about that long run??

Hopefully, I can get it done at UAlbany (as long as the path has been cleared.)  Maybe I’ll have company.

But brrrrr….

This Coming Week on the Run – 

  • Monday – DAY OFF, walk at the Pinebush, run, ZOOM w/a friend
  • Tuesday – run
  • Wednesday – DAY OFF – Christmas, run, dinner with the family
  • Thursday – run 
  • Friday- hair appt, mah jongg
  • Saturday – Long Run (and Brunch)
  • Sunday – walk/hike, run out with family

This Coming Week on the Blog – 

  • Tuesday – 2024 Goals
  • Friday –  Runfessions

Weekly Run Down for 12.5.24-12.15.24: New York, New York…

I met my college roommate in NYC on Wednesday (long story) to see a show and then today, I’m back there for  work.

Last Week and Vacay in Fla.-

  • Thursday- I got up early and went for a run in my friends’ (Deirdre & Kevin) neighborhood and then we all went for a hike, out to an early dinner, soaked in the hot tub and watched Hallmark movies… great start to the vacation (even if the temps were cool).

  • Friday- No run today but we hiked at a preserve, followed it up by lunch out, some time in the hot tub again and then homemade pizza for dinner and more hallmark movies. Another stellar day (even the rain stopped before our hike.)

  • Saturday – We decided not to run the Pirate 10k (too few participants). In stead I did my long run with one of Deirdre’s friends and of course, we went out to brunch after. In the afternoon, we drove to Dunedin where I met up with an old friend, visited the Fine Arts Center and the town and eventually we had a nice Italian dinner with Deirdre’s family. Vacation was progressing along smoothly. Still cool but better than NY.

  • Sunday –My last neighborhood run (I so loved running without layers of clothing). After some pool time, we spent the afternoon listening to music with some of their friends and spent our last evening together having take out and watching, you guessed it, Hallmark movies. Very sad to have the vacation end but grateful that I had this opportunity.

  • Monday –Morning flight … arrived home to rainy weather. (At least it was warmer than when I left).
  • Tuesday – WFH today to unpack, do laundry and stop by the office.

the perks of working near Starbucks…

I did sneak out in the am to get some miles done in my ‘hood.

a very dreary day that felt colder than the actual temps.

After work, I finally had time to visit with my granddaughter.

  • Wednesday – I took an early train to NYC to meet up with my college roommate who flew up from Fl. for the day. (Her return flight got cancelled so she had re-schedule and find a place to stay until the next day… )

The short version of the story is that I was scheduled to be in NYC today for work but the training got postponed until next week and we already had bought show tix.

Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and it rained!!

The show was fantastic… the city beautiful even in fowl weather.

  • Thursday – A WFH day and the only time I could run was after an appt after work…

Our STEM running group decided if possible to meet up at UAlbany on Thursdays.

it turned out to be just 4 mentors but it was nice to have someone to chat with while running

  • Friday – Another WFH and mah jongg in the evening…
  • Saturday – Long Run and Brunch.  The 6 mile run got done..

16 degrees when Barbara & I started but the sun was out which helped a lot

but I replaced brunch with shopping and making food for our party that evening and packing for my NYC trip the next morning.

obviously I was taking the pics…

  • Sunday – I’m heading back this morning to NYC for work.

I had signed up to run a free local race..

pic from a previous year…

but instead I plan to run once I check into to my hotel and then go to Brooklyn for a walking tour of Dyker Heights…

This Coming Week on the Run – 

  • Monday – dinner with 2 friends
  • Tuesday – train home
  • Wednesday – run
  • Thursday – run, tennis holiday party
  • Friday- college friends ZOOM, mah jongg
  • Saturday – Long Run (and Brunch), holiday dinner out with family
  • Sunday – walk/hike, birthday movie & dinner out with my BFF

This Coming Week on the Blog – 

  • Tuesday – 2024 in Photos
  • Friday –  5 Fitness-Related Items I’d like for Christmas/Chanukah

Happy Running! Training for any big or small races this fall? Planning any warm weather vacations? Please share.
