It seems like I’m always training for a half marathon. Feb, Mar, Apr, May…

Well, my next two (maybe three) races are shorter distances.

Will I be able to adapt and pick up a little speed?

Last Week –

• Sunday – For the past 10 weeks, My friend Heidi and I had been mentoring a group of STEM runners.  Today was their goal race.

Since I had run 10 miles the day before, I was hoping to be paired up with someone who wanted to walk or run/walk slowly.

And a lady who only walks her 5ks wanted someone to walk with her.  Of course, I was thrilled.

We chatted about all kinds of things and she got a PR.

It was so rewarding to be part of this group and I can’t wait to do it again.

(other pics from the race are posted HERE.)

The downside was that it was very COLD!!! So Heidi and I had to warm up with a delicious brunch.

• Monday – A day off from work. I met up with my running friend Sherry to log a few miles at the Crossings, followed by a side trip for coffee and to TJs.

the sunshine was nice but still chilly with the wind

I spent most of the afternoon doing yardwork!! (It was more exhausting than the 4 mile run).

• Tuesday – A quick trip (finally) to the gym.

Back to the office for the day and a walk with friends afterward.

• Wednesday – WFH and mentoring with the TC after work.

It rained in the morning and on and off all day (as it always seems to on Wednesday) but it stopped…

Week 6 so 10 min of straight running twice… I always hang back with the slowest runner

the wind made it feel so much colder

• Thursday – Back to live teaching…

A run after at UAlbany  and then a meet-up at the mall for a walk with my BFF.

• Friday – Same work schedule as Thursday but a quick visit with my granddaughter after work.

And after several missed weeks, I hosted mah jongg at my house.

• Saturday – Bacon Hill Bonanza 10K. I have run the 5k many times but I decided to challenge myself on the hills of the 10k.

I was happy that one of my running friends offered to sign up too. She chose the 5k and we drove up together.

It was chilly when we arrived but the sun was shining so it seemed like a perfect day for racing… except for that wind!!

However, as I expected I struggled on those 6.2 hilly miles.

And the answer to question above is NO, not yet!! But we had fun and even won my age group (Sometimes you just have to show up.)

It was supposed to be a Long Run Saturday so I am still contemplating how to get those extra 5-6 miles done?  Later? Tomorrow? (Or can 6.2 hilly miles=11 flat miles?)

• Sunday –  It will be a gym visit… maybe a hike or yard work and even start packing for my Florida vacation.

This Coming Week on the Run – 

• Monday –  run
• Tuesday – GYM, hair appt.
• Wednesday – run, TC mentoring
• Thursday – flight to Fla.
• Friday – run, tennis
• Saturday – run, tennis

If you answered: New York City, you were correct!!

Again I went to to NYC last Sunday and worked there until Friday evening.

Last Week –

• Sunday – Today I took an early train to NYC.

After I arrived and checked into my hotel, per Cari‘s recommendation, I took the subway to visit the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.

My original plan was to take Metro North and see the Orchid exhibit and other spring flowers/tees at the NY Botanical Gardens but Brooklyn was easier to get to.

And it was lovely. I’m glad I went there.

On the way back to Manhattan, I stopped at the Poster House. There was an exhibit on NYC travel posters (through the ages) and one on the making of movie posters.

And then my last stop for the day was Madison Square Park and then I walked back to my hotel.

And yes, I try to squeeze in lots of activities into one day (my only non-working day).

• Monday – Early subway to Jamaica, Queens…

view from my hotel room

I worked all day but the highlight was getting together with Cari and Elizabeth for dinner (and much chatting).

• Tuesday – Same as Monday..

my kitten at home

but tonight I had dinner plans with an college friend (the one I had connected with on my last visit here.)

Fortunately, she agreed to meet later and I was able to squeeze in a short run beforehand.

along the Hudson R.

• Wednesday – Work was exactly the same as the past two days except with no after work plans, I planned to hop the subway and get to Central Park for a run. It had rained all day and the forecast was for the rain to continue.

Plan B. Bring an umbrella and visit the Tulip Fest at Westside Community Garden.

amazingly beautiful – more pics on IG and FB.

Wouldn’t you know, it didn’t rain!! So I detoured to Central Park on my way home.

never too many sightings of cherry blossoms – running FOMO!!

• Thursday – Last day working in Jamaica.  Tonight I had bought tickets for a Broadway show.

I rushed back to my hotel so I could at least run a bit…

so happy for the running path on 8th Ave to avoid the crowded sidewalk…

It was a late night but so worth it… the show was great!!

anyone read the bock or remember the movie?

• Friday – Today I worked in the Wall St area so a shorter subway ride. That meant I had time for an early morning walk

and discovered a French restaurant…

and then after work, I took the train back home.

• Saturday – Long Run and Brunch. It was a combination recovery run (after last weekend’s half) and a training run for the next half in 5 weeks. (Tentative long run plan: 13, 10, 10k+6, 3 (vacation), 10, 13) I decided that 10 miles would work and I was delighted to have company on the Zim Smith bike path..

6 mi. w/Barb & Sherry, Deb joined for 4 more…for brunch we had 5 more folks!!

Then a nap.. LOL.  Nope, errands, laundry, nails and more!!

• Sunday –  Today is the 5k race for the STEM group that mentored.

I plan to walk it with the women walked during the training…

This Coming Week on the Run –

The title says “Normal.”

What is normal?

It’s different for everyone but for me it’s sleeping in my own bed, going to the gym before work, and fitting in social/family activities around my work schedule while also getting my runs done.

Last Week –

• Sunday – Easter Sunday. I was hoping that the gym was open. I hadn’t been there in over a week. Nope.

Plan B: Go for a walk in the woods.

not much blooming yet and lots of mud but still felt great to be outdoors..

Although I am Jewish, my hubby’s family is not.  So we went to my MIL’s for Easter dinner.

Heather with grandma and great grandma

• Monday – I had today off. I hadn’t gone hiking with Heidi in quite a while so that was the plan.

That meant I had to get up early to squeeze in a run.

Then we drove to Saugerties and hiked at Falling Waters Preserve.

Before lunch, we stopped at the Saugerties Lighthouse trail.

Our final stop (before ice cream) was Esopus Bend Preserve.

we need to return to do some more of the trails but we did get to see the swans nesting spots.

We had to rush home because both Heidi and I were mentoring the STEM group at 5:30 pm.

25 minutes of straight running OY!

• Tuesday – After all the miles the day before, I was planning on a rest day

With all the rain and a snowstorm (Wed-Thurs) in the forecast, I decided that I’d better drag my feet out there today.

I started the day at the gym and then ran at lunch before the rain arrived.

the water line behind my house

Afterward I went to the office.

• Wednesday – A rainy morning so it was back to the gym.

I had missed last week but today I mentored week 3 of the TC group. The weather was miserable!!! Rain, wind, sleet!!!

• Thursday – Too snowy to even drive to the gym this morning…

I stopped at the gym for a short walk on the track before dinner with a teacher I used to work.

• Friday – Rest Day. WFH and mah jongg in the evening.

Oh and a surprise earthquake! LOL

I got this text after I felt the house shaking…

• Saturday – Long Run and Brunch Day. Ugh… where to go that would be dry. I wanted to at least get in 10 miles before next weekend’s half marathon.

I went out for 2 miles before my friends arrived and it was drizzling/sleeting.  But it stopped and the weather was pretty perfect for running 8 more.

this is the same route that I will running 13.1 miles on next Saturday

• Sunday –  It will be a gym visit… maybe a hike!

This Coming Week on the Run – 

• Monday –  run, STEM mentoring
• Tuesday – GYM, walk with a friend
• Wednesday – run, TC mentoring
• Thursday – run (AM), tennis friends meet-up
• Friday – GYM, mah jongg, bib pick up

Next trip to NYC.  I leave today for a week there for work.

Next half marathon.  April 13!!

Glad that this past week was a recovery week since the weather was a challenge!!!

Last Week –

• Sunday – RACE DAY – United NYC Half Marathon!

The logistics for any NYC race is stressful and even more so when you stay in Manhattan and the race starts in Brooklyn.  At least I had company but at the last minute, we decided on the subway instead of the bus we booked.

There were a few glitches but it all worked out.

The race was hard. It was much harder than I thought it would be but I prodded along, took in all the scenery and walked as often as needed.

We all crossed that finish line!! And the weather was perfect!!!! Win. Win.

After we finished the race, the four runners met up with our two supporters and we all walked back to our hotel.

After a LONG hot shower, my roommate, Heidi and I walked around the area before meeting the others to walk to an Italian restaurant in Times Square where we celebrated our race achievement.

• Monday – A busy recovery day in NYC. We happily got a 2 pm check out of the hotel.

I encouraged my roommate to join me in exploring Central Park. It was lovely as spring had sprung there. Then we walked back to the hotel stopping for refreshments along the way.

Eventually we joined the others for a walk along the High Line followed by a lovely lunch in Chelsea.

Afterward, we walked back to our hotel to retrieve our bags from the hotel and head to Penn to catch our train home.

• Tuesday – Glad it was a WFH day (my only one this week.)

Started with a quick trip to the gym. Brrrr…cold and breezy!! Spring??

Looking ahead at both the weather and my work schedule, I decided to squeeze in some miles at lunch.

no DOMS but I did add a lot of walking to this run (just in case)

• Wednesday –  Before I had to go to the office and then to the lab to set up for my class the next day, I squeezed in a run.

sunnier and less windy than the previous day… legs even felt normal 🙂

That evening, I attended my first meeting as a mentor with those training for the Run for Women 5k (on June 1). I worked with the beginner group and we used the Couch to 5K app.

It was windy, freezing with intermittent snow squalls…

brrrr… spring?

• Thursday –  Rest Day. Teaching live today so no time for the gym or a run (Cold and windy so not sad to be stuck indoors.).  Besides after work, I had a hair appt.
• Friday – Back in the classroom again and then mah jongg in the evening. Rest Day #2.

When mah jongg got cancelled, I went out to dinner with some former co-workers.

• Saturday – Long Run – one week post half marathon but 4 weeks before the next one. That meant that 11 miles was on my schedule as long as the weather cooperated.

Nope!! Snow/rain/sleet/wind = run postponed.

It never gets old.  I’ve seen this show so many times (I used to take my French students back when it was on Broadway and have also seen many times since.)

I was fortunate that it was playing locally and I convinced some friends to go with me. The drive there and back was no picnic but it was worth it.

• Sunday –  It will be a gym visit long run (most likely only 8 miles somewhere dry) … and then the train to NYC.  Maybe a walk when I get there? Again weather dependent.

This Coming Week on the Run – 

• Monday –  evening run or walk, meet-up with Cari & Elizabeth
• Tuesday – evening run or walk, Broadway show
• Wednesday – evening run, Macys flower show
• Thursday – evening run or walk, Lady Gaga tour
• Friday – train home
• Saturday – Long Run
• Sunday – GYM, Easter dinner with the fam

We turned the clocks ahead last night!!

It will be worth losing an hour of sleep for many reasons:

• My cats will sleep later.
• I can run anywhere after work.
• It’s closer to when the flowers will bloom.
• It will be warmer (hopefully).

Now if only the rain would stay away at the times I need to run…

Last Week –

• Sunday – Just a visit to the gym…
• Monday – It was a day off from work.  I normally would be hiking with my running friend Heidi but she was away,  Instead I contacted my friend Sherry and she agreed to go run with me.

although I planned to run the whole 4 miles with no walks, the humidity got to me but I was super glad for the company and the challenge…

Then in the evening, it was the 3rd week of STEM mentoring.

post run/walk stretching…

• Tuesday – A morning visit to the gym before work and after work, a planned outdoor walk with a friend (whom I hadn’t seen in a long time). Rain got in the way of our plans so we walked inside at the gym and then I rewarded myself with a Shamrock Shake.

• Wednesday – Another rainy forecast but I managed to squeeze my run in before work (had to work off that Shake).

the jacket, hat and gloves didn’t last long… another humid run… and a great way to start the day!!!

• Thursday – Today I had to teach in the classroom

decided to try one of the new lavender coffees… meh… anyone else try it?

That meant my run had to happen after work.  No sweat because it was light enough to run anywhere (at least for just a few miles). And the rain had stopped. I was hoping for company but my running friend had to cancel so I was solo.

I was pooped from standing all day but it got done

• Friday – Another live teaching day so there was only a quick walk at lunch and then mah jongg in the evening.

back to my favorite drink

• Saturday – Long Run and brunch day.. Last long run before the big race.  I wanted to run 10 miles. Again, rain was predicted but I was hoping like last week, we could get it done.

We did and I was happy to have company on the run and join others after for brunch…

a windy gray day…my legs were toast from standing all day Thurs and Fri and so I only ran 8 miles, then walked/ran another mile… 9 miles will have to do… as they say “the hay is in the barn”

Afterward, I had to squeeze in laundry, grocery shopping and a nail appt…

In the evening, I had bought a ticket to see this play with friends. Glad we went as it was really good!

A Shayna Maidel, Yiddish meaning “pretty girl,” tells the story of the reunion of two sisters after World War II, one having survived the Nazi concentration camps. 

• Sunday –  It will be a gym visit… and I may start packing and weather stalking…

This Coming Week on the Run –

If I hadn’t gotten injured, I would have already run a half marathon on Feb. 18 and I’d be tapering for the NYC Half Marathon in 2 weeks.

But I’m still playing catch up especially since I skipped my long run while on vacation in Florida.

Although is it still called “training” if you just want to finish the race?

Last Week –

• Sunday – Another frigid morning.  I started the day with a visit to the gym.

haven’t posted a gym selfie in a while… just wanted to show you how empty it was (most people were on treadmills or the track)

After some errands, I went to a Chinese restaurant to celebrate the birthday of two friends (in the umbrella hats.)

• Monday – Although my STEM mentoring (training victims of DV for a 5K in April) started last Monday, I was away so this was my first meet-up.

I knew that it would be the 2nd week of Couch-to-5k and mostly walking so I got in a few miles in the ‘hood during lunch.

thumbs up for sunshine and warmer temps (oops. overdressed)

I was correct in that most of the 2 miles were walking.

• Tuesday – A busy work day but I went for an unplanned run after work since the forecast was for rain the next day.

so nice to still have daylight after work… and it was warm,  humid though the wind was not fun

In the evening, there was a ZOOM meeting for those who would be mentoring in the Freihofer Training Challenge (FTC) this spring.

We got the news that the race will have a new name (No longer “Freihofers.”)… but there will still be cookies!!

• Wednesday – An early morning visit to the gym. It was a dreary rainy day and so I didn’t miss my outdoor run.

I did go to the office and had to stop on the way to …

yes, my office desk still has running-related items on it…

and then after work, I visited my granddaughter.

still cute as ever

The wind in the evening/night was insane… so glad that we didn’t lose power.

• Thursday – I briefly contemplated running before work.

Not happening… wasn’t it just 60 degrees a few days ago?

So I waited until lunch and …

sun was out but… brrr

I finally dragged myself out to the rail trail after work… and I couldn’t believe how cold I was!!

it was sooo windy and I couldn’t wait to get done and be back in my warm car!!

• Friday – Just a morning visit to the gym and mah jongg in the evening.

• Saturday –  FOMO on a race I would have liked to have run…

Electric 5 Miler was now a 10k

but it was Long Run and brunch day… 12 miles on the plan and rain in the forecast.

We made the decision to run no matter what… and it never rained until we were done and at brunch!!

prepared for rain but after 4 mi, got rid of the jacket, extra shirt and gloves…

• Sunday –  It will be a gym visit… maybe a hike since the temps look to be rising.

This Coming Week on the Run – 

• Monday – Day Off so hopefully a hike or a run, STEM mentoring
• Tuesday – GYM
• Wednesday – run (lunch)
• Thursday – run (after work)
• Friday – GYM, mah jongg
• Saturday – Long Run (10 mi.)

Brrr!

Just as I finally got acclimated to the warmer temps and humidity, I’m back!!

Two Weeks Ago –

• Sunday – I thought that I might participate in the last HMRRC race.

sad to miss hanging out with these runners…

But due to an impending snowstorm, I decided to leave a day early on my trip. Hence, I had a lot to do.

I did get in one last trip to the gym and then spent the rest of the day on errands, packing and cooking (to feed the hubby while I’m gone…)

• Monday – Early morning flight to West Palm Beach, FL.  I picked up my rental car and drove to my friend, Fonda’s in Delray Beach.

It was sunny and very warm so we hung out at the pool and then visited my favorite place to walk and bird watch – Wakodahatchee Wetlands.

• Tuesday – It’s hard to get motivated to run when on vacation but I forced myself to get up early and head to Lake Ida to get in a few miles.

And since it was still early, I drove to the beach and walked for while.

The weather was perfect for soaking up some Vitamin D so Fonda and I returned to the beach and spent the afternoon there.

the pictures on the right were from my morning walk…

• Wednesday – Galentines’s Day and a planned meet-up with blogger Jenny.

But first, I drove to beach to see the sun rise and it was just perfect.  I also had enough time to walk along the beach and pick up some pretty shells.

saw a wedding proposal too…

Then I met Jenny to walk at one of her favorite trails… two hours later we were done and headed to Starbuck’s to continue chatting.

it was so nice to chat with her…

Next, I stopped off at Gumbo Limbo because I wanted to meet Cari‘s mom who volunteers there. I hadn’t been there in years so I stayed for a quick visit (Unfortunately, they are renovating so the rescued turtles were housed elsewhere.)

still lots of interesting fish to see and a butterfly garden

I got back in time to meet Fonda at the pool and then we had dinner out with two of her friends.

• Thursday –Another busy day in sunny Delray Beach, Florida. I started with some running in Boca Delray, the golf community where Fonda lives

followed by walking at Delray Oaks Natural Area Trail

and the El Rio Trail.

a great place to bike but otherwise disappointing (just a paved road)

The afternoon was spent with Fonda at Morakami Japanese Gardens. We ate lunch there and walked around the beautiful gardens.

beautiful trees, flowers, waterfalls, statues, alligators, birds, fish, turtles, iguanas and more..

Then I switched lodging. I would be staying 3 nights with my tennis friend Laurie who also lived in Delray Beach.

Tonight we had a planned outing to the Delray Open tennis tournament. We saw two great matches.

a exciting 3-setter with 2 unknowns and a nail biting win (7-6, 7-6) by Tiafoe (that ended at midnight)

• Friday – This morning, I met a former co-worker for a walk/chat and bird watching at Green Cay.

afterward, we joined her hubby for lunch at a nearby deli

Then another perfect beach day with my friend Laurie. On the way home, we stopped at the Pinball Museum (so much fun playing on the old machines) before going to a Mexican restaurant for dinner.

• Saturday – FOMO. No half marathon this trip as I deferred the A1A Publix Fort Lauderdale Half marathon until next year.

So instead I signed up for a 5k. What was I thinking… an early start and a longish drive.

I kinda forgot about the race and had Mexican food and margaritas for dinner the night before and we went to bed after midnight.

But I did go and my friend Laurie came too. She walked her first 5k.  We had a blast.

won my AG and met Jeannie Rice – what a day!

After a free breakfast at the race, we decided to take the long way home and drove along the coast all the way to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

Mar-A-Lago on the bottom right

Last Week –

• Sunday – This morning I moved to my last stop. 2 nights staying at my college roommate, Barbara’s in Boca Raton.

We were planning to go to an arts festival or the beach.

Nope!  I had my first rainy vacation day.

Plan B – a French movie, a walk in the mall, happy hour, and then a nice dinner out.

a surprise meet-up in the mall with someone who was in the group we went to France with during our junior of college.

• Monday – Phew, the rain only lasted one day. I started the day with a run around Barbara’s community.

Then we drove to the Coconut Grove Arts Festival in Miami. The weather was lovely and there was lots to see (and many freebies.)

On the way home, Barbara insisted that I had to eat at Jaxson’s.

the diet starts when I get home… we did share that foot long hot dog…

In the evening, we went to hear a great Motown group that was playing at a club in Delray Beach.

• Tuesday – My last day in Florida. 😦

You know that my favorite Florida thing to do is watch the sun rise on the beach.  The weather cooperated and it was again perfect!!

Eventually it was time to say good-by and return my rental car and fly home.

• Wednesday – I was pooped but I dragged myself out of bed to go to the gym… it had been a long time since my last visit.

UGH!!

It was a work from home day so I could wait until the temps warmed up to go for a lunch run.

the sun made it feel warmer than the temps and just in case you missed pics of Diamond..

I agreed to volunteer with STEM, a group that trains victims of domestic violence to run a 5k. I was scheduled for Mondays but I was away.  I had planned to go tonight but I was too busy with unpacking and laundry.

• Thursday –  A busy work day but at least again I was WFH so I squeezed in my run before work. It was less windy and warmer than the day before…

I need to start the day like this more often…

Then after work, my monthly dinner with my tennis friends was scheduled.

• Friday – Gym morning, then just work and mah jongg in the evening.
• Saturday – Long Run. I ran 10 miles two weeks ago and last weekend only a 5k, so this week, 11 miles was on my schedule as I prepare for the NYC Half on March 17.

It was cold!! And windy! But I had company for most of the run!  Brunch was the best part. LOL

too cold for a runfie… ran/walked the first 4 w/Barbara and then ran the next 4 w/Stan & Sherry, dragged myself thru the last 3 – feeling very out of shape!!

• Sunday- A visit to the gym and birthday party for 2 friends
