Done and really happy:
Happy Running! $24.95 for ONE photo!? Do you buy your race photos? Do you think they should all be free downloads? I do.

I have today off – why?
Why not?
I will attempt a long run of 7 miles.

I am still basking in the glow of my last 5k race. Hopefully it won’t be my last 5K race.
the Runners World 5k is about to begin…
And we’re off…
Uh oh…this may hurt…
Happy to be running inspite of the pain
sprinting to the finish …hoping to break my wounded 5k PR
Happy Running! Enjoy your weekend!

Warning – there are lots of photos on this page.
First on Wednesday, our Komen Race for the Cure team which has almost 70 runners on it was interviewed for the TV news.

I did run 3 miles on Tuesday & Wednesday. The runs were not great but my training runs never are. They were slow (12 min pace) with frequent walking…will I ever be fast???
Anyway, I am excited for Saturday’s race. It is always such an emotional event. (Unfortunately, it’s supposed to RAIN!!)
Next, the official Adirondack Half Marathon photos (why do my thighs look huge or maybe they are & I should wear capris?) are out.
looks like I'm having fun

Happy Running! Have a nice weekend & Good Luck if you are racing!

As promised, here are some photos from my wonderful vacation in Naples, Florida:
Now that vacation is over, I’m back to running!
3.5 mile race last night and a 5k race on Sunday.
Next half marathon training does not start until July 4 but I have to decide whether or not I am going to do the 10 miler on June 26. If so, I need to start running more than 3 miles!!
Happy Running! Good luck on any races you are doing this weekend!

I have the Jailhouse Rock 5k tomorrow and it’s been a busy week. I’m going to think of this race as practice with no expectations. Whatever happens, happens. After the race, I’m going to Lake George for the rest of the weekend. It is always a fun time and again, the weather promises to be perfect.
I’ll be competing in Syracuse next Friday, Saturday & Sunday so this coming week, I need to focus on tennis and then re-focus on running after it’s over.
Now for 5 photos:
They’re of Lake George, of course!
Happy Running and Good Luck on Weekend Races!
Fotos for Friday
OK. I have a 5K tomorrow and I haven ‘t been running….Hopefully muscle memory takes over and I can do it. My friend Mary wants to finish under 30 minutes. The problem is that I want a PR so that’s under 28:42!!!!!!!! I hope one of the two happens!!!!
Now that’s out in the open…I’m going to have fun tomorrow and focus on getting some running in next week and get ready for the Jailhouse Rock (where I won my age group for the FIRST TIME and a pair of sock!) on Aug 14.
Here are some photos from last weekend. Every year they auction chairs off to raise money. Before the auction, they display them around Bolton Landing and I run past them every weekend. This year, I stopped to take photos…and I have 9 not 5…
Happy Running and Good Luck to all those racing this weekend!!
Tennis, Running Partnership Postponed & 5 Foto Friday
me & Georgette
Tomorrow, my tennis team is playing in the Regional Championships against a team from Cooperstown, NY. I’m playing with Georgette (whom I played with in Fla in April). If our team wins, we go to States and play in Syracuse in August. I’M NERVOUS!!!!!
And now for Five Foto Friday, RunningLaur-style. I have 5 cats. Here they are:

As for running…I ran 3.5 miles Tuesday after work and 4 miles yesterday after work. Tuesday it was very HUMID. Yesterday, the weather was perfect. Neither run was. As much as I try, I stop and walk when I get tired. I can’t get motivated to push myself if I am by myself. I’m debating the 10k option but I’m going to wait til the last minute to sign up for the Great Pumpkin Challenge on Oct 23. It’s a 5k and a 10K. I’m to start training after Aug 22 (unless my tennis team loses tomorrow) & I’ll see if I am capable of running 6.2 miles!
me & Mary
After my last race, Mary & I decided to be running partners. We made plans to run today at the Crossings and then race on Aug. 7 together. She wants to run a half in October. Unfortunately, she had to go to LA for a funeral and won’t be back til Aug. 14 😦
Happy Running!
Rest Day & 5 Foto Friday
No running…No tennis…I slept til 7a. It was raining so no lunchtime walk. I’m playing Mah Jongg tonight and going to bed early. Tomorrow is RACE DAY!
And now for Five Foto Friday, RunningLaur-style. I love flowers. Here are some I took Monday in my friend’s garden:
Happy Running and Good Luck to all Those Racing this Weekend!
My First 5K and More...
