Sunday: 13.1- NYC Half Day!
A
day late- yesterday was kind of busy ;) I ran the half, then had some
errands- laundry, a haircut and dinner plans. Apparently, doing more
than a half marathon in a day is weird to people, so I got a lot of
grief. I guess that's what happens when you do a local race?
As for the week, Pam and I continued our Tuesday night plans of running in the park- even though it's been less about training and more about catching up on our lives. But hey! At least we are getting out there. Plus, it was technically taper week for me, so nothing crazy. Maybe some hill work soon? We do have the Philly Hot Chocolate and Nike Women's DC to think about soon. I got my run in on Thursday as well, even if it was at 8oclock at night but I had to. There was no other time before the race. Oh, the race. I will say it had a happier ending than I thought it would, even if my left hip is not a fan of mine right now. But more on that later.
How was your week? What do you do with the rest of your day after you run a big race?
Ok, I get the haircut and the dinner plans. That's fun stuff. But you did laundry?? That just seems wrong. LOL The last race I did was out of town, so afterwards we just had lunch and hung out. There were no chores to be done, but I'm pretty sure that had there been, I would have blown them off anyway. LOL
ReplyDeletehaha, I know. I put off laundry until after the race, so I could wash my smelly race clothes as well- instead of waiting.
DeleteWow, super woman! After a race, I'm pretty much useless the rest of the day. I took a nice 2-hour nap yesterday and then went to bed for the night three hours later :)
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with that! I've done that many times.
DeleteCan't wait to read your recap! Meeting up with Pam at the park sounds fun. I do trail Tuesdays now that it's light longer and it makes a difference. There's no way I would regularly run that mountain without Lara to drag me with her!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. It's really important to have running friends to help motivate you.
DeleteYou are just a running machine! Can't wait to read the recaps! Ouch! Sound like you might be having pain in your hip. Hope that goes away soon.
ReplyDeleteOr just crazy ;) haha! Thank you!
DeleteOk, so how crazy is this...I live in New York and I've NEVER RUN IN CENTRAL PARK! I mean I'm on Long Island, not the city, BUT STILL! I seriously need to fix this!!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need to get on that! I'm going to suggest either the Mini 10k or the Pride Run 5M- bc I'm running both and would love to say hello :)
DeleteThanks, I'll take a look at those 2 and let you know if I decide to do one! Otherwise I'll just have to hope on the train and come in for a run once it's nice out!
DeleteYou should! It's such a beautiful place. You're going to love it and get hooked!
DeleteI don't have a problem doing things after a half marathon...just as long as one of those things is getting a burger and a beer! Congrats on the race!
ReplyDeleteBurgers are my favorite post-race meals as well!
DeleteWow, you are awesome! After a half I would have gone out to eat and come back home to take a nap. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely one of my favorite things to do as well!
