Nice Conditions

It was 63 degrees and dry this morning on my 32 mile ride. I was passed by Karl Hart riders. I kept pace for awhile until the signal was made-- I could not keep pace after that. I was a bit tired this morning,but by end I was ok. Nice to be home. God bless!

32 in Long Island

I was glad to get out this morning on my bicycle. I was a bit tired so I backed off a little bit. I love this route with it's fields and trees. Will attempt to ride this week and then possibly return to running next week. God Bless!

Friday 6.2 and Saturday 6.2

I put these workouts in dailymile in that its easier to log on with my phone. So here is a little blogging after the fact. I enjoyed once again running the dirt roads of Pennsylvania. The hills were challenging as I ran past ponds,streets ,and wildlife.  It was nice training in such beautiful surroundings. The most important thing is that I got to spend time with my wonderful blended family. There are always challenges when blending a family,but thankfully with the Lords help things are always improving. Blessed to have this special time in the Poconos!

Wednesday and Thursday in the Poconos :Cool Running

I did my 6.2 miles on Wednesday and Thursday. It was 64 yesterday and 50 degrees this morning. Feeling strong and at the same time feeling the steep hills. I'm always glad when I hit Mqple Street since that marks the end of the series of hills. I was tired after a long day yesterday spent at Knoebles Amusement park in Elysburg,Pa. Blessed to be able to workout in this beautiful place!

Day 2: Wet Roads and Clouds

 I didn't see any wildlife this morning. I was a little tired when I woke up,but as the workout progressed I felt better. Ended the workout feeling just fine. Now at the end of the day,my shoulders are feeling sore from swimming and climbing up the iceberg 20 plus times. 6.2 miles.

6.2 Will Do With this Amazing View

I slept horribly last night,all the same I woke up at 5:50 am. I did my sit-ups and stretching then headed out doing my 5 K loop twice. This is one of my favorite workout loops. I saw a couple of deer,a turkey,a partrige,and a couple of walkers. There are some steep hills on these mostly dirt roads. Nice start to the week--tired now,from lack of sleep--luckily not doing much. Going to a place tonight that ser es

Goal Accomplished

I wanted to get five days of biking in to beat the heat and thankfully the goal was accomplished. I did 32 miles with extra pick-UPS thrown in with two off days coming up. God is good and am blessed to have another week in the books. Off to the Pocono's next week. My running loop out there is one of my favorite runs. The peace and solitude I feel on that route is wonderful. Enjoying my time with my precious daughters. God Bless!

Better Day

It was 79 and extremely humid before 6 am here in Ridge. I did 32 miles with some pick-UPS included--pedalling in lower gears. There are parts of this route that remind me of Maine. Having all my daughters here reminds me of how precious they are to me. Blessed to have good health and good workouts.

Sore in the Saddle

I did another 32 miler.with less oomph than yesterday. I did several intervals standing on the bike to giving my aching butt a break. Turned out to be.a great idea. 77 and.humid at 6am,give me a break. Have a blessed day.

Deuce

Day two of biking. 75 and humid at 6 am. The wind was in my face on the way back on my loop. Lots of cars take no pity on a biker.  On my way back at the 22 mile mark a biker passed me. I decided I didn't like it so I made haste and passed him shortly after not to be heard of again. Some guys I can't re-take,but it's nice when I can keep the edge. I'm glad I brought water. Felt a bit peeked by the end of the run. God Bless All!

32 Biking in Ridge

I got out at 6:30 on my Dawes hybrid bike.It was nice to bike again. It has been my routine for the past two summers here in Ridge. Saw other bikers out and about. I love this route,especially the back road in Calverton that takes me past Grumman and the golf course--reminds me of Maine. Blessed to have a good workout in beautiful surroundings.

Change of Plans

It was 69,drizzly,with lots of fog. I was hoping to bike,but I decided against it. Hopefully next week,that's the plan anyways--subject to change. The hip was fine and ran within myself. A group of lady runners ran by me going in the opposite direction. Blessed to get the workout in--thankfully the intervention with my http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2117940236635878577#editor/target=post;postID=5497695505240874505http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2117940236635878577#editor/target=post;postID=5497695505240874505

A Day Off.is.Not.a Day Wasted

I did two sets of twenty-five sit-ups . I decided my hip needed intervention of ice and ibuprofen. Luckily it is responding very well. I think I will switch to biking-- at least for tomorrow,maybe next week. I've been going back and forth from running to biking for some time now. So when my body feels beat down from one,I can switch to the other. One of the advantages of working out for

Nice Start

I did 8.3 in 70+% humidity and 76 degrees at 5:30 am. Only one person was out with my earlier start with the exception of three turkeys. My left hip is a little stiff,but not painful-- will monitor with only one workout left for the week and two off days coming up. Good to see my old friend Andy training again. God Bless!

I've Been Running Just Not Blogging

I've been putting the last few weeks only on dailymile.com,sorry. My computer is at work ,and being a teacher I've been away from work for three weeks. I've maintained my workouts doing around 40 miles a week or so. My strength work has also been on par. Last week I did 4 workouts in Hope,Maine-- those  hills and horseflies were killers. This week so far Mon.- 8.5 miles   Tues.- 8.3 miles. Wed.- 8.3 miles.  To sum,the workouts have been done in hot and humid conditions almost since the end of school. My daughters are all here-- wish they were here all the time! I've been blessed to be consistent in my workouts. I've seen all sorts of wildlife- turkeys,rabbits,and deer,all with their young. I will get back to my regular blogging,but once again all these workouts were on dailymile under Eric C. Pendleton. God Bless!
