Cold,Wet,Sore,Tired,Slow

In to work early again. Up and out early. Did the figure 8 plus 3 x Apple Court plus. Seems like a good loop for the next few days. Did 9.13 miles in not so great conditions. God Bless!

Double Duty

My wife has been gone for two days so I have had a bit more work to do at home. I did the Randall Road again this morning. Felt more smooth , but ran two minutes slower! Work has been challenging. Tired , but still going. God Bless!

Holding the Fort

  My wife is up in Maine after taking my precious daughters home--so it was my job to get things done that she usually does. I got up early so that I could get Jace out to school on time. I did 9 miles on the Randall Road. Not my best workout,yet not my worst either.  Glad to get the work in. God Bless!

Thursday

I almost forgot to put Thursday's run in the ole blog. I did 9.15 on my standard loop. Very sore and tired today. This was a matter of habit taking over where desire as lacking. Got her in on a beautiful morning. God Bless!

Early Going

I hit the road at around 4:25 am this morning. I did an easy 9 miles around the streets of Ridge. My Runtastic didn't record the last 3 miles of my workout-- it paused for a brief rest stop at my house I suppose. A few turkeys gobbling. Looking forward to the weekend. God Bless!

Going Round and Round

Taking the day off from school to spend time with my daughters. Not the best night last night,but decided to get out there and put the work in. Nice quiet run doing three laps on Woodlot for 9.28 miles. Saw a few deer running about. Whether times are good or bad my Lord watches over me!

Back to Work

 I did the same loop as yesterday on Longwood.  I felt a bit sore and tired though. Saw my friends the rabbits on Apple Court. So thankful for good health and the ability to run and work out. So the total today 9.26 miles--God Bless!

Friday-Saturday-Monday

I did 5.26 miles in West Buxton.  I did 8 miles in Hope and 9.2 miles in Ridge on Longwood.  So busy traveling , but did get the work in. So glad to have my daughters here with me. God is good. Back to work tomorrow!

Tuesday/Wednesday

I did 9.33 miles yesterday--very sore and tired. 9.03 this morning on Longwood after a surprise snow last night. Blessed!

Short Run on Woodlot

 I did my first run in shorts for the year. I took my shoes out on the 3.1 plus mile Woodlot loop. Thing is I did it three times for 9.46 miles. Beautiful morning at 52 degrees and sunny with a good breeze blowing from the south.The runs continue to be beautiful. Did some nice little hikes with my wife this weekend. Nice start to the week--God Bless!

Thursday/Friday

Life at work has been busy. Today as I write this I am feeling a bit groggy. I did 9.05 yesterday doing my usual with the exception of doing Woodlot twice instead of the figure eight. I ran the entire distance instead of doing sprints,running, and walking. I went on a hike with my wife yesterday at Brookhaven after work. Today I did the Longwood Loop. I've been doing the workouts,just lacking a bit of zip.  It is the weekend so I get a bit of time off the legs--although, I usually do some my squats on the weekend and some hiking through the woods.  Work has been busy--looking forward to my three Maine daughters being here for a week. Have a blessed day!

Tuesday/Wednesday

9.2 yesterday and 7.9 miles this morning. Yesterday rainy and today sunny and perfect. Extra praying being done. I love this time of year for training. Some of my best training has occurred in the spring. God Bless!

Inconsistant Workout

There were good sections in this workout and other sections that were lethargic--in other words, a typical Monday. Mr. Rabbit was out again this morning and the turkeys were saying their good mornings as well. I tripped at the one mile mark over a big stick that was laying in a dark spot of the road. I got up, chucked it aside and continued along. Life here on Long Island is a bit too frenetic,but it is never boring. Nice 9.29 miles in the books. God Bless!

Dodging Droplets in the Wee of the Morning

 I got out at 4:30 this morning as I had to take my daughter Ericka to work at 7 before I headed to work.  I was a bit tired, so I allowed myself to back off the pace. I did 9.27 miles in the new addition of the old standby route. The difference getting out an hour early makes is huge. Almost nobody is out. The workout also is almost totally in the dark. It was a bit damp out there with more rain expected. I'm always surprised when I get the workouts in for the week. To the movies tonight with my wife and other couples in our church. Today's run involved the birds serenading me with their songs--even the turkeys. Looking forward to the weekend--especially church. Have a blessed day!

A Rested Body is a Good Thing!

I headed out the door this morning feeling refreshed from a good night's sleep. My hill sprints were strong as well as my sustained runs. It was just one of those mornings when things flowed smoothly. A sunny 37 degree morning. Moisture in the forecast--but today was good. I saw a dead groundhog on Ridge Road-- a first for me. Earlier run for tomorrow with my daughter Ericka scheduled for a 7 O clock work time. Have a blessed day! Oh yeah--9.25 miles

Fuming

I didn't get much sleep last night. A fire in the neighborhood, a late returning daughter, and a more active than usual mind. Regardless, I felt decent on my 7.06 mile run. I held a decent pace--spotting rabbits,turkeys, and deer on the run. It was 32 and overcast. Blessed to get the work in. I felt well enough to run the usual,but wanted to leave reserve in the tank for work. Have a blessed day!

No Fooling

What a nice change from yesterday,sunny and 32 bright degrees. My overall pace wasn't as quick,but I hit a much faster max speed on the hill sprints. I saw a rabbit on Raynor and 20 plus turkeys on Woodlot. I was a bit on the tired side, but still blessed to be out on the roads of Ridge. All in all I did 9.18 miles on my new standard loop. When life seems to go too fast I stick to this nice quiet figure eight loop. I was thinking as I was doing my workout of what a good runner Andy was. I miss our paths crossing on our workouts. Have a blessed day!
