Another Glorious Run

I kept singing  'You'll Never Walk Alone' as I went along the figure 8 course again--the Liverpool soccer team's theme song.  I thoroughly enjoyed watching Liverpool play Manchester City last night at Yankee Stadium. So 9.22 at just slightly a slower pace this morning. Saw my friend Arlem on the loop again. Have a blessed day!

Nice Pace on The Figure 8

I was so glad to have a nice cool run in July-- just like my old home in Eastport. I did 9.36 miles and ran without soreness-at least less soreness! God is so good! I saw Liverpool play Manchester City tonight at Yankee Stadium. Had a great time with Char and Jqce.

Randall- Monday. Longwood Tuesday

I had nice comfortable weather for both runs.  I did 9.09 yesterday and 9.5 miles this morning. I have had a good stretch of training and enjoyed running in both Hull, Mass., and Albrightsville, Pa this summer for some variety. Oh yeah, a few runs in Hope , Maine as well.  From runs on the beach to runs in the mountains the terrain has been varied. Just feeling blessed-- good training and having all my daughters here with me. Love them dearly!

Wed - Thurs - Friday

I did 8.05,8.06, and 8.05 respectively this week in Albrightsville, Pa.  The weather changed to dry and cool for these 3 days. I switched the run up a bit running miles 1,2,4,6,and 8 fartlek style mixing up hard runs interspersed with walking. Miles 3 and 5 were run at much faster pace than the other miles. Mile 7 plus was run at normal pace. Each day I ran faster times. Family vacation is over , but while I love these peaceful rural runs in beauty I am looking forward to returning home. Family vacations are nice , but at the end everyone is tired. I'm so blessed to have gotten in these good workouts in such beautiful surroundings. I love my family.-- God is good!

Monday/Tuesday in Albrightsville.

I found a nice quiet road to run on here in the Poconos. On Monday I ran under live electrical wires that a careless person knocked down by riding into a telephone pole. Today I ran in warmer slightly more humid conditions. Yesterday, I did 8.3 and today at 8.37. I try to keep the training going on vacation without making it too difficult. Enjoying the peace and quiet of Pennsylvania.

Running Randall

It was another beautiful morning here in Ridge. Comfortable temp and just beautiful. I saw a couple of turkey on Woodlot. I used the Nike app again.
So far, it is reliable and gives me splits each mile. Lord willing, heading to Albrightsville , Pennsylvania tomorrow.  It's been difficult as my older daughter and my granddaughter will not be able to come. Tough love is tough. Have a blessed weekend. Next post should be from the beautiful Poconos!  Oh yeah, 9.01 miles:)

This Is More Like It

I did 9.24 miles this morning using the Nike App. The Runtastic App had been giving me miles that didn't exist, so I switched over-- it's a better app anyway!  I did the Longwood loop in much more comfortable conditions today. Next week, Lord willing we will be in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania. Love Pennsylvania.  Today was just a beautiful workout-- so blessed to have my daughters with me!

Hating the Humidity

I did 8 x .3 mile repeats with warm-up and cool-down for 6.5 miles. I walked and hydrated more often just to get through the workout. I saw a buck and a couple of doe's on one of my last repeats. My wife took a tick off me when I arrived home. I hate those things. The weather the past week has been rotten. Grateful for good health!

I Love to Repeat Myself

I went out the door and was greeted by 75 degrees and 76 % humidity. I cut back on my intensity so I could get the work in. I saw no other runners out this morning. I did 6.5 miles altogether. My clothes were drenched in sweat when I finished. I did see one little rabbit on Apple Court. Summer is a great season, but not my favorite for workouts. Luckily fall and spring take up half the year. Winter down here is not that bad. So enduring the heat and humidity seems to be the biggest challenge to my training. Enjoying having all my daughters here. Bekah and Katie are doing some training now. Proud of them. God Bless!

Nice Summer Workout

The humidity was gone today-- so the conditions were much more conducive to a good workout. I did my 8 x . 3 mile hill repeats again. Warm-up and cool-down and hill sprints total for a total of 6.5 miles. I saw Chuck finishing up his run as his wife was heading out to begin her workout.  Quiet house this morning with all the family here-- always my favorite time of the year. God Bless

Mixing It Up

I did 7.2 miles this humid morning. I did 5.2 and then 2 hill repeats with the running to get there and back for a total of 7.2 miles. I had to get back for a busy day ahead of me. Just getting some work in without really caring how I get it in right now. God Bless!

Some Left Out Workouts/Some In Maine/Long Island

   Sunday- 8. 1 in Hope,Maine.  Monday-8.1 in Hope,Maine  Tuesday-- 6.5 mile, hill repeats.  Wednesday- 9.2 miles in Ridge(Tuesday in Ridge too).  Very busy right now getting my daughters and now back home. Sitting here at Smith's Point Beach in Mastic. Surprised that it's cold here after a hot day. Family altogether. So blessed! Thanks for reading my blog Andy!

Back Home

I got out early this morning for a nice 9.3 miler. Felt fairly good. It was my first run in Ridge since last Friday. I saw a rabbit and a sqirrel out and about. I did the 3 x Apple Court plus the figure 8 Loop. Blessed to have such a good Fourth of July run here in quiet Ridge.
