Thursday/ Friday

I did 8 x .3 mile hill repeats with warm-up and cool-down with equal recovery on both days.  Both days had a temp of 44 degrees.  Thursday was a busy day at work, so I had no time to enter my workout. I am feeling the slight effects of a slight cold-- will try to get a little extra rest. Looking forward to the time change. God Bless!!!

Running Apple Court and Longwood

I had a horrible night's sleep, but after I had my coffee I decided that I was ready for a workout.  I deviated from the hill repeats and did a slightly shorter addition to my Longwood Loop.  I ran a bit quicker. Again, I have shortened and quickened things up so that I can help my daughter out as she leaves for school at 6:15 am.  I felt fairly strong and quick and was pleased to get the work in. Have a blessed day!

A Bit Tired

I woke up in time with so little motivation. To get out of bed. Once I got out I found the strength to do 8x . 3 mile hill repeats with equal recovery and warm-up and cool-down. I got through althought my morale was down a bit. Have a blessed day!

Better Late than Never

I woke up late, but managed to get out the door at about the same time.  The temps were cool, but comfortable with clear skies. I did 8 x .3 mile hill repeats with equal recovery with warm-up and cool-down for 6.5 miles.  The soreness of boot camp having dissipate I was able to make it through the workout without much in the way of soreness.  Looking to get my weight back under 200-- although I know by my measurements that the weight gain is muscle.  Weight lifting is very strong right now.   Have a blessed day!

Boot Camp Makes my Booty Sore

My wife's partner at boot camp was out of town so in steps Eric.   A bunch of exercises performed in a circuit.  I definitely pushed myself at each station.  Beautiful morning here on Long Island.  Went for a 1.93 mile hike afterwards with my wife and Spencer( dog). Have a blessed day!

Good Week

Monday- 6.5 miles, Tuesday-6.5 miles. Wednesday- 6.5 miles , Friday- Boot Camp and 1.93 mile walk with Char.  A lot going on here on Long Island-- drama and the hectic way of life around here.  I'm satisfied with the work this week, I have decided just to roll withit when things do 't quite go the way you planned.  Some rain and wind this week with more fall-like weather.  Hopefully, next week will prove to be more routine. Life too busy-- looking to Him! God Bless!

Busy Week

I did 6.5 on Tuesday and Wednesday and 5.6 on Thursday and Friday. The base workout is 8 x .3 mile hill repeats with warm-up and cool-down with equal recovery.  The difference on the 5.6 days is that I don't do as long a warm-up.  Thursday and Friday I woke up late so I stuck with the basic workout. It was a  dry trying week with some issues that tried our family. God is good and has seen me through the week.  The quality is more important than the quantity .  I am blessed to have a God that sees me through the hard times. Have a blessed day!

A Longer Run

I got up at 5:30 after another rocky Sunday night's sleep.  Other temp was 43 degrees with overcast skies. The interval work is getting the job done as I ran at a good clip.  Nice to change the workout's up from time to time. The strength training is going well with sets on the bench press with 220 for 10 strong reps.  I did 9.27 miles on this Columbus Day morning. Have a blessed day!

Blocked Out

I have been consistent and doing 8 x .3 mile hill repeats with warmu-up and cool- down with equal recovery for 6.5 miles.  I did a regular workout last Friday of 7.4 miles at a decent clip.  A couple days I woke up late and did the repeats with less warm-up for 5.6 Miles.   I 've gotten 5 running work-outs last week and this week-- with 6 workouts the week before.
    I usually blog at my break at school which is now filtered out by the web security at school. Can still get on Twitter and Facebook surprisingly.   My wife and her cousin went away on a trip to Vegas last week. I'm glad that she is back.  Have a blessed week.
