Cold and Wet

I decided to change things up and I did the Longwood Loop plus to the Apple Court Turnaround and back.  The temp was 39 with a steady light rain which became a heavier rain as the workout progressed.  I ended up doing 7.44 miles. Wading River Hollow road was kind of busy with speeding cars on occasion. I am grateful that I can walk and get some good distance in even though I'm not ready to run.  Being willing to try new things allows you to maintain your workouts when you can't run. God is good   Have a blessed weekend!

Late Start No Problem

I woke up a bit late, but made it out the door in just over ten minutes.  I did the Figure 8 Loop plus Apple Court for 7.29 miles. The pace was a bit better than yesterday. I'm just glad that I got in the strength work following the workout.  The temp was 37 and the weather was drizzly.  I'm just blessed to have gotten the work in this morning after a later wake-up time.have a blessed day!

Treading Water

I did the Kasal /Randall Loop again. I was even slower today than yesterday-- just didn't have it.  I tried running a couple of 200 meter segments-- but after a bit I could feel my upper calf tighten up. I will keep to the walking as I can do that without any pain.  It didn't matter the effort Injust could not keep a pace today walking . No dogs on Kasal made that part better. I am blessed to be able to workout. Have a blessed day!

Not as Fast Tuesday

I didn't sleep that great last night, so I think the extra 45 seconds per mile reflected that fact. I got out of the door a minute earlier than Monday, but after that it was a slight downhill swing. Splits were all a bit slower today with the exception of the last mile. At mile one two German shepherds came out at me. All I could do is try to keep both dogs in front of me. This caught me by surprise. I finished decent ally mixing in a couple of runs. There was some minor pain in the lower quad and the outer tendon of the knee. I did 8.04 on the Kasal / Randall loop. God Bless!!!

Great Start to the Week

Even though we are the only school on the island that is in session, this was a great start. I did my best Pace on the Kastle , Randall Loop which seems to be very conducive to fast paces.  I did 8.02 miles. I am still walking until my upper calf seems healed. I have had some mild tendinitis in my outer knees for years, the walking seems to be helping that as well. I am so blessed , now with a new granddaughter. Thank you Jesus!

Thurs/Friday

I did 7.2 yesterday on the usual Apple Court, Woodlot, Reverse Ridge Loop. Today I did 8.01 on Raynor- Kastal  to the Randall loop. On Thursday we found out that my daughter Ericka will be induced Friday morning . So this morning I saw her off before I headed out on the same main route that I did when my first granddaughter was Ryleigh as born. I've had some surprises this past year-- 3 unplanned grandchildren.  I would have hoped that the children could have been born within the context of marriage-- but I am learning to rest heavily on God's grace which I so desperately need. My grandchildren are precious and I pray for they and my daughters daily.  God is good and I am looking to Him once again to supply strength and grace that only He can supply!

Two in A Row

I did Apple Court, Woodlot, and reverse Ridge Road for 7.32 miles. A cool 34 degrees this morning. Nothing stirring. Did a decent walking pace two days in a row-- today a thank you to 5 hour energy. No school tomorrow. God Bless!!
