Birthday Bound for Boston

I got up a few minutes later meaning after 4 am.  I eased my way to the roads with my only goal to be  back before Kimberly left for school.  I decided to do the Scenic Hills, Niewood, Medford Loop doing 9.14 miles in 1:57:50 for a 12:53 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 381 feet with an average pulse of 120 bpm at a temperature of 21 degrees at 74 percent humidity .  My spirit was lifht as I tread along the quiet morning roads of Ridge knowing that an exciting trip with my lovely wife was in the near future.  One more week before winter vacation and Lord willing a trip to Maine. God is good. Lord I commit my way and the way of my family to You.

The Problem Solver

It’s seems as if I am constantly dealing with problems lately. I definitely make mistakes, but I know Jesus the problem solver.  I got to bed a bit later due to an unexpected trip to West Islip and back at 9:15, but I woke up refreshed enough to get a workout in.  I did the figure eight extra plus doing 8.69 miles in 1:58:53 for a 13:40 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 154 feet with an average heartrate of 127 bpm. With a temperature of 29 degrees with humidity at 65 percent.  I actually had a good pace , but I kept my watch runnimg when I had to stop for a “pit stop”. Glad to get the work in! God is good!

Feeling Positive

I was awakened by my watch alarm at 3:50.  I took a few sips from my insulated coffee cup and took a frw minutes to slowly wake up and get out of bed.  I got out the door in good season so I decided to do the Randall plus extra loop.  I didn’t bring my phone for my workout since the charging connection was bad and I had to put it back on the charger.  Here are the stats that I have for today- 9. 41 miles in 2:04 for a 13:10 minute per mile pace with an average heartrate of 115 bpm. The temp was around 26 degrees.  There’s not much traffic on this route and the terrain is relatively flat. Got
to work a couple minutes early— kimd of nice.  Looking forward to a weekend in Boston with my wife. Praying that the kids keep up their good behavior when I am God. Looking for opportunities to share the Good News— God Bless!

Late flipped on It’s Head

I woke up 20 minutes later than I expected, but decided to keep the course.  I did the figure eight extra plus for 8.85 in 1:55:26 for a 13:02 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 176 feet and a average pulse of 120 bpm at a temperature of 23 degrees and 76 percent humidity. Ended up getting to work a little early. God Bless!

Day After Fog

I didn’t get the best night’s sleep after the Patriots loss. It was a good game, but it’s hard to lose. I was tired, but too awake to sleep so I managed to do the figure 8 extra plus doing 8.89 in 2:01:17 for a 13:38 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 158 feet with an average heartrate of 113 bpm with a temperature of 38 degrees with 95 percent humidity. There were a few slick spots on the road. I saw a rabbit on Raynor about a quarter mile from home. I had two nice hikes down at Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge on Sunday and Saturday. Have a blessed day!

Long/But Good Day!

I was awakened by my daughter at 3:20 and never went back to sleep. I did the figure 8 extra plus doing 8.82 in 1:58:08 for a 13:23 minute per mile walking pace with an elevation gain of 163 feet with an average heartrate of 119 bpm at a snowy 33 degrees and 100 percent humidity. Have a blessed weekend!

Unexpected

My plan this week was to back off a little bit and do the figure 8 plus extra loop, but as circumstances have allowed and dictated my workouts have exceeded my expectations. Today I did the Randall Road extra Plus doing 9.26 in 2:03:04 for a 13:17 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 119 feet with an average heartrate of 119 bpm at a temp of 34 degrees with humidity at 75 percent. I made it to work in good season as well. A lots going on so a lot to look to look to the Lord to. Have a blessed day!
