Forecast Pain

Yesterday proved to be very taxing. After doing my workout my wife and I put in a 3 hour hike on the beach with the worst footing available. To boot we also got lost. The worst of it was the terrible sunburn to go with the fatigue of treading sand for 3 hours. My workout today started ok, bit ended slowly as that was all that I had. I worked out without my shirt on to avoid chafing. The good news is that as the day progresses I am feeling a bit more human. 9.27 in 2:09:54 for a 14:00 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 303 feet with an average heartrate of 113 bpm at an early balmy 75 degrees and 99 percent humidity. On my way to the airport to get my in laws. God Bless!

Anniversary Workout

I did the Longwood Loop doing 9.5 in 2:10:14 for a 13:42 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 311 feet with an average heartrate of 111 bpm at a temperature of 71 degrees and 100 percent humidity. Have blessed day!

Friday on Randall

I woke up a bit later , but was eager to conclude my weekly workouts. My plantar fasciitis was acting up a bit, but as I proceded my foot was ok. I notice a twinge but it is bearable. It was a bit humid feeling, but at least in the early morning hour it is tolerable. I fid 9.73 miles in 2:10:02 for a 13:21 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 139 feet with an average heartrate of 120 bpm. The temp was 67 degrees and 100 percent humidity. Taking my daughter and granddaughters to the Suffolk County farm Lord willing. Have a blessed weekend.

Rainy and Warm

The first three miles were uneventful.  Average pace average feel, but then the rain came. At times it was a downpour and at other times it was a drizzle. Fortunately, I decided to do the Ridge Road Loop which is protected by trees in many places. Truthfully I was unmotivated, but I knew thst if I persevered I could complete the workout. I have tried to add a bit of distance to the summer workouts. This week has been kind of low key , but I have been able to get the workouts in. Char is busy preparing to speak this Sunday and has been doing her’s and mist of her father’s weight watchers. Have a blessed day!

In The Vacation Groove

I woke up a little before 5 , but lingered around and read my Bible before taking to the streets. I decided to do the Longwood, Scenic Hills, Medford Loop again. I did 9.48 miles in 2:06:46 for a 13:22 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 362 feet with an average pulse of 117 bpm at a temperature of 61 degrees and humidity at 99 degrees. I just dropped Rebekah off at work and am picking up the church van to bring back the tables and chairs from home to the church. Of to work. God Bless!

Better Day

I did the Longwood Loop doing 9.48 in 2:04:58 for a 13:13 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 337 feet at a temp of 55 degrees with an average heartrate of 119 bpm. Got busy and almost forgot to post. Good day with wife and her family. Dropped Jon of at Laguardia and then ate at Boston Market in Queens. God is good.

First Day

Today was my first day off from school. After a weekend of graduation and visiting with my parents who traveled here I took off for my first summer workout. I dealt with some drama pretty much all weekend , but thanks to God things finished well. I gout out a bit past 5:30 am. I did the Longwood Loop doing 9.15 in 2:07:04 for a 13:52 minutes per mile pace with an elevation gain of 307 feet with an average pulse of 119 bpm at a temperature of 64 degrees at 99 percent humidity. The weather was perfect and it was good not to feel rushed. It has been a comfortably busy day doing chores around the house. Looking to the Lord for a great summer in Him!
