Saturday/Sunday

I got up early on Saturday and lounged around before doing the Greenway Trail doing 10.04 miles in 2:55:32 for a 17:28 minute per mile pace with a 679 foot elevation gain with an average pulse of 90 bpm. at a temperature of 20 degrees and 73 percent humidity. Today I did 6.39 in 1:52:47 for a 17:38 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 17:38 minute per mile pace at a temporary of 23 degrees at 76 percent humidity. The scenery was beautiful and the traffic was light. This has been good therapy for my life. Have a blessed day! Jesus be praised!

Change of Course

I woke up this morning expecting to go to school for a typical Friday. I checked my phone and saw a message that my daughter needed me to take her to court for what we thought was a formality. It has since turned out that it is a good thing that I came. I changed my original plan which was for the Ridge Road Loop again, and instead did the Scenic Hills, Niewood, Longwood, and Medfors Loop doing 9.18 miles in 2:05:07 for a 13:38 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 348 feet and an average heartrate of 120 bpm at a temperature of 35 degrees and 63 percent humidity. Here at Suffolk County Family Court. It looks as if this is going to be a good day. God is good!

Cool and Brisk

Today was a good typical morning.  Everything was pretty much on schedule. I had a positive mindset— so I thought to myself this is a good start. I did the Ridge Loop workout again doing 9.05 miles in 1:59:42 for a 13:14 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 189 feet with an average heartrate of 141 bpm at a cool temp of 24 degrees at 73 percent humidity. I had a good commute again this morning. Had a nice talk with my brother thos morning. Last night I took time to look at clips of the President Bush funeral service. Have a blessed day!

Hooting at The Crescent Moon

 I woke up kind of tired. It was a long day yesterday with a couple of nightly interruptions from daughters 1 and 3. I contemplated a day off— just briefly— and then started my day. My stomach has been off a bit at times the last couple of days. Just enough of a problem to be a nuisance.  I did the Ridge Loop with a couple of pit stops.  I did some jogging to try to offset the time in the pits. My final milage left me .02 miles below 9 miles— slightly annoying, but a good workout nonetheless. The owls were hooting up a storm on Whiskey Road. I could distinguish 3 owls, each with a varying deepness to their sounds. I did 8.98 miles in 1:54:05 for a 12:42 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 203 feet with an average heart rate of 122 bpm at a cool 24 degree at 73 percent humidity. I noticed the moon wad crescent as I entered the end of Ridge road. My commute to work was a combination of fast and slow. Slow won today. Have a blessed day!

One Step In Front of ...

Lately, I have been pleased in my workouts even though it seems as if every day I am just getting by. I am working this week at getting my weight back into the low 190’s. I kind of let my weight slip back up into the solid mid 190’s. With a little bit of discipline I can get
it down. I find that I eat as a stress relief— anyway.  I did the new Ridge Loop doing 9.02 in 2:00:10 dor a 13:19 mpm pace with an elevation gain of 185 feet with an average heart rate of 119 bpm at a temporary of 39 with humidity at a dry 57 percent. Have a blessed day!

Friday/Monday

Friday I did my new version of the Ridge Loop going all the way to the end of the road until 25A doing 9.01 in 1:57:32 for a 13:02 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 215 feet and an average heart rate of 120 bpm at a temperature of 29 degrees and 81 percent humidity. Today I did the Randall extra plus loop doing 9.3 miles in 2:04:43 for a 13:24 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 190 feet with an average heartrate of 116 bpm at a balmy 53 degrees and 98 percent humidity. Have a blessed day!

Soaked

I have been blessed to get in another weekend workout of active recovery. I did the Greenway Trail with with nery a person in site for the majority of the workout. The Lord has truly blessed me through this tumultuous time of my life. I am truly blessed and grateful for my workouts. I did 7.56 in 2:00:26 for a 15:55 mpm pace and an elevation gain of 554 feet with an average heart rate of 98 bpm. I was soaked but glad to get the workout in. Jesus be praised.
