Nice Going

I did 7.37 after changing up the order of my route. Very quiet workout. Nobody else out this morning. The paces was quicker today with a bit of a spring in my step. Very tired tonight as I pen this. Good Night and God Bless!

Treading Water

I did 7.22 on the typical loop of the figure 8 plus partial Apple Court.  I saw the dog walker for the first time in months walking the opposite direction on Woodlot. I had a few good miles , but a lot do mediocre miles for a mediocre time. My upper right calf is still tight at times, but it is ok when I wear the knee brace. I am blessed and am looking forward to the walks on Thursday and Friday with no school. God Bless a You!

Thurs/Friday

I did 7.33 and 7.32 miles respectively.  I was slow on Thursday and slightly faster on Friday. I am still walking and will walk this week-- maybe longer.  I am satisfied right now with the results and the  change of pace. The weather was mild  oth days with the temp around 45.  I am grateful just to be able to train.  I haven't been afraid to change it up whether it be running, walking and running, hill repeats, walking, or biking. I'm blessed. God Bless You

Faster

For some unknown reason, I was about 50 seconds per mile faster than yesterday. The temp was a cool feeling 25 degrees. I'm loving my figure 8 plus partial Apple Court{turning around at Gingham}. The loop is quiet and traffic free except for th rooster that always crows on Lower Ridge Road. I did 7.28 miles-- walking. Have a great and blessed day!

Slower

The  conditions and start time were about he same as yesterday. The effort on the workout was the same, but the pace was about 35 to 40 seconds lower per mile. I saw the man with the dogs, he too was walking instead of running. I wonder if he is hurt or if he is just working back into shape. I did the same loop a distance of 7.22 miles. I feel blessed to get the work in. Bench Presses and Chins all finished. God Bless You!

Cold and Chilly

I was surprised when I woke up to see the temp at 20 degrees with a wind chill in the single numbers.  I'm still walking -- after briefly testing it out running. I think I will stick with the walking for two more weeks. Pain free consistency is better than painfully forcing the issue. I did the figure eight plus most of Apple Court(turning at Gingham).  I felt good and enjoyed the peace of the morning on this nice quiet loop-- all totaled 7.28 miles. I'm just feeling blessed to be back on the streets. I can walk and do squats without pain. Okay God richly bless you today!

Back Home

I got out the door at 4:28 at 28 degrees. Snow is on the way later today!  I did the figure 8 plus part of Apple Court for 7.38 miles.  The streets were quiet as I glided along.  I heard an owl and saw several deer. No dodging ice,snow, and four wheel drive vehicle in the  old today-- but the truth is, I sure do miss that place-- especially my daughters and grandson. I really enjoyed getting three workouts in Maine in this week. God is so good!
