Raining—but not too hard!

 It was the remnants of the hurricane, but thankfully it was just a steady light rain. I was worried about the weather, but it turned out ok. I did 8.87 miles in 2:08:16 for a 14:27 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 231 feet with an average heart rate of 100 bpm at a rainy 45 degrees and 92 percent humidity. Praying for Jace who now has a mass in his leg.

Wednesday/Thursday

 It was a compacted two day period of time. My wife had to go to Pennsylvania on Tuesday because Jace had an accident at work. Tuesday night was a good busy with a visit from two of my daughters and my grandson. Yesterday I visited my friend Scott after work. It’s been tiring but good. Both days doing the Medford, Randall, and Woodlot loops.

Wednesday- 8.91 in 2:07:31 for a 14:18 minute per mile pace with an average heart rate of 102 bpm with an elevation gain of 90 feet at 52 degrees and 76 percent humidity.

Thursday— 8.77 miles in 2:08:14 for a 14:37 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 177 feet with an average heart rate of 102 bpm at 51 degrees and 94 percent humidity.  Have a blessed day!

Monday/Tuesday

 Monday— 8.66 miles in 2:06:53 for a 14:39 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 217 feet with an average heart rate of 101 bpm at 52 degrees and 83 percent humidity.

Tuesday—8.82 miles in 2:09:28 for a 14:40 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 178 feet with an average heart rate of 96 bpm at 59 degrees and 97 percent humidity. I did the Medford- Randall- Woodlot Loop.

Friday/Saturday

 Friday- 8.77 miles in 2:04:42 for a 14:13 minute per mile pace with an average heart rate of 99 bpm with a 174 foot elevation gain at a mild 64 degrees and 95 percent humidity.

Saturday-at Brookhaven County park. 8.65 miles in 2:44:22 for a 19:00 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 294 feet with an average heart rate 79 bpm at a comfortable 65 degrees and 81 percent humidity. It was a peaceful relaxing and quiet walk in the surroundings of the multicolors of fall. I forgot how peaceful and secluded Brookhaven is. The combination of the the two loops was the perfect distance.

Another Foggy Day

   I headed out the door at about the same time as yesterday. My pace was a bit slower, but I was not too far off. It was the second foggy day, but reflective gear definitely makes a difference. I am liking this Ridge loop when I get out early. Very quiet and remote. I did 8.79 miles in 2:12:23 for a 15:03 minute per mile pace with an average heart rate of 101bpm with an elevation gain of 147 feet at 63 degrees and 94 percent humidity. I am blessed! Have a great day!

Good Start

 I felt a bit more alert and rested this morning. It’s nice when things fall into line.  I did the Ridge Loop doing 8.82 miles in 2:11:27 for a 14:53 minute per mile pace with an average heart rate of 94 bpm at an elevation gain of 155 feet with a temperature at 62 degrees and humidity at a foggy 94 percent. Char’s friends the Mueller’s and her mom coming tonight for supper. A better day. Hoping that my trapezius muscle loosens up. Have a blessed day!

Better Day in the Rain

 I went to bed early last night, which helped me have a slightly better pace today. I started out in the darkness of the morning which gradually worked into a wet workout. I did 8.74 miles in 2:10:00 for a 14:52 minute per mile pace with an average heart rate of 135 bpm with an elevation gain of 195 feet at a temperature of 51 degrees and 98 percent humidity.
