Slow on the Go

  I got to the kitchen earlier than usual. I pictured in my head, being way ahead of schedule. But due to fatigue, I ended up being behind schedule. Fortunately, I did make it to work on time. I did the Raynor, Kastal, Ridge, Woodlot figure 8 loop of 6.20 at a slow for me pace, I did the fabulous 40, 3 super sets of GP curls and presses(including 1 set of dumbbell curls). My thought life has been annoyingly negative the last couple of days. Need to stay focused on Christ! Have a blessed day friends.

Sunday Stroll

   I woke up at a decent time looking forward to a day more on the move. I was met by a warm bit of sunshine on a cool morning. I decided on doing the longer version of the Longwood Loop coming out by the post office on Middle Country. I ended up moving a number of branches along the way and I took a few pictures. I ended up doing 6.60 miles, 3 sets of GP bench presses, 1 set of weighted bench presses, and the fabulous 40. I enjoy students at Sunday school, but there are other aspects of that service that annoys me. Enough said for now. Have a blessed Thanksgiving week!

Homeboy

  This morning I was tired, but I acted like I was alive and well. I managed to get a 10k in doing the 2 x Woodlot with a short out and back for 6.22 miles. I just was too tired to be my usual nostalgic introspective self. It was definitely colder this week. I am looking forward to going to Maine next week and am trusting the Lord to get it done. I am truly enjoying having my wife back home. I did the fabulous 40, 2 sets of GP bench presses, 1 set of weight BP, and 1 set of 10 hex bar deadlifts. I can sense the Lord at work. Thank you Jesus for using me!

I Thought that I was faster…

 …but I was just the same. I woke up a couple of minutes earlier this morning. My Bible devotional is shorter on Thursdays, so I thought that I could get ahead. It turns out that I pretty much ended up the same. I did the Randall route—taking several pics along the way. I was feeling a little fatigued and sore from last night’s physical therapy session. Alex is effective, but brutal. His sessions are definitely the most painful and Jimmy a close second. I did 6.34 miles, the fabulous forty, 2 super sets of presses and curls GP, and one super set of core trainer presses and rows. I’m looking forward to next week, but am focusing on the things in front of me. I will start packing this weekend for Maine. Have a blessed day friends! Ps. I enjoy talking to my brother on Thursdays.

Walking Dead

  I have learned through experience and habit that even when you are very tired, if you keep the momentum going, you can turn things around. Once again my alarm woke me up. Once again I was on the late side of on time all the way through. I felt a bit sick in the middle of my workout. My stomach was off. Fortunately, things improved as I carried on. I did the Kastal/Ridge/Raynor/Woodlot figure 8 loop for 6.26 miles, the fabulous 40, 1 set of weight bench presses, and 2 sets of GP bench presses. I made it to work on time. Have a blessed day!

Thinking Ahead

  I slept fairly well and felt rested, even in the early morning hour. It was one of the few times that I was awakened by my watch alarm. I tried to keep things moving in my morning routine. I pretty much was able to stay on the later side of on schedule. I read through my Bible readings and headed to the kitchen to get dressed for my walk. I was able to get the things done that I needed to. I did my usual Longwood Loop of 6.33 miles, the fabulous 40, 2 super sets of GP curls/presses, 1 super set of core bar presses and rows. I had to put more effort into my morning prayers as my mind wanted to stray. I was also thinking, that Lord willing in one week we will be heading to Maine. I have been praying for health for all family so that we can enjoy this long awaited time together. Have a blessed day.

Behind and More Behind

 I woke up on time. After that, things just slowed down for me. Everything took a lot of time to do. My stomach also was a bit off. Everything seemed right, but it didn’t feel right. I did the 2 x Woodlot with an out and back for 6.20 miles, did the fabulous 40, and I did 3 x GP bench presses. I have physical therapy tonight. Feeling like winter. Have a blessed day!
