Different Groove

 I woke up to my alarm this morning. I have slept pretty soundly since I have been pleasantly tired at night. This morning I decided to kind of change up my morning routine in subtle ways. I have an order of preparation for my workout which I changed up a bit. I also eliminated my ab workout. I did the Longwood Loop doing 6.48 miles, I did one set of weighted bench presses for 10 reps fairly easily. I found that by changing my benching slot and groove that I was able to bench and lockout without shoulder discomfort. I then did 2 sets of GP bench presses. Thankfully my weight was down this morning. I still am holding at this weight. It will be interesting to see how my doctor advises me tomorrow. Have a blessed day friends!

Alarmed?

  This is the first morning in a while that I slept through my alarm. Fortunately, I woke up about 8 minutes after and was able to to stay with my normal routine. I did back off on my workout a bit and did 2 x Woodlot loop with an extra hill up and back each lap for 6.3 miles, I did the fab 40 , and 3 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do goblet squats later and as an option, maybe the core trainer press. I am a bit tired and may keep backing off a bit for the rest of the week.  I had a nice talk with my mom and dad on the way to work. God bless you!

Really Tired

 This was a morning that I felt sleepy and listless. I actually strongly considered taking the day off. I however, made a decision to start my day and see if momentum took over. Fortunately, as I went along it seemed okay to keep going. I have been kind of in a worrying thoughts state of mind. That happens usually when I am tired and have issues that I am unsure how to handle. I have had some right foot sensitivity for some time now. I will seek help from a podiatrist soon. I did 6.48 miles on the Longwood Loop, the fabulous 40, hex bar deadlift, and 3 x GP bench presses. I hope to do a set of weighted bench presses later. I will take this day moment by moment. Have a blessed day.

Early Going

 I woke up before my alarm, but remained relaxed for as long as I could. I used to get frustrated when I woke up so early, but now I just pray and keep going forward. I am trying to keep my eyes going forward. I did 6.5 miles on the Longwood loop, did the fabulous 40, did 1 x core trainer presses/rows, and 2 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do a set of goblet squats later. I am grateful for the workouts and the opportunity to pray in the quietness of the early morning!

Sunday in the Cool

  I got out a bit later as I knew that I didn’t have to go to o Starbucks. I did the Randall Loop. My legs were feeling the strain from the day before. I did 6.33 miles, I did the fabulous 40, 3 x GP bench presses. I may do a hex bar deadlift or/and a weighted bench press. We went on a nice little hike with the grandkids. Today the Lord answered a prayer for my daughter Katie in a very explicit manner. Thank you Lord for being faithful and trustworthy.

A Saturday March in the Rain

 I headed out late in the morning as my wife left for a baby shower. These walks have proven to be very helpful to me over the years. It seems as if I am the most at ease as I am out for a walk. By the grace of God have been able to continue on with these workouts that I so enjoy. I did 9.4 miles doing 2 x Ridge/Woodlot with a backtrack to the house to change into my rain clothes. My headphones went dead so I also had to replace those. I did the fab 40, 3x GP Curls/Presses, 1 x Goblet Squats, and 1 x core trainer presses. Have a blessed day!

Tired

 Our furnace stopped working last night and I had to go get some fuel . This was done at around 10 PM.  I finished the day tired and frustrated. I woke up at my usual early time. I changed up my Longwood Loop a bit. I was going at a good pace, but I was just cranky. I did the fabulous 40, 3 x GP bench presses, and a hex bar deadlift. I am a a bit out of sorts . At least it is an easier day. My wife and I are going out to eat tonight. I am looking forward to it. God bless you!
