Not Feeling the Same

 I woke up a little later and was grateful that I didn’t have to do the usual morning rush. It was nice to have sunlight as part of the equation. I didn’t the Longwood Loop but went all the way down by drifters for 7.02 miles, the fab 40, 3 x GP curls/presses. I saw a lady on Longwood walking her two dogs. A different start time means that you run into different people. Now back to my title. My wife is a tremendous hostess and loves going all out for guests. She thrives with big groups while I long for more small group interaction.  Opposites complement each other. Charlotte’s strengths challenge me and make me better. I don’t always handle things well, but I do try.  Right now I’m closing out. Have a blessed day!

Tuesday

  I have been wanting to blog a bit longer and more in depth, but I have had pressing other matters seemingly on a regular basis. I have just been trying to get through my checklist without much introspection. I have wanted to have a bit more introspection during this Christmas season, but it seems that there is always something to divert my attention. I have been getting up earlier and getting out later, but thankfully traffic has been light so that I have made it to work in plenty of time. Today despite my best efforts I got out on the late side of normal. Everything I do is kind of in slow motion. Today I had hoped to do the Randall Loop but settled on 2 x Woodlot with a short out and back for 6.37 miles, the fab 30, and 3 x GP bench presses. My wife is always amping up during the holidays and I’m powering down. Somehow we both get through. Praying for a healthy break!

Sunday/Monday

 Sunday- 6.3 miles on the Longwood Loop finishing past Dunkin Donuts,

With 2 sets GP bench press, one set regular bench press and the fab 40.

Monday- 6.21 miles on Raynor Hill of 7 x the hill and down first inlet of Apple Court, the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls, and presses. Struggling, but with the Lord’s help it is working out.

Before the Rain

 This morning I had really no set plan to run a specific route. If I got out early, I might attempt a longer version of my routes. So this morning I did the Longwood loop going past Dunkin Donuts. I did 6.40 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 sets of 15-20 reps of Gym Proloux bench presses. The workouts have been just about right. Thankful that it is Friday. Kinda nd of sleepy now.

Back to The Woodlot

  I got into the kitchen and out the door in plenty of time today.  Despite that, I still decided to do the 2 x Woodlot route for 6.19 miles. I saw a lot of deer roaming about. Despite the early start, a couple of pit stops brought  me back at a usual time in the morning. I also did 2 super sets of core bar presses/bent rows, and 1 set of GP curls and presses., and the fab 40. Thank you Lord for progress!

Lack of Focus

 I feel a slight lack of focus at this time mainly due to busyness.  Despite the lack of focus, I do feel positive and a sense of accomplishment. By cutting back in certain areas of my workouts, I have greater flexibility in time. I am doing enough to get bye, and that is good enough. I did the Randall Loop this morning for 6.34 miles, the fabulous forty, and 3 x GP bench presses. Just getting by, but thank you Lord for your strength and goodness!

Playing from Behind

  I have been on time by trying to be ahead of time even though I am running behind. I am just moving in slow motion d spite my best intentions. I am tired and slow. Thankfully, I have been able to keep pace simply due to getting up 5 minutes earlier. I did 2 x Raynor/Kastal/Ridge for 6.44 miles, th fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I made it to work on time. Still a bit tired. Have a blessed day!
