I had one of those mornings where the flow was there and things fell smoothly for me. It is nice to have mornings like this. It is an encouragement to keep going. The thing about this portion of my life is that I am not trying to always push my limits. This allows me to have a reserve when I need it. Today I did the Longwood loop again at a sub 18 pa e for 6.5 miles, did the fab 40, 3 x GP curls/presses while sitting on a pillow during curls to add resistance. Late on I hope to do a set of core trainer presses and possibly rows with a set of two of goblet squats going down to the bed and up. Praying for my granddaughter Ryleigh as she is not feeling well and has Covid. I just have that positive feeling today and am happy about it! God bless you my friend.

Smooth Going
I was pretty tired this morning. I am still getting used to this time change. I know that regardless of how tired I am when waking up, that once I get moving I usually make out just fine. I have been sticking to the Longwood Loop for 6.47 miles, the fabulous 40, 1 x weighted bench presses, and 2 sets of GP bench presses. Last night I did another set of core trainer presses and a set of goblet squats down to the bed. I had a good time of prayer this morning. My daughter turns 28 tomorrow.

Foggy Stroll
I was a bit more tired this morning, but commitment and habit got me out of bed and onto the street. I did 6.5 miles on the Longwood/Rolling Hills loop, plus the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I may try some squats and core trainer presses later, Lord willing. This time change is taking some adjustment. Have a blessed day!

Sunday(Spring Ahead)/ Monday
Sunday- 6.30 on the Randall Loop, the fabulous 40, 1 set core trainer presses/rows, 2 sets GP curls/presses.
Monday- 7.55 on Longwood Loop by DD with 1 x Rolling Hills, 1 set weighted bench presses, 2 x GP bench presses and the fab 40.
I am finding that doing a little less mileage has helped my energy during the day and actually has made working out more enjoyable. The Lord cares about the little as well as the big.He gives ideas. All you have to do is surrender and seek Him!

Saturday Morning
This morning I woke up a bit earlier since my wife was making a birthday trip with friends into the city. I prioritized getting an oil change early over getting an early start on my walk. Fortunately, things went well. I even picked up a coffee and a sandwich before my walk after the oil change. I did the Woodlot loop with 7 Woodlot hills and I did the Kastal/Ridge loop with 3 x Ryan for 7.61 miles. I plan on doing the fab 40 and bench presses a bit later. Just taking it easy for a bit. I’m grateful for a good start!

Good Recovery
This morning I was able to get in an encouraging workout. I did 6.50 miles on the Longwood Loop plus Rolling Hills out and back, with the fab. 40, 1 super set of core trainer presses and rows, and 2 sets of GP curls.My shoulder and feet were feeling pretty decent. Lord willing, I hope to get some work in on the weekend. God bless you!

Warmer Times
I headed out the door and decided to do the Longwood Loop. I added an out and back back up Rolling Hill Drive plus the Dunkin Road near finish. I did 6.53 miles on a foggy overcast morning. I went back home and did the fab 40, 1 x weighted bench press, and 2 x GP bench presses. I had a good report at the doctor’s yesterday and a good Bible study. Today I have felt a bit out of it mentally. Kind of tired mentally I am grateful for the things that I have been able to do and am looking to the Lord for my daily bread.
