Snowy Sunday

  This year has been a year of a true winter, or at least more like you expect out of winter. Originally, I wanted to attempt an 8 miler. I changed my thinking when I heard the forecast of black ice and snowfall. Instead I did the Longwood Loop without going on Niewood and finishing past Dunkin Donuts. I even ordered a protein Matcha which I picked up for the final half mile.  I did 6.46 miles, the fab 40, 1 set of Bulgarian one leg dead lifts, 1 weighted bench press, and 3 x GP bench presses. I was able to shovel out the driveway and put salt down. Sometimes a good thing just walks our way. Listening to Bible radio. Church canceled, now just sitting back for now. God bless you!

Good & Early

  I set my alarm literally 2 minutes early, to give myself a tiny buffer of time in the morning. My goal was to do the Randall Loop plus 1 x Ryan Avenue. I was able to get around decently on this Friday morning. I did 6.60 miles with, the fabulous 40, I did 1 x weighted bench presses, and 2 x BP bench presses. I was alert then, but am groggy now. The air was crisp and clear. Hope that you have a blessed day!

Two Loops and 4 trips up Woodlot Hill

 I was tired and a bit slower this morning, but I was thankful for quiet roads in the early morning. I know that the Lord uses even the mundane, when we leave room for Him in our endeavors. I am in a quiet transition where I am no longer in physical therapy.  So now I need to to keep up the leg work without relying on my PT sessions. I did 6.35 miles, the fabulous 40, and 2 x curls/presses with maximum reps. I try to work within my time frame and not to force the issue when I am too or behind schedule. I had a nice talk with my brother, telling him that I hoped to visit Finland. This is where my great grandfather came from. Have a blessed day!

Another Day on Longwood

  I have decided to do the Longwood Loop again today. Fortunately, things mostly went smoothly and I got out in good season. I did 6.32 miles, the fabulous 40 , and 3 x GP curls/presses. I had planned to blog more, but I was joined by a number of curious kindergarten students.

Earlier Start

  I set my alarm accidentally 5 minutes earlier than I thought. The good news with that is that I was less rushed today on a Monday. I had checked and knew that the Patriots won their playoff game. As insignificant as that may be, it made my spirits lighter. I decided to shake things up and do the Longwood Loop on a Monday. I did 6.32 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I feel a little sluggish today. Have a very blessed day friend!

Randall on a Sunday

  When I teach Sunday School I definitely feel a bit more pressure in the morning. I do enjoy my Sunday walks. It’s nice to have some daylight on my walks. Where the skies were overcast, there was little action on the streets. I was a little later than I wanted, but I still managed to get my workout in. I did 6.32 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses with maybe 1 or 2 sets of core trainers presses and rows. Have a blessed day friends!

Just Do It

  Sometimes with my workouts I just do what I want instead of waiting for things to fall in place. Usually I am pragmatic and take the opportunities that present themselves. I really wanted to do the Randall loop and 2 super sets of core trainer presses and rows and I managed to get the work in. I also did o e super set of GP curls/presses, and the fabulous 40. I managed 6.35 miles along the dark quiet streets of Ridge. I am grateful for the time to pray and listen to Christian radio as I trudged along. There is a different flow to my life this year, but it is a good flow which usually ends with bedtime around 9– oh, how I love early bedtime and mornings!
