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!

Tired but Joyful

 I was feeling a bit tired as I woke up early this morning. I know that I will always enjoy my walk once I hit the dark quiet roads of early morning Ridge. I did the Longwood loop doing 6.5 miles, the fab 40, 1 x core trainer presses/rows, and 2 x GP curls/presses. I hope to get a set of goblet squats in later. Have a blessed day!

Positive Trend

  I don’t always put a lot in my blog posts. I try to be consistent, even when I don’t have the time or the interest. I have dialed my training down, but my workouts have been regular. My workouts right now are not a major task to complete. I do feel good when the work is done. When the workouts are shorter, the interest is higher and so is the enthusiasm. I actually look forward to my workouts where they are not long or tedious. Today I did the Longwood doing 6.51 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I may or may not do deadlifts and one set of weighted bench presses. We have Bible Study tonight. It makes for a long day, but it’s always good to see the Lord at work. Have a blessed day!
