Good Workouts

 I have been trying to change little things about my daily routine in the morning. I did the Longwood Loop again doing 6.31 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I suffered a broken blood vessel in my left eye. It doesn’t hurt, it just draws comments from my students. Too tired to write more! Good Night!

Real Winter

  This year we are having a true winter with snow and cold weather. This morning I did 2 x Woodlot with 4 x Woodlot hill for 6.34 miles , the fabulous 40 , and 3 x GP bench presses. The streets were dry and clear after the weekend snow. I did extra praying this morning. The Lord brought to mind different people and different situations. Thank you Lord for the beauty and privilege of prayer to You!

MLK Walk

 I kinda woke up, but I was feeling very comfortable just staying in bed and enjoying the latitude of a day off from school. I waited until I heard the plow go by to consider going out. I thought of the Bible verse that says “Rise up oh sleeper” and that’s what I did. I did the Randall Loop but did 3 x Whiskey to Kastal instead of 3 x Ryan Avenue because it appeared icy for 7.04 miles, the fab 40, 1 x core trainer press/bent row, 3 x GP curls/presses. I did my leg work and did a 1.85 mile hike with my granddaughter Ruby. I was able to run some errands also. Thank you Lord for your provision!

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.
