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.

Pain in the Neck

 Last night I got very little quality sleep, although fortunately I did get some sleep. I had a major cramp in my trapezius muscle in my neck. It was painful and made getting comfortable impossible. I took a couple of Aleve which helped make things tolerable. My alarm went off super early, but I decided to keep my usual routine going despite getting next to no sleep. I did the Woodlot with 3 x the hill and the Kastal-Ridge Loop for 6.43 miles, the fab 40 , and 3 x GP Bench Presses. I still have some pain in my neck, but it’s tolerable for now. I am due to have a filling put in my tooth tonight after school. I am making it through the day thankfully! Be blessed my friends!

Early Start on the Hill

 Today was one of those days where things flowed together nicely. I had a good time of Bible reading followed by a quick of getting ready for my walk. I did the 8 x Raynor Hill. I had a decent pace going today. I am not speed walking, just trying to keep a steady pace. I saw the dog walker today as he walks in about everything. I also did the fabulous 40 and 3 x GP curls/presses. I may try to do a set of core trainer presses or presses and rows. We’ll see. There is a lot going on in our world right now. I am grateful that the Lord is in control.

Longwood

  I decided to try Longwood in the daylight, to check the readiness to walk on without slips. I did 6.23 miles, finding ice and a slip just off Smith Road. I did the shorter version going back on Smith Road to avoid more ice. When I got back I found that I had locked myself out of the house. With the help of my wife, I finally made it back inside. I did the fab 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I did an extra set of weighted bench presses after lunch. I may try one more set. Lord willing, going out for supper with friends later today. Have a body!
