Playing from Behind

  I have been on time by trying to be ahead of time even though I am running behind. I am just moving in slow motion d spite my best intentions. I am tired and slow. Thankfully, I have been able to keep pace simply due to getting up 5 minutes earlier. I did 2 x Raynor/Kastal/Ridge for 6.44 miles, th fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I made it to work on time. Still a bit tired. Have a blessed day!

Adjustments in the Plan

  The roads were icy in places. I started out on the 3 miles loop, but Woodlot was glare ice. After going on it once, I figured that was enough. I looped back around and did 3 x Raynor Hill and back for 6.07 miles, the fab 40 , and 2 x 20 reps on the GP bench press. I made it to work on time, and considered today a bonus and a blessing. I will be satisfied just to close my rings today. Faith is sometimes starting a workout, when you have no idea how or if things will turn out alright. Have a blessed day!

New Twist to an Old Route

 I like predictability, but I also need change. My morning routine requires a basic knowing of distance and time. Today, I tried a slightly different version of my Longwood Loop finishing up Giant Oak Road heading past Dunkin Donuts and then home for 6.38 miles, the fabulous 40, and 2 sets of GP bench presses. I’m impressed that the Gym Proloux device has helped me maintain strength and muscle size and it is so convenient. I was reminded of how special that early morning time is. The quietness and beauty of the morning are advantageous for prayer and reflection. Have a blessed day my friends. I apologize for not writing more at this time, but I just don’t have it. God bless you!

Keeping Up from Behind

 I have been able to keep up with my daily routine despite always lagging a little behind. I wish that I could get out of my own way, but it seems impossible. Today I did 2 x Raynor/Woodlot for 6.15 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP Curls/Presses. I am keeping up while feeling behind the 8 ball. Thank you Lord! Have a blessed Wednesday.

No Flow just go

  I have mentally been feeling kind of alone. This summer  time when I was rehabbing my knee, I spent most of my days Ali e. My wife was taking on our family social life by herself and I was trying to recover by basically being alone with some every now and then help. Now I find myself kind of doing my own thing while my wife does the same. Today I did the Kastal, Ridge, Raynor, Woodlot figure eight for 6.23 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 sets of GP bench presses. I felt like I was just a little bit behind schedule and off. Praying for the Lord to bless and use me and my family this year.

Making it Manageable

 The next two weeks my plan is to cut back a little bit on the distance in order to make my workouts less stressful. Today I did 2 x Woodlot for 6.06 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I made it to work in plenty of time. My cold is definitely getting better. I will have to keep my rest and sleep up. I’m looking forward to the Army/Navy game— Lord willing. I have physical therapy tonight. God bless you my friends.

Feeling the Season

  I started to feel a bit more the effects of my cold. In the morning and at night is when I feel it the most. The mucus sticks in the back of the throat and my nose runs. Overall, I am okay, but a little tired and a little off. I definitely need an easy restful weekend. I have been dealing with my oldest daughter’s emotional struggles as she is confronted with the reality of the end of her tumultuous relationship with her ex-boyfriend. I guess as bad as things were, she had hoped for reconciliation. I’m praying for this situation and wisdom. This morning I did 2 x Woodlot plus an out and back for 6.20 miles, I did the fabulous 40, 1 set of weight bench presses, and 2 sets of GP bench presses. I don’t like it when I am feeling a bit off. I don’t do so well with it. It’s definitely not a full blown sickness PTL! Have a blessed day!
