Mild Monday

 It was in the 50’s, but it was still as I set out early in the morning. I got out at about the same time and went at about the same pace as usual. Nothing spectacular one way or the other. This is another broken up week, with tomorrow being Veterans Day. I did a short out and back and then did 2 x Woodlot for 6.22 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x Press/Curl Gym Proloux supersets. I may try a set of core bar presses when I get home. My back is a bit stiff. I am keeping positive by looking forward to Thanksgiving in Maine! This new knee is such a medical blessing. Thank you Lord for blessing doctors with wisdom and skill.

Frosty Friday

 I was so tired when my alarm went off this morning. I have learned that regardless of how tired that you are, if you get started your momentum will carry you through. The morning is a blessed time of day. I cherish it. I saw a few deer 🦌 out as I walked along. I did the Randall route which has become my Friday walk. I did 6.37 miles at just above 19 minutes per mile, I did the fabulous 40, and 3 sets of 15-18 Gym Proloux bench presses.

     I did different exercises at my physical therapy last night. We concentrated on hip and hamstring strength as opposed to all the quad work that my therapist Jimmy has me do. I did less work than usual with more supportive and stretching work. It seemed to be the perfect amount of work.

Wednesday/Thursday

  Wednesday: I did the Kastal/Ridge/Raynor/Woodlot Loop: 6.17 miles, the fab 40, deadlifts, and 3 sets of Gym Proloux bench presses. 

   Thursday: I did the Longwood Loop doing 6.27 miles, the fab 40, one superset of core trainer presses and rows, and 2 super sets of gym Proloux curls/presses, and the fab 40.

I love the mornings this time of year. Usually it’s quite breezy and comfortably cool. The lighting is so beautiful and gives an air of peacefulness. I listen to Christian radio, pray, and dream. I had a nice talk with my brother this morning. Be blessed.

Tuesday on Fumes

   I headed out at my usual time, with the comfort of knowing that my commute should be much easier on this Election Day. I knew that there was not the pressure to hurry. I did the Longwood loop of 6.26 miles, the fab 40, and three super sets of Gym Proloux curls/presses. I might try one super set of core trainer presses and rows. Parent teacher conferences are kind of slow and we are more or less hanging out. God bless! Just too tired to put much effort into this blog for now.

Sunday/Monday

 Sunday began with the time change and bringing my wife to the church for her mission trip. I did 6.36 miles, 20 minutes on the recumbent bike, the fabulous 40,  3 super sets of gym Proloux curls/presses, and 1 super set of core bare presses and rows.

Monday- 6.17 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 sets of 15 gym Proloux bench presses. This time change has me so out of it. Today will be a long day with P/T conferences until 8. 

Tomorrow is half a day! Be blessed friends!

Randall : After the Rain

 I was committed to doing my Friday walk of the Randall Loop. I have been tired in the mornings, but slowly kind of gain a little steam as the day goes on. The morning walk is when I pray and listen to Christian pastors on the radio.  God has blessed me to have this time. It is a sacrifice of getting up very early. The reward is peace and quiet and a great start to the day. The streets were in good shape considering how bad the weather was yesterday. I did 6.40 miles, the fabulous 40, and 2 x Gym Proloux curls and presses. I felt a bit behind schedule, but things worked out okay. I am looking forward to the weekend, except that Charlotte is leaving for the DR on Sunday.  Have a blessed day friends!

Kind of Back to the Routine

  I am getting up really early, but not as early as I had been last year. My intensity is going down a bit, but that’s intentional. You need energy to live life and to enjoy it. This morning I did 2 x Woodlot with a short out and back for 6.27 miles at a moderate effort, the fabulous 40, hex bar deadlifts, and 3 sets of Gym Proloux bench presses. I made it to work on time. Thank you Lord for simple pleasures.
