Randall Again

 Friday- After sticking to Raynor Hill for the week and shoveling for 6 hours for the other workout, I decided to try another route as the roads were improving. I did the Raynor route plus an out and back going across Whiskey Road to the second telephone pole on the left and back. I did 6.71 miles, the fab 40, 1 x weighted bench press, and 2 x GP bench presses. My weight is slowly going down. With the Lord’s help, I trust that I will keep losing weight. I felt pretty good this week and I am grateful for that. Have a blessed weekend!

Wednesday- Thursday

 Wednesday- I finally went back to school. The workout was snow free, but the commute was not. I have been doing the 8 x Raynor Hill since it is a reliable surface at a time when many roads are slippery and ice covered. I did 6.44 miles, did the fab 40, and did 3 x GP Bench presses. It was a good workout, but a slow commute. I am grateful for safety in both.

Thursday- I did 6.45 miles with 8 x Raynor Hill, the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I may try a core trainer press later when I get home. It’s a short week, but it seems that I am playing catchup. I had a nice commute and chat with my brother today. I’m grateful that you take time to read this blog. I have been brief in my blog clips, but I try to give a gyst of what’s going on, even when I don’t have time for the details.

Blizzard-Raynor Hill

 Monday- I slept in and watched TV with my wife as school was canceled due to the blizzard and heavy snow. My workout was the 6 hours of shoveling that I had to do to clear my house. My shoulders were so tired and my legs fatigued from pushing the snow up the steep snow bank. I wasn’t moving so fast when I came in from outside. I ate, hit the shower, then went to bed. 

  Tuesday- This morning I got out a bit later as I didn’t have school again. I did the Raynor hill times 8. I didn’t do the little out and back in Apple Court as it was too icy. I did the extra interval instead of doing 7 hill intervals for 6.33 miles. I am working on my 3 x GP curls/presses. I will do a fab 40 later. Just kind of relaxing now. So grateful for the time to recharge. Have a blessed day.

Back in Ridge

 I enjoyed sleeping in my own bed. I could have stayed in bed , , but with bad weather coming I had to take advantage of the opportunity. It was nice being back on my old route. I did the Randall route plus 2 x Ryan Avenue for 6.85 miles, the fab 40, and 3 c GP curls/presses. Fatigue is hitting me now after church. No school tomorrow. God bless!

Last Workout on the Boat

 I headed out a bit before 5 with an empty track for a short while. I do enjoy my morning workouts on the ship. The warm breeze hitting my face, surrounded by water. You notice familiar faces that do their workouts in your same timeframe. I made friends with a gentleman from Fort Lauderdale. He is a retired postman. We talked for a lap or so. I did 7.06 miles, the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I have enjoyed my time on the boat and am looking to the transition to regular life. God bless.

Morning Before our last Shore Excursion

  We are in the Dominican Republic. This morning’s walk I could see land most of the way. I got out earlier today, but it seems others did as well. I did 7 miles and finished getting coffee and tea and OJ on deck 15. I hope to get 3 sets of GP bench presses in and maybe a fab 40. I’m blessed to be able to get the work in. Several miles I did a 15 minute per mile pace. There are always aches and pains to be watchful of. Thank the Lord that He sees me through. A day at sea tomorrow and the finish in Fort Lauderdale.

Tuesday/Wednesday, Ship Shape

 Tuesday- There was a lot of traffic on the deck. I did 6.77 miles, the fabulous 40 and 3 x GP bench presses. I ended up moving quite a bit on the boat. 

Wednesday- I did 6.94 miles and made another friend Mike from Massachusetts. I hope to do the 3 x Gym Proloux Curls and presses. I got out earlier and fortunately, there was far fewer people. Writing this from the ship in San Juan. Have a blessed sunshiny day!
