Thursday Vibe

  I just went into the day with an unfounded optimism. I didn’t have solid plans in my head, but I just kept going forward. I ended up doing the Longwood Loop in reverse for 6.43 miles, the landmine press/row, goblet squats, and 2 x GP curls/press. I’m doing my best while Char is working hard in the DR. Have a blessed day friends!

A Little Extra Rest

   I sure do miss my Charlotte. I was however, grateful for a day off in the middle of the week. I slept in past 6. I drank my coffee and took my meds. I did my devotions and slowly made my way through my morning routine. I did the Longwood Loop adding the bigger Loop around Scenic Hills, past the high school, and going past Dunkin Donuts for 7.2 miles, the fab 40, 1 x weighted bench press, 1 x hex bar chained deadlift, and 2 x GP bench presses. I am taking it a bit easy today. Rest is production for the future. I am looking forward to Bible Study tonight. Have a blessed day!

Friday-Sunday-Monday-Tuesday

Friday - 6.47 miles

Sunday-7.04 miles

Monday- 6.46 miles 

Tuesday- 6.29 Raynor Hill x 8

 On each of these days I did my strength work and in some cases my core work. Char left Sunday morning for the DR. I am getting the same work in, but I am not very motivated outside of that. It’s alright to go a bit lighter in the blog as long as the work is getting done. God is good!

November 1-5

 Sunday: 7.17 miles

Monday-6.41 miles 

Tuesday-6.25 miles 

Wednesday-6.27 miles 

Thursday-6.47 miles 

 I have gotten my strength work in, although I missed two squat days. I was surprised that I hadn’t blogged for several days. I have just been trying to keep the ball rolling. Living life and not worrying about my online presence. This blog for me is just a way of keeping track through the changes in my life and as I age. I started blogging in my late thirties/early 40’s. I was a runner then and much stronger. I didn’t appreciate my younger middle aged abilities as much then. I probably enjoy and appreciate my workouts more at this stage of my life. I always try to keep in mind how I will have to change and adapt for the next stage of my life if the Lord wills it. 

   I am blessed beyond measure and am grateful for my wife, family, and friendships. God bless you too my friend.

Surprised

  I followed my morning routine, waking up a few minutes early to try to get ahead despite fatigue. Things flowed pretty well. I started my workout pretty well, but at around mile one I felt the call of nature. I stopped to do my business, when I noticed a man walking quickly behind me. I was surprised to see those at 4:30 ish A.M.. I commenced to run until I was out of range. I managed to find a spot a little over a mile away. I had a good workout, did the fab 40, a set of weighted bench presses, a set of hex bar deadlifts, and 2 x GO bench presses. My plantar fasciitis is acting up a bit in my right heal. Praying for a healing there. God bless!

Last Night a Batch

  Tonight, at a late moment, my wife will be back home Lord willing. I don’t like being alone so much, but I respect my wife’s need to travel frequently and is gone on a regular basis. I just kind of adapt to the situation. I did 2 x Woodlot with 2 times up Woodlot Hill for a total of 4 for 6.23 miles, I did 3 x GP presses, and the fab 40. I am blessed to be able to do what I can.  God bless you!

Making the Best

  I have been consistent in my training, but my training has been constantly evolving. Right now, I try to be consistent but do less volume. I just don’t have it in me to push every day to get in 8 to 9 miles. I now find enjoyment in being consistent. Today I did the Longwood Loop for 6.24 miles. I wasn’t quite as tired as yesterday, but I definitely was a bit tired. I also did 1 x weighted bench presses, 2 x GP bench presses, and 1 x hex bar deadlifts. Lord willing I have Bible Study tonight. I am missing Char who is at a women’s ministry conference. Have a blessed day!
