Tuesday- Wednesday Having a Great Time

 I have had two good days of workouts and I am so grateful and blessed to be able to enjoy the beauty of the mornings. I did 7.48 miles yesterday and 7.17 today. I did the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses, goblet squats, and ok ne set of weighted presses and rows. Today I hope to do 3 sets of weighted bench presses and a hex bar deadlift. I might do the fab 40. Time for a few errands. God bless!

Mostly Dry, but My oh my!

  I headed out early looking to beat the rain. I was as awake for a few minutes at times during the night. I just kind of go with the flow and don’t sweat the details. I like routine, but the grind of work is wearing on the mind and body. On the other hand, work brings purpose. Purpose gives life meaning and makes it worth living. So I just try to see the function of the time period that I am in. I did 7.25 miles, 2 x GP bench presses, 2 x weighted bench presses, 2 x weighted bench presses, and 1 x hex bar deadlifts and shrugs. I am blessed to have this time in the summers. Thank you Lord!

Aug. 1 & Aug. 2

  The summer glides along at its steady pace. It’s not fast, but the pace is consistent and never slows down. I decided to go for a walk Saturday night after I watched Gill. Char was at the mission team’s yearly supper. I also did a walk before church on Sunday. I did 6.73 on Saturday and 7.57 on Sunday. I have been busy, but the strength work is getting done. Have a most blessed day!!

Early Going

  I woke up very early. I decided to enjoy the peace and quiet of the early morning. I waited for the right moment of inspiration, to get out and ready myself for the morning workout. I did the Longwood loop in reverse, even doing an extra out and back for 7.61 miles, the fab 40, 3 x GP curls/presses, the goblet squat, and on set of core trainer presses/rows. Ad usual, I get sleepy at around this time. God bless you all!

Beat the Rain

 An early start is good in many ways. This morning it allowed me to safely get through the workout before the rain hit. I was looking forward to that quiet time on the road before the business of the day takes over. I have taken advantage of being able to take my time and not being hurried. I did the Longwood loop doing Scenic Hills and finishing by DD. I did 7.32 miles, the fab 40, 3 x GP bench , 2 x deadlifts. It did what I had to.

Soaking Wet Wednesday

 I headed out in the wettest part of the day, since the rain ended just after my workout. I put on my raincoat and stepped by faith into the rain. I decided to do 9 x Raynor Hill for 6.84 miles. My pace wasn’t fast, but I managed to get out there. I have been feeling a bit off mentally— but it has been a productive summer. I am grateful for how the Lord has abundantly met my needs. Thank you Lord!

Tuesday: Early Start

 I got out at around 5:15. I wanted to get out plenty early before I got together with Rebekah for another walk around Port Jefferson.  I saw Old Jim from church. He told me that this was a good place for a hangout . I did the reverse Longwood loop for 7:91. I plan to do bench presses and deadlifts later. Tired, laying low! Low!
