Sunday/Renew Mondays/Flexibility

 Sunday— I got out in good season doing the Wading River hollow Double Dip and Woodlot/Ridge for 7.4 miles, the fab 40, 3 x GP bench press, goblet squats, on Monday I did, 8.43 miles, and hope to do 2 x core trainer press/rows and 1 x GP press/ curls,  and goblet squats. I am feeling a bit out of sorts, although it has been a productive time. Doing various chores and the sort without being pushed too much. I have been feeling drawn by an invisible hand. I want to be productive and relaxed. So far so good. I need these summers to reload for the school year. These meds are making me feel quite overheated this summer. It has me being more cautious if I start sweating heavily outside. Have a blessed day!

Saturday Reprieve

  I started the day out well watching Father Brown with Char. It was a laid back start to the day. As soon as we got out of bed and the work began, the irritation began. Char and I were like the two old men on the Muppet Show bickering pack and forth as we put all the deck furniture back on the deck after my paint job on both outside decks. Neither one of us could seem to get things worked out. Eventually Char went inside while I continued putting the bigger items on the deck. I could have used Charlotte’s help, but it was not worth the aggravation. Thankfully, Char had to go to the church to work out the snow machine with Jace. I used that time to get a Flat White and coffee cake at Rebekah’s Starbucks. I then went back home and did the Woodlot Loop with 6 x Woodlot Hill and 1 x Ridge/Kastal with 1 x Ryan Hill for 6.69 miles. My pace was slower. It seemed good just to get away from people. Right now I am inside trying to keep out of the way of Violet’s birthday party. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day. I have learned that it’s alright to step away in certain situations. Life has a way of presenting you with unique situations. I will expound on this more in the future. Have a blessed day!

Dr. Foot & Friday

 Thursday: I had another early start with an 8:00 am Orthopedic doctor appointment. I did the Longwood Loop reverse loop with my new neon safari hat. I did 7.20 miles, fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses.

 Friday- An earlier start just because I was awake at the time. I did the standard Longwood loop at 7.27 miles, hope to do the fab 40, 3 x GP bench presses, hex bar deadlifts, and weighted bench presses. Another day of projects. Will do what I can. Have a blessed day!

Early Start

   I knew that I had to be ready by 7:30 to meet Charlotte after she dropped her car off for maintenance out east. I did manage to get back in plenty of time. I did 7.23 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I hope to do 2 x hex bar shrugs, and weighted bench presses. I now have a quiet few minutes. I’m grate for quiet time. God bless you!

Reversing Longwood Before the Rain

 I changed plans to walk with my daughter Rebekah after my normal workout. I did 7.16 miles, the fab 40, 2 x core trainer rows/presses , 2 x GP curls/presses, and goblet squats. I also took my daughter Ericka to get two teeth filled. It’s turned muggy now. This week is productive, but lacks rhythm. God bless you my friend!

Easy Going on a Comfortable Summer Morning

 I woke up just enjoying the fact that I can take my time in the summer. I can be more methodical and deliberate. I realize the summer is just a season, but in the whole scheme of things, it serves a purpose. I can save up my energy for the school year and my job. I visited Bekah at work and had a little treat. I did 7.01 miles doing the front way version of my route. I hope to do 3 x weighted bench presses, the fab 40, 3 x the farmers walk, hex bar deadlift and shrugs. I hope to get all the work in. Grateful for the opportunities of the summer!

Reversing Longwood

  It is nice getting back into the habit of the morning walk after a day off. Sometimes I take a day off and sometimes I don’t. Either way , there is a benefit to either course of action. I did 7.05 miles. It was a comfortable morning at a not humid 71 breezy degrees. I did the fab 40 and 3 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do goblet squats, a set of core trainer presses/rows, and some backstep lunges. I am grateful for the training, enough but not too much!
