A Little Different

  I decided to change from alternating between Longwood and Reverse Longwood. I did Medford/Randall, Ryan for 7.2 miles, the fab 40, 3 x GP bench presses, and I hope to do a hex bar deadlift and a weighted bench presses. I am happy with what I have been able to achieve this summer. I am ready to go back to work. The break is good and I do enjoy it. My purpose is largely found in my work at RCA. A heart for children and fitness are two things that are a part of my makeup. I need the time in the summer to recharge. Ever since I have recovered from my knee replacement, I have had a new surge of energy. I plan on using this energy to serve the Lord. I’m grateful to serve my King!

Tuesday/Wednesday

 Tuesday: I did the Longwood Loop in reverse for 7.2 miles. I also did 3 x GP bench presses and a hex bar deadlift.

Wednesday: I did the Longwood Loop for 7.2 miles, 3 x GP curls/presses, goblet squats, and hope to do a set of core trainer presses/rows.

  I am distracting myself by micro-shopping for school and the trip, projects, relationships, training, reading, and TV. I have committed a lot of prayer to each day, my family, church, the trip, etc. Without prayer, I am powerless!

Monday not a Funday

  I got out a bit past 5 so that I could get Ericka to her drivers test. Ericka’s nerves got the best of her, and she broke down afterwards. My wife is discouraged because she will still have to take Ericka to work. Me— I hate to see two discouraged people. I did the Longwood loop for 7.04 miles, the fab 40, 3 x GP curls/presses, goblet squats, and 1 x core trainer presses/rows. I hope to start getting prepared for the trip to Finland- Lord willing.

Sunday Interrupted

 I got a nice early start with good plans. It was another warm morning, but not as humid. Things were going really well,when after mile 3 1/2 I received a phone call. I had to reverse direction and head back to the house. My father in laws nurse didn’t show up so I had to go to his house to watch her. I ended up doing 5.03 miles. I took the GP resistance machine and did 3 sets of bench presses. I hope to do 4 x farmers walk and one set of weighted bench presses. I may not reach my activity goal today. We’ll see. God bless you my friend!

Saturday Head Start

 I woke up fairly early despite a later bed time. My motto is to just go with it. My wife is not exactly a snuggler or a morning dream sharer, so I decided to hit the early morning weekend roads of central eastern Long Island. I did the fab 40 and 1 x core trainer presses/rows and will finish either with bands or weights, and goblet squats. I am really just preparing for Finland and back to school, Lord willing. I don’t seem to be big on ideas or words at the moment. When I feel the time is right, I will try to share my thoughts. God bless you my friend.

Fry-Day

 The humidity combined with the heat has been brutal. I slept in as I was awake with my wife earlier and fell back asleep. I ended up doing the Longwood Loop in reverse for 7.32 miles, the fab , 40, 3 x GP bench press and hope to do hex bar deadlift and one set of weighted bench press. This heat is kicking my butt. I don’t do well in this heat. I’m feeling a bit off physically. Enjoying a bit of down time. Have a blessed day!

The Day After

  I had a meltdown yesterday. Just too much social, and too many people in my space. No matter how I try to strategize, I just fail. Better to just stay home when I have had enough. Today is a better day. I did the Longwood Loop and then mowed the lawn before it got too hot. So I did 7.16 miles and hope to do the GP curls/presses later, maybe the fab 40, goblet squats, and 1 x core trainer presses/rows. It’s a nice breeze so far. I enjoying a bit of piece and quiet. Not coming out with many deep thoughts. Have a blessed day!
