Monday Back in Ridge

  It seemed like awhile since I was on the roads of east central Long Island. It was only two weeks, but so much happened in those two weeks. One week ago it was the streets of Hope followed by a trip to Greenville with my parents. Today it was an early trip around the Longwood Loop reversed going down Red Maple Drive. I did see another walker and a jogger on Wading River Hollow Road. I took the time to workout and pray. The mornings at camp were quiet and peaceful just before the counselor devotions. Today, it was the comfort of routine at home that was soothing. It’s funny how this busy place has become my home. It is not as busy as my work in Roosevelt. Where the Lord places you you will experience peace. I did 7.01 miles and hope to do my core trainer presses/rows, the fab 40, and goblet squats.

Sunday Changes

   I was planning on doing the Longwood Loop finishing past DD in Ridge. At around the halfway point I received a phone call from Char. Apparently, my mother in law’s aid didn’t show up to take care of her. So I had to streamline my workout and try to get back as soon as I could. I stayed on the Smith Road and headed home for exactly 6.2 miles. Laura from church stayed with Gill until I arrived. I was able to do the fab 40, weighted bench press, 1 set of hex deadlifts with shrugs, and 3 x GP bench presses at my in-laws. I ordered a few things online for the summer and Finland. We are headed to the Mets/Red Sox game today. I am glad to be home and in my routines. I seem to function the best that way. Thankful for little blessings.

I did my strength work at my parents with weights and at camp and Eastport with my strength bands and my push up board. I did not have time to blog or even reflect on my workouts. I was pleased and thankful to be able to get my workouts in along with wonderful visits with my parents and my daughters Katie and Kim. The week at camp was good. I was able to mainly work amongst doing all my camp duties. I will try to keep up on my blogs. It’s nice to be home. Did my lawn and hedges today. God bless you my friends!

More Positive

  I woke up tired, but I knew that once I got going that ai would be fine. Today was a better day. I hav e felt more positive about things. I am slowly chipping away and getting ready for camp. Fortunately I have the buffer of going to my parents first. I did the Longwood loop in reverse for 6.57 miles. I did the fab 30 and 3 x GP curls/presses, hope to do goblet squats and core trainer presses and rows  I am kind of sad about school ending and kind of happy at the same time. Looking forward to what the Lord is doing!

Sunday/Monday

 First of all, I feel a bit scatter brained. Kind of all over the place. This is the end of the school year and I am a bit tired, but I have a lot going. I am looking forward to the times ahead, but there is getting there and being patient and organized.

Sunday- Father’s Day: I did the Longwood Loop going backwards doing 6.84 miles, 3 x GP curls/presses, the fab 40, weighted bench press, and  goblet squats, and core trainer presses and rows.

Monday: I headed out the regular route of Longwood for 8.39 miles, 3 x GP bench presses, 3 x farmer’s walk at school, hex bar deadlifts and shrugs, and weighted bench presses. 

 I started getting prepared for camp. I am in a time of transition of getting rid of clothes that I have no intention of wearing. It seems that I have gotten rid of too many shorts. I may need to restock my supplies. Have a blessed day!

Juneteenth Weekend

 Friday- I did the Longwood Loop in Reverse going the long way. It was a comfortable breezy morning. Perfect weather really. I did 8.84 miles, 3 x GP curls/presses, core trainer presses/row, and goblet squats. 

Saturday- I did 2 x Woodlot/Ridge for 8.39 miles, 3 x GP Bench Presses, 3 x Farmers walk, and hopefully weighted bench presses and hex bar deadlifts and shrugs. 

  Looking forward to Father’s Day tomorrow! God bless you!

Bright and Early

  I woke up to my alarm this morning and quickly went into my morning routine. I just had the feeling that I had to get things moving. It was a breezy dark morning with showers in the forecast. This is always a bit of an awkward time for me, as I am anticipating the different routines of the summer. The summer involves a lot of socializing, visits, hosting , and odd jobs.  This morning I could hear a quiet voice telling me to relax and not to worry. I did the Randall Route for 6.85 miles, the fab 40, 3 x GP bench presses , and 1 set of farmers walks in the gym. I will try to do two other sets of farmers walks, 1 set of hex bar deadlifts, and 1 set of weighted bench presses— Lord willing. Looking forward to our Juneteenth celebration today. God bless you!
