 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!

TIRED

I was awake a few minutes before my alarm went off. Boy, was I tired. I just kept going forward with the day. Char is away, so I turned the light on next to my bed. I have had a lot of morninga like this, I sure do miss her. I did the 8 x Raynor Hill for 6.30 miles, did 1 x core trainer presses and rows, and then 1 x goblet squats. When I get home I hope to do  2 x GP curls/presses. I am grateful for the opportunity to workout and to record my workouts, even though it is often just a sketch of events. Have a blessed day friends!

Figure 8

 I was a little tired as I went to a wedding last night. My stomach was not 100 %, but I managed it o get I the figure 8 plus 1 x Ryan for 6.45 miles, the fab 40, 1 x hex bar deadlifts/shrugs, and hope to do bench presses later. Char is gone on a women’s ministry conference. Have a blessed day- tired:)

Friday-Sunday

 Friday- I was a bit tired but I managed to get up and out at a good time. I did the Longwood Loop in reverse. I did 6.32 miles, did 2 x GP curls/presses, 1 x core trainer presses/rows, and medicine ball weighted squats.

Sunday- I did the Longwood in reverse for 6.46 miles, 3 x GP curls/presses, 1 x goblet squats, and hope to do 1 x core trainer presses/rows. I hope to go to a wedding with my wife and daughter later. 

Right now I am enjoying the blessings of life as my wife is working at a break kneck speed. I will be there with her, even when she goes beyond my speed.
