Saturday Morning

  This morning I woke up a bit earlier since my wife was making a birthday trip with friends into the city. I prioritized getting an oil change early over getting an early start on my walk. Fortunately, things went well. I even picked up a coffee and a sandwich before my walk after the oil change. I did the Woodlot loop with 7 Woodlot hills and I did the Kastal/Ridge loop with 3 x Ryan for 7.61 miles. I plan on doing the fab 40 and bench presses a bit later. Just taking it easy for a bit. I’m grateful for a good start!

Good Recovery

 This morning I was able to get in an encouraging workout. I did 6.50 miles on the Longwood Loop plus Rolling Hills out and back, with the fab. 40, 1 super set of core trainer presses and rows, and 2 sets of GP curls.My shoulder and feet were feeling pretty decent. Lord willing, I hope to get some work in on the weekend. God bless you!

Warmer Times

 I headed out the door and decided to do the Longwood Loop. I added an out and back back up  Rolling Hill Drive plus the Dunkin Road near finish. I did 6.53 miles on a foggy overcast morning. I went back home and did the fab 40, 1 x weighted bench press, and 2 x GP bench presses. I had a good report at the doctor’s yesterday and a good Bible study. Today I have felt a bit out of it mentally. Kind of tired mentally I am grateful for the things that I have been able to do and am looking to the Lord for my daily bread.

Pain in the Neck

 Last night I got very little quality sleep, although fortunately I did get some sleep. I had a major cramp in my trapezius muscle in my neck. It was painful and made getting comfortable impossible. I took a couple of Aleve which helped make things tolerable. My alarm went off super early, but I decided to keep my usual routine going despite getting next to no sleep. I did the Woodlot with 3 x the hill and the Kastal-Ridge Loop for 6.43 miles, the fab 40 , and 3 x GP Bench Presses. I still have some pain in my neck, but it’s tolerable for now. I am due to have a filling put in my tooth tonight after school. I am making it through the day thankfully! Be blessed my friends!

Early Start on the Hill

 Today was one of those days where things flowed together nicely. I had a good time of Bible reading followed by a quick of getting ready for my walk. I did the 8 x Raynor Hill. I had a decent pace going today. I am not speed walking, just trying to keep a steady pace. I saw the dog walker today as he walks in about everything. I also did the fabulous 40 and 3 x GP curls/presses. I may try to do a set of core trainer presses or presses and rows. We’ll see. There is a lot going on in our world right now. I am grateful that the Lord is in control.

Longwood

  I decided to try Longwood in the daylight, to check the readiness to walk on without slips. I did 6.23 miles, finding ice and a slip just off Smith Road. I did the shorter version going back on Smith Road to avoid more ice. When I got back I found that I had locked myself out of the house. With the help of my wife, I finally made it back inside. I did the fab 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I did an extra set of weighted bench presses after lunch. I may try one more set. Lord willing, going out for supper with friends later today. Have a body!

Randall Again

 Friday- After sticking to Raynor Hill for the week and shoveling for 6 hours for the other workout, I decided to try another route as the roads were improving. I did the Raynor route plus an out and back going across Whiskey Road to the second telephone pole on the left and back. I did 6.71 miles, the fab 40, 1 x weighted bench press, and 2 x GP bench presses. My weight is slowly going down. With the Lord’s help, I trust that I will keep losing weight. I felt pretty good this week and I am grateful for that. Have a blessed weekend!
