Revisiting the Past

 Last night my stepson had a meltdown. I was doing a little bit of complaining to my wife and Jace inserted himself into the conversation. It ended up with him swearing at me and motioning to fight me. He’s twice my size so I declined. I did 6.29 miles, the fab 40, deadlifts with chains, 2 sets of GP bench presses, Have a blessed day!

A Maine Beautiful Weekend!

 Saturday- I slept in and didn’t work out at all. I did however, mow my daughter’s lawn so I got in over 10 thousand steps. It was a busy day, but a productive and blessed day. Pizza from Freshies and mow a bit , hang, and leave at 8. Quick stop at Family Dollar and out to Harris Point. I had a wonderful night’s sleep.

Sunday- I did South end, dog Island, Adam’s Street and the loop down high and the new road off from County Road, stop at the bank, Dump Road, and back to Harris Point for 7.46 miles.

Monday- I did 6.51 miles doing a version of the Barnestown Loop and How Hill Road. I did 3 x core trainer and cable machine pull curls. I try to be dedicated to my workouts without being tied to them.

I had a great time Calais yesterday eating and shopping at Marden’s. I’m grateful for this time and the health!

Cutting Back a Bit

 This morning I woke up a bit later and got out a bit later and went a bit shorter. I had a little mishap when I failed to clean the core trainer to my chest and dropped about 120 pounds on the cement floor and scraped my left side a bit. I warmed up so fortunately I didn’t get hurt more than a scrape. I ended up doing 2 x GP curls/presses and did 2 x Woodlot for 6.07 miles. I have a long trip in front of me after work. I’m hoping that I will refresh and be refreshed despite the lengthy traveling. Thank you Lord!

Longwood Backwards/2 x Woodlot/Woodlot Hill

 Wednesday- I woke up early mistaking the time. I drank my coffee and just stayed the course. The early time allowed me to get ahead of my daily tasks. It ended up being a long tiring, yet productive day. I did the Longwood Loop backwards and added a little extra. I did 6.67 miles, the fab 40, 3 x GP curls/presses, and goblet squats. I mowed the lawn and took Ericka and a couple of granddaughters to get a shot. It was an early Go Burger Day. 

 Thursday- I intentionally cut back just a little to allow for rest for my long day tomorrow. I did 6.27 miles doing 2 x Woodlot and Woodlot Hill, plus a weighted bench press, 2 x GP bench press, and hex bar deadlifts. I may do the preacher carry later. Have a blessed day!

A Good Start

  My life has been better since cutting back on my distance of my walks. My frequency has increased, but the length of my workouts has decreased. Because of this change, I have more enthusiasm and energy and make it to work on time. I did 6.49 miles on the reverse Longwood Loop, the fab 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I hope to do a weighted bench press and a hinge movement later on today. I love the crisp morning air this time of year. Lord willing tonight I will begin packing for my Maine trip. Looking to the Lore!

Monday Haze

  I went to a meet and greet with the stars of Napoleon Dynamite last night. That put me in bed a bit later. I have tried to be more flexible with my schedule, while at the same time maintaining a certain balance of social and rest. I really enjoyed the event. It was actually pretty good and not hokey. This morning I did 2 x Woodlot x Woodlot Hill for 6.25 miles. This allowed me to do a little extra before I left for school. With a trip to Maine, Lord willing in the cards, I am trying to cut back a bit alon with a rest day on Saturday. I also did 3 x GP curls/presses and hope to do goblet squats and core trainer presses later. Going to rest a bit. God bless!

Saturday/Sunday

   Saturday: I did the Longwood Loop trying to get back before Charlotte made it home. I took it easy watching TV with Charlotte until she went back to her mom’s. I did the lawn and 3 sets of core trainer presses with one set of rows. I also did a set of goblet squats. 

  I did the longer version of the Longwood Loop doing 7.1 miles. I also did 4 sets of weighted bench presses and a set of hex bar deadlifts and shrugs. Things have been in flux around here. Things are good, but there are lots of little issues going around. Little, but not minor. The Lord is so good to me. I am learning to trust Him. Trust sometimes means acting when not acting would be easy.
