Instinct

  I have not needed quite as much sleep lately. Thankfully, I have been blessed to be able to stay on the move with a busy for me life. I went to bed a bit later, but fell immediately asleep. I woke up a bit before my alarm, took 5 sips of coffee, and lied resting. Just before my alarm was to go off I turned the alarm off. I then went into my morning routine. Things went fairly smoothly, but there was a hint of tiredness. I decided to do the Randall Loop with 2 x Ryan avenue for 6.8 miles, did the fabulous 40, 1 x weighted bench press, and 2 x GP bench presses. I will attempt to do 3 x around the gym farmers walk to replace the deadlift. Last night we had a good time of discussion at Bible Study. The Lord is definitely at work. Lord willing, I pick up Ryleigh tonight after youth group. As a grandparent it is a blessing to be able to be involved in your grandchild’s life. God bless you my friend!

Smooth

  From the beginning, the day shaped up nicely. I just kind of started out on a productive note. I kept checking things off on my checklist that needed to be completed. This got me out in really good season and kept me a little ahead of schedule. I did the Longwood Loop doing 6.42 miles, the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do a set of core trainer presses and goblet squats later. Going to rest now. God bless you!

Beginning of a Long Day

 I headed out in good season. I did the 2 x Woodlot with 3 Woodlot Hills each Loop for 6.34 m, the fab 40,  1weighted bench presses , 2 x GP bench presses, and 1 set of hex bar deadlifts. It’s nice to have Charlotte back home. My arthritic toe was sore at work today. Doing better now. Another short entry. Just recording my workout.

Little Improvements

I was a little concerned about soreness and fatigue. I switched up my insoles and sneakers and it is helping. This morning I did the Longwood loop for 6.49 miles, the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I may do a set of core trainer presses/rows and a set of goblet squats when I get home. A lot of interruptions shortened the length of this entry. I look forward to the return of Char.

Better Day

  I was able to switch out my foot supports back to my power step insoles.  I prayed for wisdom and the Lord helped me. I believe that my Fulton insoles are too thick in the ball of my foot. My powerstep insoles worked very well today. I am also wearing my regular sneakers with heal pads that I had in another set of shoes. Fortunately, things fell into place without having to make more immediate purchases. I started doing the Longwood Loop , but Charlotte called me and said that she might need me to watch her mother as the nurse hadn’t shown up on time. I started back towards home, but I received a call that the nurse had showed up. I went down Woodlot and headed back up Ridge Toad for 7.01 miles, I did the fab 40, 3 x GP bench presses and most likely 1 x weighted bench presses. I am a bit tired and am fighting off some throat congestion. Have a blessed day friends!

Saturday Slog

 I woke up a bit earlier than I figured, but I don’t sleep as well without Charlotte next to me. I took my meds, ate breakfast, and slowly made my way out to go for my walk. I did the Woodlot plus 7 x Woodlot hill and the Ridge loop with 3 x Ryan Avenue for 7.58 miles, I did 3 x Curls/Presses with GP. I may do more work later.Looking forward to seeing Charlotte tonight! Have a blast!

Early Wake Up

 I have been waking up earlier than usual. It’s the type of earlier that when I wake up, I’m not exactly fresh as a daisy. I woke up the second day alone, because Charlotte is taking care of her mother while her father is away on vacation. I did 2 x Woodlot with each lap doing 3 x Woodlot Hill for 6.49 miles, the fabulous 40, 3 x GP bench presses, and one set of hex bar deadlifts. I may attempt a set of weighted bench presses later. I also hope to mow the lawn. I am not 100%, but I am okay. This is GoBurger day. Yay! Blessed!
