Fry-Day

 The humidity combined with the heat has been brutal. I slept in as I was awake with my wife earlier and fell back asleep. I ended up doing the Longwood Loop in reverse for 7.32 miles, the fab , 40, 3 x GP bench press and hope to do hex bar deadlift and one set of weighted bench press. This heat is kicking my butt. I don’t do well in this heat. I’m feeling a bit off physically. Enjoying a bit of down time. Have a blessed day!

The Day After

  I had a meltdown yesterday. Just too much social, and too many people in my space. No matter how I try to strategize, I just fail. Better to just stay home when I have had enough. Today is a better day. I did the Longwood Loop and then mowed the lawn before it got too hot. So I did 7.16 miles and hope to do the GP curls/presses later, maybe the fab 40, goblet squats, and 1 x core trainer presses/rows. It’s a nice breeze so far. I enjoying a bit of piece and quiet. Not coming out with many deep thoughts. Have a blessed day!

Tuesday- Wednesday Having a Great Time

 I have had two good days of workouts and I am so grateful and blessed to be able to enjoy the beauty of the mornings. I did 7.48 miles yesterday and 7.17 today. I did the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses, goblet squats, and ok ne set of weighted presses and rows. Today I hope to do 3 sets of weighted bench presses and a hex bar deadlift. I might do the fab 40. Time for a few errands. God bless! 

Mostly Dry, but My oh my!

  I headed out early looking to beat the rain. I was as awake for a few minutes at times during the night. I just kind of go with the flow and don’t sweat the details. I like routine, but the grind of work is wearing on the mind and body. On the other hand, work brings purpose. Purpose gives life meaning and makes it worth living. So I just try to see the function of the time period that I am in. I did 7.25 miles, 2 x GP bench presses, 2 x weighted bench presses, 2 x weighted bench presses, and 1 x hex bar deadlifts and shrugs. I am blessed to have this time in the summers. Thank you Lord!

Aug. 1 & Aug. 2

  The summer glides along at its steady pace. It’s not fast, but the pace is consistent and never slows down. I decided to go for a walk Saturday night after I watched Gill. Char was at the mission team’s yearly supper. I also did a walk before church on Sunday. I did 6.73 on Saturday and 7.57 on Sunday. I have been busy, but the strength work is getting done. Have a most blessed day!!

Early Going

  I woke up very early. I decided to enjoy the peace and quiet of the early morning. I waited for the right moment of inspiration, to get out and ready myself for the morning workout. I did the Longwood loop in reverse, even doing an extra out and back for 7.61 miles, the fab 40, 3 x GP curls/presses, the goblet squat, and on set of core trainer presses/rows. Ad usual, I get sleepy at around this time. God bless you all!

Beat the Rain

 An early start is good in many ways. This morning it allowed me to safely get through the workout before the rain hit. I was looking forward to that quiet time on the road before the business of the day takes over. I have taken advantage of being able to take my time and not being hurried. I did the Longwood loop doing Scenic Hills and finishing by DD. I did 7.32 miles, the fab 40, 3 x GP bench , 2 x deadlifts. It did what I had to.
