Fri. - Sun.

 Friday- I woke up a bit later thanks to having the day off. I had the house to myself due to Charlotte watching her mother and then going to Weight Watchers. I did the Woodlot Loop and 7 x Woodlot Hill and Ridge and 3x Ryan Avenue for 7.73 miles, the fab 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I never did the farmer’s walk or hex bar deadlifts. I prioritized the lawn and chores. Thankfully, we made it out to Chester to get the tickets to get on to the West Point grounds.

Sunday- I did 7.18 miles doing the Wading River Hollow out and back and the Woodlot/Ridge Loop for 7.18 miles. I did the 3 x GP curls/presses, with probably goblet squats and core trainer presses and rows. I feel a little off with the schedule a little off. Have a blessed day!

The Day Before

  I have been having a year of a lot of variety of schedule. My wife has been a great daughter taking care of her mother on a regular basis, and spending nights taking care of her mother when her dad leaves for vacation or other occasions. I am comfortable being alone, but spending so much time alone feels strange. This morning I did the Longwood Loop in reverse again doing 6.32 miles, doing the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do goblet squats and a set of core trainer presses and rows. Hoping to do the lawn today. GoBurger day a day early. Looking forward to my nieces graduation at West Point. I like my trips with Charlotte. She is a tremendous companion and I am blessed to have her in my life!

A Different Direction

 One thing that I have been doing for a while is not setting my route 100% before I head out the door. I was intending to do the Woodlot Loop and hills, but I decided to last minute do the Longwood Loop. As I got to the end of my street I decided to turn left and to do my rout in reverse for the first time. I went through this as if I had never been on this route before. I did 6.32 miles, the fab 40, 1 x weight bench press, 2 x GP bench presses, and 3 x farmers walk at school. Have a most blessed day!

Stay Within Your Boundaries

 My workouts this year have been an adaptation between my knee replacement rehab and my former training. I go more times per week in my workouts, but my workouts are less. The enthusiasm to workout is better. I have more energy outside of my workouts, since I’m not so beat up and tired. I always attempt to pray during my walks. It’s easier for me to pray without distractions on my walk. Today I did 2 x Woodlot with a total of 6 times up Woodlot hill for 6.45 miles, the fabulous forty, 1 x core trainer presses/rows, and 2 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do goblet squats when I get home tonight. I am tired, but I am grateful that I do workouts that are attainable and meaningful. Have a blessed day!

Teetering But Going Forward

 I’m tired and dealing with a tired partner. We’re both going forward, things just seem weird and off. I did 6.52 miles doing the Longwood Loop, the fab 40, 3 x GP bench presses and 1 x farmer walk. I am photo get two more farmer’s walks in plus 1 x weighted bench presses. I’m thinking a little negatively, but trying not to. One step at a time today. God bless you my friend. Just tired!

Faith/Self-Doubt

  I woke up early thanks to our shade being open all night, in order to let the air in. I was not wanting to wake Charlotte up, so I stayed in bed until she woke up. Unfortunately, we got off on the wrong step and it’s still in a bad place. I pray that this day ends in a good place. I did 7.52 miles doing the Ridge w/3x Ryan Ave., and Woodlot and 7 x Woodlot Hill, the fab 40, goblet squats, and core trainer presses. Lord help me, thank you!!

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!
