Backwards

  Today I approached the workout with enthusiasm even though I was tired. God has encouraged me in so many ways. First, God answers prayer. I believe that He loves us and desires to answer our prayers. Prayer is really being sensitive to God’s heart and presence. God wants our fellowship. Lastly, the Lord wants to use us. He is not limited by our shortcomings. He uses us in spite of us not always having the best attitudes. I know that the Lord knows my weaknesses and flaws and he actually helps me and brings people into my life to help me. 

  I did the Longwood Loop in reverse the last two days for 6.62 miles and 6.61. Yesterday I did the fab 40, 3 x GP curls/presses, 1 x core trainer presses and rows, and 1 x goblet squats. Today I did bench presses on the GP for 3 sets. I hope to do the farmers walk and deadlift later. Have a blessed day!

Keep Going

  The only that I really have going for me is my healthiness and the ability to be consistent. I do nothing impressive, I just have been consistent. Today I did  6.5 on the Longwood Loop, the fab 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. When I went to school, I did 3 laps of the farmers walk. Going to get a rest.

I Love Routine

  I was pleased in a way to be back to my normal routine of work. I feel in many ways that my work is my life ministry. I click and function the best with these teachers and these students. In church I support my wife and do the kids ministry as a teacher, but church is basically where I support my wife in her ministry. I did the Longwood Loop doing the original version for 6.62 miles, the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do goblet squats and core trainer presses and rows x 1. It is nice to be back at work. Thank you Lord!

You Never Know

  I woke up at around 5:20 and took my time getting out of bed on this Memorial Day. I read my Bible and prayed before getting out of bed. It was another rainy morning. Yesterday I had the perfect amount of clothing for the rain and cold. Today, I was a little warm. I ended up up taking my glasses off, because they kept fogging up. I did Ridge with 3 x Ryan avenue and the. Woodlot and 7 x Woodlot Hill. As I went past Dunkin Donuts on the opposite side of Middle Country, I notice a pulled over small car with yelling coming from within the car. I stopped and looked back. A lady opened the driver’s side door and told me to call 911. She said that her boyfriend had put his hands on her. I dialed and at that time the boyfriend got out of the car and walked towards me. He was upset that I had “interfered “ and not minded my own business. I was talking to the police on speaker phone with the man yelling at me. He then slapped my phone out of my hand and started walking away. The policeman on the line told me not to engage the man. That’s the last I he from this situation. I continued on with my workout, and noticed two police cars speeding in the direction of alleged incident. I did 7.63 miles, the fab 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I hope to do a set of weighted bench presses later and either 3 x farmers walk or do a set of hex bar deadlifts. I feel my energy drifting for a bit. Need to recharge. God bless!

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!
