Thursday/Friday: Busy in the Smoke

 Our weather has been affected by forest fires in Canada. There is a stench in the air that smells like the old dumps that existed before landfills. I did the Longwood Scenic Hills loop on Thursday doing 7.18 miles, the fab 40, 3 x farmers walk, weighted bench press, and hex bar deadlift/shrugs. On Friday I did GP bench presses, weighted bench presses, goblet squats, the fab 40, and 7.07 miles doing Longwood in reverse. Today I am having an easy day inside from the rain with Char.

Wednesday Back to the Monday Route Fown Red Maple

  I did 7.12 miles headed in the opposite direction and coming home from Wading River Hollow Road. I did the fab 40, and 1 x core trainer presses and rows, and hope to do more, including goblet squats. I am trying to keep things consistent, enjoyable, and doable. Today is hot, so I am trying not to do much as I do not do well in the heat. Thank you Lord for

Helping me!

Tuesday Longwood in the Opposite Direction

  I headed out towards Wading River Hollow Road and up Cliffwood Lane and down Scenic Hills and up Niewood and finish by DD for 7.00 miles. I hope to do 3 x weighted Bench presses, the fab 40, 3 x farmers walk, and 1 x hex deadlifts and shrugs. Hope to enjoy some inside chores today. God bless you

Monday Back in Ridge

  It seemed like awhile since I was on the roads of east central Long Island. It was only two weeks, but so much happened in those two weeks. One week ago it was the streets of Hope followed by a trip to Greenville with my parents. Today it was an early trip around the Longwood Loop reversed going down Red Maple Drive. I did see another walker and a jogger on Wading River Hollow Road. I took the time to workout and pray. The mornings at camp were quiet and peaceful just before the counselor devotions. Today, it was the comfort of routine at home that was soothing. It’s funny how this busy place has become my home. It is not as busy as my work in Roosevelt. Where the Lord places you you will experience peace. I did 7.01 miles and hope to do my core trainer presses/rows, the fab 40, and goblet squats.

Sunday Changes

   I was planning on doing the Longwood Loop finishing past DD in Ridge. At around the halfway point I received a phone call from Char. Apparently, my mother in law’s aid didn’t show up to take care of her. So I had to streamline my workout and try to get back as soon as I could. I stayed on the Smith Road and headed home for exactly 6.2 miles. Laura from church stayed with Gill until I arrived. I was able to do the fab 40, weighted bench press, 1 set of hex deadlifts with shrugs, and 3 x GP bench presses at my in-laws. I ordered a few things online for the summer and Finland. We are headed to the Mets/Red Sox game today. I am glad to be home and in my routines. I seem to function the best that way. Thankful for little blessings.

I did my strength work at my parents with weights and at camp and Eastport with my strength bands and my push up board. I did not have time to blog or even reflect on my workouts. I was pleased and thankful to be able to get my workouts in along with wonderful visits with my parents and my daughters Katie and Kim. The week at camp was good. I was able to mainly work amongst doing all my camp duties. I will try to keep up on my blogs. It’s nice to be home. Did my lawn and hedges today. God bless you my friends!

More Positive

  I woke up tired, but I knew that once I got going that ai would be fine. Today was a better day. I hav e felt more positive about things. I am slowly chipping away and getting ready for camp. Fortunately I have the buffer of going to my parents first. I did the Longwood loop in reverse for 6.57 miles. I did the fab 30 and 3 x GP curls/presses, hope to do goblet squats and core trainer presses and rows  I am kind of sad about school ending and kind of happy at the same time. Looking forward to what the Lord is doing!
