Mini Me

  This morning my alarm woke me up. I felt so tired. Everything that I did seemed to take effort. My Bible reading took forever to do. It took me a long time to get dressed. When I finally got out the door it was on the late side of normal. My pace was decent, but I had to make one pit stop. I got back later and modified my work to the fab 40, 2 x 20 reps GP bench presses, and 6.75 miles on the Randall plus 1 x Whiskey to Kastal and back. Even though I’m a little behind, I’m grateful! 

Back After It

  I decided to try the Longwood Loop as it looks like there is enough of a shoulder on the road to walk on. I was surprised that the roads were nearly empty. I guess the cold wind chills have forced most people back into bed. As hard as I tried, I just couldn’t get ahead despite my early wake up time. I did 6.35 miles and 3 x GP curls/presses. Just too many layers of clothes and too many things to do. I am try to head into my physical at the best version of the present me on Wednesday, Lord willing . Have a blessed Monday!

A Little Extra

 I have my yearly physical coming up on Wednesday, so I gave myself an extra workout this week. I don’t usually do 7 days, but I am enjoying getting outside in the freezing cold because I have plenty of cold weather gear. I’m hoping that maybe I Eve a pound lighter at my physical. I don’t have to teach at church so I have a little extra time. I did 6.31 miles and 3 x GP bench presses. This cold weather takes extra time and extra energy. I’m staying warm by the fire with my grandchild and stepson’s family at our house. Have a blessed day!

Freezing Cold Like Maine

  I went into the day with mixed thoughts. I was wishing that I had the wherewithal to go to the hotel with Charlotte and the family, but I just didn’t have it in me. The new day however, brought new strength. I went into the 7 degree temperature glad to have the strength to walk the streets of Ridge. Although my heart is in Maine, I am in a place where the Lord has provided me with the things that I need and more. I did the Randall Route with 1 x Ryan, and 2 x Whiskey to Kastal for 7.04 miles , the fabulous 40, 2 x GP curls/presses, 1 x core trainer presses/ rows , and 1 x core trainer presses.  The day ended fine. Thank you Lord!

Randall

 I switched things up for today and it worked out just fine. I went 

To my standard Friday workout of Randall Road. I needed a change of pace and the roads were fine. I did 6.37 miles, the fabulous 40, and I did 3 x GP bench presses. I’m tired now. My wife is taking Ericka and the girls and Amber and the kids to a nearby hotel with a pool. Kind of not sure what I will do. Have a blessed day!

Status Quo

  I went into my morning thinking that I may try to do a different route, but I thought the better of it and stayed with my trusty two looper. On colder mornings there is so much prep involved, that extra time is needed. So many layers and accessories. The only change was that I changed the direction of my loop on the second lap. I noticed that the roads are clearer and that it’s slightly lighter at the end of my walk. I did 6.38 miles, the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is Friday. Have a blessed day!

Better Roads

  This morning I woke up before my alarm went off. The early start was needed to make up for the lagging behind that I did in other areas. When I went out, I found that Raynor Road was  at least half tar exposed. I had a good time of prayer although I felt tired . I did the 2 x Ridge/Kastal/Raynor for 6.39 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I have had a good morning of teaching. Happy to be chasing my wife around. Have a blessed day!
