To the Hill

  Thankfully, I have been able to get around and get going in the morning despite the early start times. I have also been able to get to school at a decent time. It has been a busy yet good week with my daughter Kim and her family visiting with us. I hope to bring them to Bible study tonight. This morning I did the 8 x Raynor Hill plus a little extra hill segment for 6.45 miles, the fab 40, 2 x core trainer presses/rows, and 1 x GP curls/presses. It was a cool breezy morning with the temp in the 20’s. Today was a good change of pace. God bless!

Cold Refreshing Tuesday

  I had a fairly decent night’s sleep and things went fairly straight forward for me this morning. Last night, the rain and the wind were ferocious. I had to bring our garbage can into the back yard.This morning I was welcomed by a raccoon who fortunately ran away when I stepped out of the door. The Longwood Loop has been the perfect loop for me so I hit it again. I did 6.5 miles, the fab 40, 1 x weighted bench press, and 2 x GP bench presses. The workout was comfortable. I actually like breezy overcast mornings. I had a good morning of prayer. I find that I need this time in the morning as it gives me the spiritual strength that I need for my family. Have a blessed day friend.

Friday Finish

 I woke up a bit earlier, but just stayed still until my alarm went off. This has been a good week of training. I decided to stay with my Longwood Loop, as it just seems to fit my mood. I did 6.47 miles, the fab 40, 3 x GP bench presses. I may try a set of weighted bench’s later. I will try to reflect more this weekend. God is good!

Positive Development

  I had one of those mornings where the flow was there and things fell smoothly for me. It is nice to have mornings like this. It is an encouragement to keep going. The thing about this portion of my life is that I am not trying to always push my limits. This allows me to have a reserve when I need it. Today I did the Longwood loop again at a sub 18 pa e for 6.5 miles, did the fab 40, 3 x GP curls/presses while sitting on a pillow during curls to add resistance. Late on I hope to do a set of core trainer presses and possibly rows with a set of two of goblet squats going down to the bed and up. Praying for my granddaughter Ryleigh as she is not feeling well and has Covid. I just have that positive feeling today and am happy about it! God bless you my friend.

Smooth Going

  I was pretty tired this morning. I am still getting used to this time change. I know that regardless of how tired I am when waking up, that once I get moving I usually make out just fine. I have been sticking to the Longwood Loop for 6.47 miles, the fabulous 40, 1 x weighted bench presses, and 2 sets of GP bench presses. Last night I did another set of core trainer presses and a set of goblet squats down to the bed. I had a good time of prayer this morning. My daughter turns 28 tomorrow.

Foggy Stroll

 I was a bit more tired this morning, but commitment and habit got me out of bed and onto the street. I did 6.5 miles on the Longwood/Rolling Hills loop, plus the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I may try some squats and core trainer presses later, Lord willing. This time change is taking some adjustment. Have a blessed day!
