Late but Doing Fine

  I have been just a bit slow this week due to fatigue. Thankfully, I am getting stuff done— I just can’t seem to get it done quickly. This morning I did the Longwood Loop doing 6.45 miles, the fabulous 40, and I did 3 x GP curls/presses. I may do a set of core trainer presses and a set of goblet squats. I will see how I feel. There was an accident today on the way to work that slowed me down. I was a bit late, but thankfully I haven’t had many of those days. In Jesus there is salvation and hope!

Easy Does It

 I have hit the tired section of the school year. Even though I rest I don’t get rested and I wake up, but I am not as rested. Today I decided to do a bit easier workout doing 2 x Woodlot, doing the Woodlot Hill a total of 5 times for 6.33 miles, did the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP bench pro. I may do a set of weighted bench presses and a hex bar deadlift, or not. I will see how my energy is at the end of the day. I have Bible study tonight. I have enough energy for everything, but not always the enthusiasm. Have a blessed day!

Back to whack

 I woke up early, but couldn’t sleep. I just laid there and rested. I went through the morning with a relaxed attitude, just because I lacked the juice necessary to really rock it. I did the Longwood 6.5 miler, the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I hope to get a set of core trainer presses and goblet squats done later. I go from feeling pretty good to almost feeling sick. I definitely am on the weak side of things right now. Stomach is back and forth iffy. Just take it one day at a time. God bless!

New

  I headed out this Monday morning knowing that I have a shortened work day as I have a podiatrist appointment today. I don’t like to take time off, but it’s nice to have a little change of routine. It’s funny how that spare time gets filled with other things. I did the Randall plus 2 x Ryan for 6.87 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I hope to do hex bar deadlifts and weighted bench presses later. Have a blessed day!

Not Quite Right

 Today was a day that a lot of little issues came to a head and seemed like a big issue. I have been feeling on a different page than my wife. She has so much going on with her mother and the non-stop nature of her life. I also am just plain tired. My stomach has been feeling really uncomfortably gassy. All these things together had me feeling like giving up. I just didn’t even feel like trying to help anyone either. The only thing that I know is to keep going—-but sometimes it isn’t easy. I did 6.61 miles, did 3 x GP curls/presses. I may do core trainer presses, goblet squats, and the fabulous 40. We will see if I get it all in. I am still off in how I feel. Lord I need your help to feel better!-please!

Saturday Start

  Charlotte was up early to go on a fun day trip with her friends. Once she stirs, I find that it’s just as easy to get up as to go back to sleep. I decided to do the Woodlot plus 7 x Woodlot hill, and Ridge with 3 x Ryan Avenue for 7.61 miles, the fab 40, hex bar deadlifts, 3 x GP bench presses, and 1 x weighted bench presses. I have leisurely gotten things done here, inside and outside. Looking forward to Charlotte coming home— although it will be in an exhausted state. God bless!

May 1

 I definitely have noticed the fatigue this week. In my younger days I would fight through the fatigue and keep doing the regular workouts. Now, I try to recognize my tiredness and back off a smudging. Today I did the 2 x Woodlot and 2 Woodlot hills each lap for 6.32 miles , the fab 40 , and 3 x GP curls/presses. I’m not sure if I will do a set of core trainer presses and goblet squats or not. My lower back has been sore this week. I have been trying to work around it. I have a doctor’s appointment at two today, so I am taking a half day medical. I have a podiatrist appointment Monday afternoon. I think the half days will help me stay as fresh as I can. I picked Ryleigh up from youth group at 9 last night. I am blessed as a grandparent to be able to be involved in my grandchildren’s lives. Those trips also help me stay young.
