A Good Start

  My life has been better since cutting back on my distance of my walks. My frequency has increased, but the length of my workouts has decreased. Because of this change, I have more enthusiasm and energy and make it to work on time. I did 6.49 miles on the reverse Longwood Loop, the fab 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I hope to do a weighted bench press and a hinge movement later on today. I love the crisp morning air this time of year. Lord willing tonight I will begin packing for my Maine trip. Looking to the Lore!

Monday Haze

  I went to a meet and greet with the stars of Napoleon Dynamite last night. That put me in bed a bit later. I have tried to be more flexible with my schedule, while at the same time maintaining a certain balance of social and rest. I really enjoyed the event. It was actually pretty good and not hokey. This morning I did 2 x Woodlot x Woodlot Hill for 6.25 miles. This allowed me to do a little extra before I left for school. With a trip to Maine, Lord willing in the cards, I am trying to cut back a bit alon with a rest day on Saturday. I also did 3 x GP curls/presses and hope to do goblet squats and core trainer presses later. Going to rest a bit. God bless!

Saturday/Sunday

   Saturday: I did the Longwood Loop trying to get back before Charlotte made it home. I took it easy watching TV with Charlotte until she went back to her mom’s. I did the lawn and 3 sets of core trainer presses with one set of rows. I also did a set of goblet squats. 

  I did the longer version of the Longwood Loop doing 7.1 miles. I also did 4 sets of weighted bench presses and a set of hex bar deadlifts and shrugs. Things have been in flux around here. Things are good, but there are lots of little issues going around. Little, but not minor. The Lord is so good to me. I am learning to trust Him. Trust sometimes means acting when not acting would be easy.

Friday Consistency

 I had a long day yesterday and Charlotte was staying at her parents’ while her father is in Florida. My wife is a thoughtful person who can be depended upon. I did my adopted new route of reverse Longwood. The slight drop in mileage definitely helps me to finish on time. My stomach has been off a bit this week. My schedule has also been in flux because that’s what school does to your schedule. I kick back in certain areas to preserve my strength. It’s alright to make adjustments so that I can be all that I can be. Today I did 6.49 miles, and the GP bench press and fab 40. I hope to do farmers carries , weighted bench press, and possibly hex bar deadlifts. Have a blessed day!

Birthday/Thursday

 Wednesday- Today I turned 62. I was a little bit slow and a little bit behind in all aspects today. I was tired and just couldn’t quite catch up. I even ended up being a few minutes late for work. I did 6.69 miles, the fab 40 and 2 x 25 GP bench presses, and 3 x farmers walk.

Thursday- I shortened up my workout doing 6.26 miles and 3 x GP curls/presses. I am slower and have decided to cut back on my distance a little bit so that I am not so rushed. Little adjustments make for big improvements.

Back 2 It

  I love the usual routine even though there are advantages to days off from school. I get up ridiculously early, but it is with a purpose and I love having the streets to myself and not having to walk as far. I love the time of prayer and solitude. I did the Longwood Loop doing on Niewood for 6.46 miles, 3 x GP curls/presses, and hope to do goblet squats and core trainer presses. I find that this routine provides the bedrock and foundation to my life with the guidance of my Lord! Last day at 61, Lord willing!

Sunday/Monday

 Sunday— I did the Longer version of the Longwood Trail doing 7.23 miles, 3 x GP curls/presses, goblet squats, and core trainer presses and rows.

Monday/ The reverse Longwood for 7.82 miles, 3 x GP bench presses, hex bar deadlifts, and weighted bench presses. We had some couple time, a little necessary shopping, family time, and now kicking back. Going forward while the Lord gives me strength!
