You Never Know

  I woke up at around 5:20 and took my time getting out of bed on this Memorial Day. I read my Bible and prayed before getting out of bed. It was another rainy morning. Yesterday I had the perfect amount of clothing for the rain and cold. Today, I was a little warm. I ended up up taking my glasses off, because they kept fogging up. I did Ridge with 3 x Ryan avenue and the. Woodlot and 7 x Woodlot Hill. As I went past Dunkin Donuts on the opposite side of Middle Country, I notice a pulled over small car with yelling coming from within the car. I stopped and looked back. A lady opened the driver’s side door and told me to call 911. She said that her boyfriend had put his hands on her. I dialed and at that time the boyfriend got out of the car and walked towards me. He was upset that I had “interfered “ and not minded my own business. I was talking to the police on speaker phone with the man yelling at me. He then slapped my phone out of my hand and started walking away. The policeman on the line told me not to engage the man. That’s the last I he from this situation. I continued on with my workout, and noticed two police cars speeding in the direction of alleged incident. I did 7.63 miles, the fab 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I hope to do a set of weighted bench presses later and either 3 x farmers walk or do a set of hex bar deadlifts. I feel my energy drifting for a bit. Need to recharge. God bless!

Fri. - Sun.

 Friday- I woke up a bit later thanks to having the day off. I had the house to myself due to Charlotte watching her mother and then going to Weight Watchers. I did the Woodlot Loop and 7 x Woodlot Hill and Ridge and 3x Ryan Avenue for 7.73 miles, the fab 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I never did the farmer’s walk or hex bar deadlifts. I prioritized the lawn and chores. Thankfully, we made it out to Chester to get the tickets to get on to the West Point grounds.

Sunday- I did 7.18 miles doing the Wading River Hollow out and back and the Woodlot/Ridge Loop for 7.18 miles. I did the 3 x GP curls/presses, with probably goblet squats and core trainer presses and rows. I feel a little off with the schedule a little off. Have a blessed day!

The Day Before

  I have been having a year of a lot of variety of schedule. My wife has been a great daughter taking care of her mother on a regular basis, and spending nights taking care of her mother when her dad leaves for vacation or other occasions. I am comfortable being alone, but spending so much time alone feels strange. This morning I did the Longwood Loop in reverse again doing 6.32 miles, doing the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do goblet squats and a set of core trainer presses and rows. Hoping to do the lawn today. GoBurger day a day early. Looking forward to my nieces graduation at West Point. I like my trips with Charlotte. She is a tremendous companion and I am blessed to have her in my life!

A Different Direction

 One thing that I have been doing for a while is not setting my route 100% before I head out the door. I was intending to do the Woodlot Loop and hills, but I decided to last minute do the Longwood Loop. As I got to the end of my street I decided to turn left and to do my rout in reverse for the first time. I went through this as if I had never been on this route before. I did 6.32 miles, the fab 40, 1 x weight bench press, 2 x GP bench presses, and 3 x farmers walk at school. Have a most blessed day!

Stay Within Your Boundaries

 My workouts this year have been an adaptation between my knee replacement rehab and my former training. I go more times per week in my workouts, but my workouts are less. The enthusiasm to workout is better. I have more energy outside of my workouts, since I’m not so beat up and tired. I always attempt to pray during my walks. It’s easier for me to pray without distractions on my walk. Today I did 2 x Woodlot with a total of 6 times up Woodlot hill for 6.45 miles, the fabulous forty, 1 x core trainer presses/rows, and 2 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do goblet squats when I get home tonight. I am tired, but I am grateful that I do workouts that are attainable and meaningful. Have a blessed day!

Teetering But Going Forward

 I’m tired and dealing with a tired partner. We’re both going forward, things just seem weird and off. I did 6.52 miles doing the Longwood Loop, the fab 40, 3 x GP bench presses and 1 x farmer walk. I am photo get two more farmer’s walks in plus 1 x weighted bench presses. I’m thinking a little negatively, but trying not to. One step at a time today. God bless you my friend. Just tired!

Faith/Self-Doubt

  I woke up early thanks to our shade being open all night, in order to let the air in. I was not wanting to wake Charlotte up, so I stayed in bed until she woke up. Unfortunately, we got off on the wrong step and it’s still in a bad place. I pray that this day ends in a good place. I did 7.52 miles doing the Ridge w/3x Ryan Ave., and Woodlot and 7 x Woodlot Hill, the fab 40, goblet squats, and core trainer presses. Lord help me, thank you!!
