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!!

Instinct

  I have not needed quite as much sleep lately. Thankfully, I have been blessed to be able to stay on the move with a busy for me life. I went to bed a bit later, but fell immediately asleep. I woke up a bit before my alarm, took 5 sips of coffee, and lied resting. Just before my alarm was to go off I turned the alarm off. I then went into my morning routine. Things went fairly smoothly, but there was a hint of tiredness. I decided to do the Randall Loop with 2 x Ryan avenue for 6.8 miles, did the fabulous 40, 1 x weighted bench press, and 2 x GP bench presses. I will attempt to do 3 x around the gym farmers walk to replace the deadlift. Last night we had a good time of discussion at Bible Study. The Lord is definitely at work. Lord willing, I pick up Ryleigh tonight after youth group. As a grandparent it is a blessing to be able to be involved in your grandchild’s life. God bless you my friend!

Smooth

  From the beginning, the day shaped up nicely. I just kind of started out on a productive note. I kept checking things off on my checklist that needed to be completed. This got me out in really good season and kept me a little ahead of schedule. I did the Longwood Loop doing 6.42 miles, the fab 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do a set of core trainer presses and goblet squats later. Going to rest now. God bless you!

Beginning of a Long Day

 I headed out in good season. I did the 2 x Woodlot with 3 Woodlot Hills each Loop for 6.34 m, the fab 40,  1weighted bench presses , 2 x GP bench presses, and 1 set of hex bar deadlifts. It’s nice to have Charlotte back home. My arthritic toe was sore at work today. Doing better now. Another short entry. Just recording my workout.
