I am fighting off some mild congestion and phlegm in my throat. I am cutting back a bit on my workouts for this week. Today I did the Kastal/Ridge/Woodlot/ Raynor figure 8 for 6.2 miles, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do goblet squats and press/rows later. Have a blessed day!

Sunday a Day to Relax
I have been fighting off a bit of a slight cough. I feel like I have some resilience, and hope to cut back a bit and keep my strength up. I did the Wading River Hollow Road’s two hills and back to Woodlot and Ridge for 7.27 miles, the fab 40, weighted bench press x two , 2 x GP bench presses, and hex bar deadlifts. I am going to be patient and not worry, to the best of my ability with the Lord’s help.

Thursday/Friday
I am grateful for this time in my life. I have a job that I like, I have a good work/life balance, I’m able to keep in touch with my parents and daughters, my brother and I talk weekly, I have been able to have regular workouts, that I have intentionally reduced the volume so to make it more enjoyable and allow consistency.
Thursday- I did the Kastal/Ryan/ Ridge/Randall loop for 6.40 miles, the core trainer press//row x 2, GP curls/presses, and goblet squats.
Friday- I did the Longwood Loop for 6.26 miles, 1 x weighted bench press, 2 x GP bench presses, and hex bar deadlifts.
I went to White Oaks Pumpkin farm yesterday with the kindergarten class. Tomorrow we do the Alzheimer’s Walk at Suffolk Farms. Thank you Lord for your blessings!

Faster yet the Same
My pace was a good deal faster today and got me back to the house early. But I even with a good cushion I still left at the same time for school. I did the reverse Randall doing 6.35 miles, the fab 40, 1 x weighted bench presses, and 2 x GP curls/ bench presses, and hex bar deadlifts. Feeling a little tir d right now. Hope to get a short wink loss. God bless you all!

Just Do It
I got up a few minutes later than usual, by design. I just wanted a couple of extra minutes of sleep, and I got them. I did the conventional Longwood/Niewood Loop. I think as just going to try and check off the boxes this morning and not worry about going extra. Sometimes you want to get the work in with a minimum of struggle. I did 6.26 miles, the fab 40, 2 x GP curls/presses, 1 x weighted bench presses, and hope to do goblet squats later. It’s been a good start. Have a blessed day!

I got my first senior discount at the movie theater. I have felt positive with the consistency that goes with back off on my volume and being more relaxed in my attitude without being negligent. I know the Lord is using this season to build my prayer strength. I’m grateful that the Lord knows how to use the seasons of life for His glory.
