Tired

 Our furnace stopped working last night and I had to go get some fuel . This was done at around 10 PM.  I finished the day tired and frustrated. I woke up at my usual early time. I changed up my Longwood Loop a bit. I was going at a good pace, but I was just cranky. I did the fabulous 40, 3 x GP bench presses, and a hex bar deadlift. I am a a bit out of sorts . At least it is an easier day. My wife and I are going out to eat tonight. I am looking forward to it. God bless you!

Tired but Joyful

 I was feeling a bit tired as I woke up early this morning. I know that I will always enjoy my walk once I hit the dark quiet roads of early morning Ridge. I did the Longwood loop doing 6.5 miles, the fab 40, 1 x core trainer presses/rows, and 2 x GP curls/presses. I hope to get a set of goblet squats in later. Have a blessed day!

Positive Trend

  I don’t always put a lot in my blog posts. I try to be consistent, even when I don’t have the time or the interest. I have dialed my training down, but my workouts have been regular. My workouts right now are not a major task to complete. I do feel good when the work is done. When the workouts are shorter, the interest is higher and so is the enthusiasm. I actually look forward to my workouts where they are not long or tedious. Today I did the Longwood doing 6.51 miles, the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP bench presses. I may or may not do deadlifts and one set of weighted bench presses. We have Bible Study tonight. It makes for a long day, but it’s always good to see the Lord at work. Have a blessed day!

A Change of Scenery

  I had a decent night’s rest. I was actually woken up by my alarm this morning. I quickly went into my morning routine. Even though I am initially tired when I wake up, I slowly wake up as I do my morning routine. I did the Randall route plus 2 x Ryan avenue for 6.88 miles, I did the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do a set of core trainer presses and rows and a set of goblet squats. Have a blessed day!

Cold Returns

 It was back to seasonal weather today. The temps were in the high thirty’s and there was a frost on the ground and on the car. Time for cool weather clothing again. This is why it is important to look at the weather forecast. The pace was decent for a Monday. This was one of those days that underneath it all I felt a bit apprehensive about everything. Part of that attitude is fatigue and partly due to the lifetime issues that go through my mind and that I pray about. By God’s strength, I try to stay consistent. I did the Longwood Loop for 6.46 miles, did the fabulous 40, did the hexbar deadlift, and 3 x GP bench presses. I hope to do a set of weighted bench presses later. I’m looking forward to havmy daughter and granddaughters come over for supper tonight. Kind of lethargic now. Have a blessed Monday!

Sunday Reset

 I have been tired and out of sorts. Yesterday, I was tired and out of my element with company at our house. I haven’t missed a walk in a while, but yesterday it was necessary with a lot to do. I did mow the lawn and do my strength work. Today I did the Woodlot Loop with 7 x Woodlot Hill and the Ridge Loop with 3 x Ryan Avenue for 7.69 miles and 1 x core trainer presses/rows. Today I will attempt to finish my strength work including the goblet bed squat. I am hoppy lay low for a bit now. Have a blessed day!

In A Funk

  I just seem to be spending so much time alone this year. Charlotte has been so busy and of course she has a lot that she is dealing with. I’m not complaining, I just miss the feeling of being connected with her. Today I did the Longwood loop again. I wasn’t out early as I had hoped. I did 6.49 miles, did the fabulous 40, and 3 x GP curls/presses. I hope to do a set of core trainer rows and presses and a set of bed goblet squats this evening. Have a blessed day friends!
