On the Path

  I feel like I am staying on the path directed of me. Far from perfect, but faithful. I do 2 x Woodlot/Raynor with an extra hill walk around each lap for 6.24 miles, 1 x weighted presses/rows, and 2 x GP curls/presses.

Have a blessed day!

Small Improvements

 I felt better today, but still had a little laryngitis. I did the Longwood Loop for 6.28 miles, the fab 40, weighted bench press, 2 x GP bench press, and 1 x hex bar deadlifts. I really enjoy the morning breeze that often accelerates the morning workout. It was a good time of prayer and things went fairly smoothly. I’m just blessed in so many ways. I am grateful to the Lord for His goodness and blessings to me!

A Tired Reset

 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!

Saturday-Sunday-Monday

 Saturday: No Char, meant a morning to get out and get some work in. I did my usual figur eight with 3 x Ryan and 6 x Woodlot Hill. I did 1 x core trainer, 2 x GP bench presses, 1 x hex bar deadlifts, and 1 x weighted bench presses.

Sunday: I did 2 x Woodlot +small hill- big hill each lap for 6.2 miles, 3 x core trainer curls/presses, 1 x core trainer row/press, gab 40, and goblet squats.

Monday: A later 2 x Ridge/Kastal + Ryan/Raynor for 6.74 miles, 1 x weighted bench presses, 2 x GP bench presses, fab 40, and fab 40.

 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.

Wednesday-Thursday-Friday

 Wednesday- I did 6.47 miles doing the Ridge-Raynor-Woodlot Figure 8, ai did 2 x core trainer presses/rows, and 2 x GP presses and curls, and goblet squats.

Thursday- I did the Longwood in Reverse for 6.42 miles, 2 x weighted bench presses, 2 x GP bench presses, and 1 x hex bar deadlifts/shrugs.

Friday- I did the Longwood Loop finishing by DD, 1 x core trainer presses/rows, 2 x GP presses/curls, and goblet squats.  Getting the work in but tired. Have a blessed day!

Sunday/Tuesday

 Sunday- I did the summer version of the Longwood loop doing 7.25 miles, 3 x core trainer presses/rows and 1 x goblet squats.

Tuesday- I did 6.45 doing the 1 x Whiskey/Ridge/Woodlot/Raynor figure 8 for 6.45 miles, 1 x weighted bench press, 1 x hex bar chained deadlifts, 1 x GP bench presses. I’m looking at a new mower as my last one went cu-poot. I am keeping track of workouts, but not putting much on the page. One of these days I will put down a few thoughts. I just try to keep going and be consistent. With age marching up I realize that I need to make the days count. For bless you my friends!

Clockwork

 I woke up just before my alarm went off. I immediately started going through my mental checklist of things to do before I get ready for my workout rather than scroll through my phone. I was able to get out a few minutes earlier and to do the Randall Workout plus 1 x Ryan Avenue for 6.55 miles, the fab 40, 1 x weighted bench press, 1 x hex bar deadlifts and shrugs, and 2 x GP bench presses. I had a good commute and a little DD for breakfast. I have a wedding reception tonight after work. I’m looking forward to some extra sleep tonight.

Great Start

 Today fortunately, things seem to flow. I attempted to get things into the schedule and it worked without adding time. It doesn’t always work that way. I decided to do Whiskey/Ridge/Raynor/Woodlot and one extra short Woodlot Hill for 6.48 miles, the fabulous 40, 2 x GP curls/presses, 1 x core trainer presses/rows. I hope to do goblet squats later and possibly mow the lawn. I’m tired today, but thankfully it’s not a stressful work day. Be blessed friend!
