Back in Business

I did a trail walk on Sunday and the Ridge Loop this morning.  I took yesterday off as my lower hamstring and upper calf were giving me problems which kind of revealed themselves Sunday-- first after doing my last set of chin-ups and secondly after carrying my kettle bell back to the closet. Thankfully with the help of ibuprofen, rest , and stretching I made it out this morning. I was a little worried. I wear a knee support during my workout and aso during the day to provide extra support. Sunday doing the longest Brookhaven Loop did 5.31 in 1:26:41 for a 16:18 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 130 feet with an average pulse of 102. Today I did the Ridge Loop doing 8.61 in 1:58:48 for a 13:47 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 110 feet with an average pulse of 121 bpm at a temperature of 44 degrees at 100 percent humidity. Rebekah is back home. Looking for the Lord to do great things!

Finally

It was nice to get out at my usual time this morning. I did the Ridge Road Loop. As with past Fridays I found that my walking pace was slow the first 4 miles. I decided to run starting on Woodlot. Thankfully this elevated my performance to a standard level. I did 9.02 in 1:58:16 for a 13:05 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 116 feet with an average pulse of 127 at a temperature of 53 degrees at 71 percent humidity.  Google has been slowing me down with security protocols the last two days. Have a blessed day! Blessed to get the workouts in!

To The Hills

I did 9x hill sprints with warm-up and cool down . Here are the final stats--7.1 miles in 1:24:29 doing 11:53 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 339 feet with an average pulse of 141 bpm with a temp of 70 with 55 percent humidity. I had been in the ER for around 30 hours. Thankfully I got a walk in yesterday and hill sprints in today! It was nice to get a good night's sleep in. God Bless!

Mid Day Trail Walk

I had a horrible night's sleep due to staying with my daughter in the ER. Fortunately I have had a few breaks allowing me to go on a walk on the Greenway trail as well as do a little strength work. Here are the stats-- 7.63 miles in 2:15:31 for a 17:45 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 568 feet, with an average pulse of 97 bpm at a temperature of 80 degrees and 80 percent humidity. I am thankful for being able to get the work in. Now I am looking to the Lord to help my daughter! Written in the ER of Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson, NY.

Feeling Empty

I don't my life is worse than other people's lives, I just know that
I feel like I am at the end of my rope.  So many problems. Thankfully I have people to pray with me
and I can work out. This morning I did the Scenic Hills,Niewood, Medford Loop soing 9.16 in 2:00:28 for a 13:08 minute per mile walking pace and an average pulse of 115. My Bluetooth was off so I am not sure of the elevation gain. God Bless you my friend!

Friday

On Friday I did the Scenic Hills, Niewood, Medford Loop extra doing 9.12 miles in 2:03:23 for a 13:31 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 339 feet with an average pulse of 120 bpm with a temp of 66 degrees at 63 percent humidity. I ran a bit with running friend Chuck as he was finishing up His workout. A very trying day! Thank you Lord for strength.

Good Monday
