Routine

I woke up at my usual time to do my new standard loop the figure 8 extra plus doing Woodlot backwards. I started out with slow splits so I had to include some jogging to get back in good time. The streets are black and empty making me feel peaceful. I work out, pray, and dream as I continue along the streets of Ridge in the early morning hours. Here are today’s stats- 9.02 miles in 2:00:42 for a 13:22 minute per mile walking pace with an elevation gain of 214 feet with an average heartrate of 119 bpm with the temp in the 60’s with cloud cover.  I was disappointed to see my bodyweight at 197.  Not being careful and eating out caught up with me. I will have to tighten up. Have a blessed day!

Overcast

I got out later as I was off from school, plus I had blood work at 9. I did the Longwood, Scenic Hills, Medford Loop doing 9.41 miles in 2:12:55 for a 14:07 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 340 feet with an average heart rate of 115 bpm at a temperature of 62 degrees and 97 percent humidity. I felt pretty good. It was food not being rushed in the morning. Now we are heading to Montauk Lord willing. God is good!

Sunday Surprise

I decided to do something as I was very sedentary yesterday. I decided on the Greenway Trail even though I knew that I would have to do something to pick the pace up given the amount of time allotted. So I race walked most of the trail making my customary stop at Starbucks to get my Nitro Cold Brew. I also ran some on the way back in order to stay ahead of a runner. I did 7.56 miles in 1:33:22 for a 12:21 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 502 feet with an average heartrate of 137 bpm at a temp of 70 degrees and 95 percent humidity. What started out as an afterthought turned into a decent workout. Blood drawn tomorrow. God Bless!

Ridge Road Again

I took the day off from work as I am heading to Alfred State with my wife to attend parent weekend. I got out a bit later as I watched the Patriots play the Colts in Thursday night football. I did 9.5 in 2:13:16 for a 14:01 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 146 feet with an average heart rate of 114 bpm at a temperature of 62 degrees and humidity at 84 percent. Kind of slow , but it didn’t matter. I did 5 sets of squats this morning. Over halfway now, at a local diner a few miles back. Have a blessed day!

Doing Alright

I got out the door in good season, but my walking pace has been off. To compensate I did some interpersped jogging. The result was a good average workout. At least my body weight is down and my bench press and chin-up reps are up. I did the figure eight extra plus doing the Woodlot loop in reverse. I like this loop as it offers the least traffic . Here are the final stats- 9.06 in 2:01:23 for a 13:24 minute per mile with an elevation gain of 178 feet with an average heartrate of 119 bpm at a temp of 64 bpm and 91 percent humidity. Had a nice 2 mile walk with my wife at dusk at Wertheim. God Bless!

Tuesday/Wednesday

I did 9.04 miles in 2:05:27 for a 13:52 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 169 feet and an average heart rate of 108 bpm at a temp of 66 degrees and humidity at 99 percent. Today I did 9.04 miles in 1:59:56 for a 13:15 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 169 feet and an average heart rate of 123 bpm at a temperature of 64 degrees and 96 percent humidity. I did the figure 8 extra plus doing the Woodlot in reverse. I’m really liking this loop. God Bless! Good to have Charlotte home!

Interrupted Sleep....

but God saw me through. I had a good weekend with my daughters and granddaughters. God had me here for a purpose. My daughter’s evil ex boyfriend called her by some anonymous snap chat account and told her that he would publicly release private conversations and kill her boyfriend. Needless to say she was shaken up. This kept me up for an hour , but thankfully I was able to get back to sleep. I decided on the figure 8 extra plus after reading my Bible. I like the quietness of this loop,and I have been reversing the direction of the Woodlot Loop so that I end on a quiet note instead of passing through Middle Country. Here are the stats -8.85 miles in 2:03:05 for a 13:54 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 162 feet and an average heart rate of 114 bpm at a temperature of 58 degrees and 93 percent humidity. I met my movement goal yesterday mainly because I walked up and down the street until I met the goal. Looking to the Lord for His guidance! God bless! I think Charlotte will be back tomorrow from Hawaii.
