Cool 9

The weather was decidedly cooler today with a temperature of 44 degrees at 79 percent humidity. I headed out at exactly the same time as yesterday, but today I did the Randall extra plus loop doong 9.19 miles in 2:00:54 for a 13:09 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 189 feet with an average heartrate of 117 bpm. It was a brisk , but bright morning. So blessed to be training in such a beautiful climate. Had to mix in some jogging to keep the pace respectable. Have a blessed day!

Fall-Like

I was tired when waking up, after a long day yesterday. My coffee provided the little bit of revival that I needed to get out the door. I did the Medford/Randall/Woodlot Loop doing 8.81 in 2:03:05 for a 13:58 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 198 feet with an average heart rate of 134 bpm at a temperature of 56 degrees at 57 percent humidity. Stuff to do . God is good !

A Mixed Bag

I didn’t go to sleep until I knew the results of the Patriots and Red Sox games. Thankfully, they both won. This morning I hit the Longwood, Scenic Hilla, Medford Loop at a not terrible time. I did 9.15 miles in 2:06:24 for a 13:48 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 358 feet with a resting heart rate of 112 bpm at a temp of 48 degrees and 78 percent humidity even though it was drizzling. I had another slow commute day. My laptop is in my car which is back home since Jace is doing my breaks. Looking to you Oh Lord! Praying for my daughter Rebekah as she has a job interview today!

Stubborn Fool

I woke up and noticed the rain coming down incessantly. I decided to brave the elements, but the rain increased in intensity. I was soaked and I kept walking through deep mud puddles. I was tempted to cut things short, but I was just too stubborn to stop. I did the Randall Loop soing approximately 9 miles in appreciate 2 hours. My watch stopped after 5.36 miles at a slow 14:28 minute per mile pace. I ran the majority of the remaining distance and made it home in good season. My commute was slow, but I made it. Glad the weather is better now and feeling fall-like. My weight was up today after being down yesterday . I need to stay consistent. Have a blessed day!

Tired but Moving

I woke up at my usual time and read my Bible. I was not 100% with it, but God’s Spirit is at work. I got out a couple minutes later than I wanted. My ace has been slow so I have had to do some jogging to keep it respectable. I did the Medford, Randall, Woodlot loop doing 8.66 miles in 1:56:29 for a 13:27 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 198 feet with an average pulse of 120 bpm at a temp of 70 degrees and 95 percent humidity. It was very dark with cloud cover blocking any sort of light coming from the sky. The commute has been a pain rhis year. A little tired , but this is my easiest day. Had a nice conversation with my brother. So glad that we decided to make a commoto keep in touch. Have a blessed day!

Red Sox 4 Yankees 3

I had a shorter night’s rest as I stayed up until the end of the Red Sox game where the Red Sox beat the Yankees 3-1 in the divisional series. This morning I did the Medford, Randall, Woodlot Loop doing 8.81 miles in 2:01:58 for a 13:50 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 197 feet with an average heart rate of 112 bpm at a temp of 68 degrees and 100 percent humidity. My body weight was down to 194 pounds. My blood work came back and I have to go back in another month to check my thyroid. It seems as if my thyroid is under active. Anyway, looks like blood being drawn will be a
way of life. This route is also quiet and peaceful. I had a good time at Bible Study last night. Keep Him first!
