Not Alarmed

I have been dealing with a lot per usual of things that are not fun and that are difficult. That said, I forgot to set my alarm and woke up late. Thankfully I was able to get around quickly and had a good pace. I did the Randall extra plus route doing 9.3 miles in 2:01:14 for a 13:01 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 175 feet with an average heartrate of 119 bpm at a temp of 33 degrees and humidity at 62 percent.  The falls sky provided a beautiful backdrop as I meandered down Raynor road to the finish. Tomorrow Lord willing we head to Maine after our Thanksgiving meal at Roger and Gill’s. Have a blessed day!

Back at It

Yesterday, after I got out of my car for work. I noticed that my back was very sore. In fact the fact that I had to take my car into the garage and walk to school kind of added to the pain. My stomach was bothering me and my legs were chapped from my workout. It was a day of aggravation including dealing with my youngest daughter— ugh. My back was sore this morning, but I stretched it out and took some ibuprofens. I honestly was not sure how it would go. I decided on the Medford/Randall/Woodlot Loop doing 8.83 miles in 1:58:09 for a 13:23 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 185 feet with an average heartrate of 113 bpm at a temp of 44 degrees at 91 percent humidity. It drizzled lightly with the forecast of rain. Feeling better today. Have a blessed day!

Saturday/Sunday/Monday

Saturday in the Greenway Trail did 8.01 in 2:09:33 for a 16:10 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 585 feet with an average heartrate of 101 bpm at a temp of 48 degrees and 50 percent humidity. Sunday I did Wertheim doing 3.09 in 56:22 for a 18:10 minute per mile pace at a temperature of 39 and an average heartrate of 90 bpm. Today I did the figure 8 extra plus doing 9.2 miles at a 12:18 minute per mile pace at an average heartrate of 122 bpm. My watch stalled out but the stats are fairly accurate based from extrapolating the data. I’m blessed even in my mess. God bless you!

Missouri Loves Company

A family in turmoil tends to remain in turmoil until the route problems are solved. Sometimes it seems as if the problems are insurmountable, but yet each day you wake up with an opportunity for positive change. That’s all that I am saying as this topic could take more time to explain than I have available. I did the Randall Loop plus extra doing 9.19 in 2:04:17 for a 13:31 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 200 feet and an average heart rate of 122 bpm at temperature of 29 degrees and 48 percent humidity. I felt pretty good and enjoyed the feeling of winter. Have a most blessed day!

Ok not Ok

This was the morning of ok and not ok, with the not ok’s with the edge. I got out slightly later so I chose to run some extra. The problem was that the trash got blown all over the place so I had to regather the trash twice. I also had to make a bathroom pit stop. It was a crisp cool windy fall morning .  I did the figure 8 extra plus doing 9.27 mils in 2:03:15 for a 13:18 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 179 feet with an average heart rate of 124 bpm at a temperature of 38 degrees with humidity at 44 percent. I was comfortablotired when I woke up 

Restless Tuesday

Last night like many nights was one filled with some disappointment.  My daughter Kim decided to stay the night at her friends house rather than come home like she was supposed to. This of course creates uneasiness and sleeplessness for me and disdain for my wife.  When people don’t do what they are supposed to it creates problems for the entire household. Today I did the Medford/Randall/ Woodlot Loop doing 8.86 in 2:01:18 for a 13:41 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 219 feet with an average heart rate of 121 bpm at a temperature of 49 degrees and  a rainy 100 percent humidity. God bless! Good Night!

No School Monday

I woke up later with the extra time afforded me. It was a cold fall morning, but the skies were clear. I did the Scenic Hills, Niewood, Medford Loop doing 9.31 miles in 2:04:53 for a 13:24 minute per mile pace with an elevation gain of 363 feet with an average heart rate of 123 bpm at a temperature of  27 degrees and 85 percent humidity. I am posting this at the Toast Coffee house in Port Jefferson. Have a blessed day!
