Randall : After the Rain

 I was committed to doing my Friday walk of the Randall Loop. I have been tired in the mornings, but slowly kind of gain a little steam as the day goes on. The morning walk is when I pray and listen to Christian pastors on the radio.  God has blessed me to have this time. It is a sacrifice of getting up very early. The reward is peace and quiet and a great start to the day. The streets were in good shape considering how bad the weather was yesterday. I did 6.40 miles, the fabulous 40, and 2 x Gym Proloux curls and presses. I felt a bit behind schedule, but things worked out okay. I am looking forward to the weekend, except that Charlotte is leaving for the DR on Sunday.  Have a blessed day friends!

Kind of Back to the Routine

  I am getting up really early, but not as early as I had been last year. My intensity is going down a bit, but that’s intentional. You need energy to live life and to enjoy it. This morning I did 2 x Woodlot with a short out and back for 6.27 miles at a moderate effort, the fabulous 40, hex bar deadlifts, and 3 sets of Gym Proloux bench presses. I made it to work on time. Thank you Lord for simple pleasures.

Early Start in Slow Motion

  I intended to get out early so that I could get a 10 k walk in. I succeeded, but due to being tired I went at about a 20 minute per mile pace getting me back at my usual time. I also did the fab 40, 2 super sets of curls and gym Proloux presses, and one super set of core trainer presses and rows. Despite getting out a bit later, I made it to work on time. I have Bible Study and PT tonight, so it’s a busy time. Thank you Lord for your strength, as I have been tired today.

Fatigue Can Make You A Dummy

 I got up this morning at quarter till 4. I was not energetic, but I can deal even when I am not my best. Everything was just a step behind today. I think that this was due to fatigue. I found myself at every step, just a bit behind. My pace on my walk was a bit slower than yesterday. I did the Kastal, Ridge, Raynor, Woodlot figure 8 doing 6.20 at an 8 hard effort, the fabulous 40, 3 sets of Gym Proloux bench presses, and one set of 10 hex bar deadlifts. My leg didn’t shoot straight through the leg in my underwear. Fatigue makes you slow. Thankfully, I made it to work on time. Thank you Lord!

Sunday/Monday

 Sunday- I did the Wading River Hollow/Smith Road Loop, doing the fab 40 and 3 x Gym Proloux Bench Presses and I set of regular. I did two sets of goblet squats and quad stretches.

Monday- I didn’t sleep great or for that long, but thankfully I didn’t my shorter workout since I have physical therapy tonight. I didn’t sleep great 3.73 miles with 7 x Woodlot hill, the fab 40, 1 super set of core trainer presses and bent rows, 2 super sets of curls and presses, and 10 minutes on the recumbent bike. I attempt to do 3 / 10 minute walks at work and physical therapy. The lesser workouts have given me a new lease on my workouts. You’re not stressed and tired when you stay within yourself or as my old mentor used to say “stay on top of your workouts “. Thank you Lord. I am looking forward to returning to Maine!!

Committed

 I am attempting to do  for10 k walks a week with one active recovery day and two shorter days plus biking with fab 40  forty and strength training each day. This morning I did the Kastal/Ridge/Raynor loop. I didn’t get the most sleep, but I did manage to get the work in. I was walking a bit slower today. I got home and did the fabulous 40 plus, 3 x sets of 15 bench presses, plus a set of 10 deadlifts. Sometimes the Lord directs you through the circumstances of your life to get you to make changes. Doing less mileage is definitely giving me more energy and enthusiasm for life. Thank you Jesus! I’m tired!

Wednesday, Thursday

 Wednesday- I decided to try the Wading River Hollow Road and Smith Road Loop for 6.19 miles, the fabulous 40, and Gym Proloux bench presses.

Thursday- 3.64 plus 7 x Woodlot Hill, 10 minutes exercise bike, fabulous 40, 1 set core bar presses and rows, 2 super sets of Gym Proloux curls/presses. I will try to mix up my workouts. Variety and easy workouts are important. 

Have a blessed day friends! Pressed for time.
