Day 26 – As much as my mind dreams about the good ole days when I was thinner & quicker, my body needs a lot more rest these days. I’ve never been a heavy or long sleeper, buy now I find myself going to bed earlier so I can still get up at 4 AM every day.Continue reading “Living In The Here & Now”

Day 25 – Running is in my blood, but I’m beginning to wonder if it’s still in my bones, especially my feet.  I love to run. More precisely, I love to sprint. Distance stuff is very hard for me. I have new running shoes–so it was time to run. Laced them up tight, stretched myselfContinue reading “Run Forrest, Run”

Day 24 — Today, like most other days in this quest, I worked about as hard as I can work. Maybe, if I were still working with a trainer, I could work a little harder, but I doubt it. I’m pushing myself almost to the edge of my capability. No complaint here, unless talking aboutContinue reading “Another Day, Another Pain”

Day 23 – Have I mentioned that gym life is difficult? Yeah, at least a few hundred times, I think. The upside is better health and, for some, a better looking physique. I pretty much gave up on that last part a good while ago. I have noticed, though, that the harder I work, theContinue reading “It’s A Hard Life, At Least I Hope So”

Day 22 – Last week, after BODY STRONG & BODY ROCK, I talked about the benefits of stretching. I am more convinced than ever that if I had stretched, like I should all the years, I would’ve been injured less and felt better after every workout.  Now I’m learning to do good warm-up stretches beforeContinue reading “Rolling, rolling, rolling”

Day 21 – BODY BASIC Stepping Class is going to be a favorite of mine this year. It’s kind of weird staying in one place with a routine that’s not terribly difficult on the one hand and one the other hand is brutal if you really get into it. I’ll jus t tell you thatContinue reading “Back to the Steps”

Day 20 – This morning, I had the joy of having breakfast with the old guys from TCALF, my generation. I’ve been trying to spend some time with each generational group lately to hear what’s on their hearts and to encourage them as they walk with God. And, of course, I throw in a little fitnessContinue reading “Breakfast with some crunch”

Day 19 – Thursday night was a huge, sweaty success and it did a number on my muscles, especially the ones in my lower back. You probably already know that if your back hurts, your tummy is likely involved and if your tummy muscles hurt, you probably have some back issues. Either way, I wasContinue reading “Aftermath”

Day 18 – I’ve been waiting on this one for weeks. The IFIT strategy is full of good stuff — IFIT Fundamentals — I WILL BE Faithful, Intrepid, Teachable; IFIT Journal — 12 months of scheduled bible reading, meditation, and writing and — IFIT Fitness — a three part, completely gym quality physical fitness program. Back on Day 14 (Sunday) we did BODYContinue reading “BODY STRONG & BODY ROCK”

Day 17 – Back to the gym with brand new shoes; I’ve been training for the last couple of years in stability shoes because my ankles pronate a little (rock inward when I run). Sometimes, shoes can be the difference between a very comfortable workout and one that causes various kinds of pain. Deciding toContinue reading “Full Speed Ahead”
