Walk with my Dad

 A few good moments


We get walking I think around 40-45 minutes of walking.  I got got to start my watch properly so I never caught that it wasn’t on til 15 minutes in the walk.


A good walk we made some good progress.  We pulled out the tape measures to see how big my garden 🪴 is.  See how much space there is to plant.

After we go for a walk at about 3:30 🕞 

Kids were getting out of school but the park wasn’t busy at all. Dixie had a fun time. I dryer Dixie off with a towel again. Some bonding time, Dixie is very good at lifting her feet up and letting me rub her down to get dry.  She enjoys it, helps the house being clean also.


I am running in 3 hours of sleep again, sadly this is the worst I’ve slept for months.  I think the last time it was this bad it was the night of New Year’s Eve. December 31. And I got four hours of sleep that night. With work been so busy.

Almost 10 k steps by this evening I’ll be there for steps. Not that 10 k is the goal but I’m happy when I get there.

Tonight is a go to sleep early night. Yet I tried to last night to go to sleep but just couldn’t shut my head down.


The amount of water 💦 melting is lots, it is moving for sure.  Dixie has had two walks and pending another one later this evening hopefully.

So Kim is making supper ready and for us. I’m taking the dog for a walk.  It’s going to be a good night.

This is the first time I’ve walked with my dad since late August. After his motorcycle 🏍️ accident.  We did almost an hour walk I 🤔 thinking.

Before we were walking 2-3 times a week and now we finally get walking after a whole winter stop 🛑 of recovery.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run 🏃‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

Walk mid October with my Mom

  Walks with my mom The water looks like glass just crystal smooth.  My mom and I are walking to the river and in life. It’s like we’re always walking away.  Getting closer to the end, my poet mind says.   I say I got to enjoy these walks and I was silent most the walk just trying to enjoy 😊 my time with her. Or walk end more so with 🐾 paw printed pants 👖 from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs 🐕. A wonderful time.  I often thought it was too early to spell like alcohol.  But surprised to pass another walker, but each to their own I probably smell like an ashtray. Although I never smoked or chewed tobacco on my walk.  I just want to walk with my mom.  Often times I don’t think I could spit out everything I wanted to say so much so that I just said in these moments you don’t have to chew tobacco and say anything. Dixie and both us individually by the fallen tree arch. A path going to the river, under which most the trees 🌳 there are...

Walk and a run in to the vet

 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….🐕 We enjoy 😊 our walks. Up top of the coulee you can see the university  Sonny and I go walking the south side dog park,  it tricky terrain for sure.  It’s nice 😊 for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times.  A person has to be careful let alone a dog 🐕 being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera 📸  The walk was decent though some difficult 😞 parts for today, Dixie is on a 14 day hiatus from walking.  She’ll probably want to go sooner rather than later. I think we’re stuck to just five minute poop 💩 walks than the hour or two hour walks we usually do. I’m unsure when it happen but my guess is near the end of the walk when I noticed it. Dixie gets to close to the bushes today, I kept looking her over but noticed a different spot on her at the end of our walk.   Dixie goes through some bushes and gouged a piece out of her. Now Dixie has th...
