A walk around

 Henderson Park lake


I meet up with the SSA to go for a walk with Allyson.  We were the only ones who showed up today.  Dixie loved it and it was the first time we walked all around the entire lakeside with group for me.


There were hay bails at the park, Allyson said they might be for horses 🐎 cause they do horse rides around the park in winter and they might of started for it.

We took a picture by it since it’s different.

Later in our walk we talked about art and chiaroscuro and in horror movies 🎥 


I mention the doctors office making art around the office deep in thinking 🤔 rather than the postmodern new centre of thought experience.

We said hello 👋 to many people walking around the lake.  One comment was how a dog feels being naked in a room unable to speak 🗣️ and being touched by everyone.  Dixie is,.. well done 👍 she gets handled lots on our walk.

People with disabilities stop to pet her and she enjoyed her self care on the walk.  A good day for her. I made her sit multi times to no jumping up. She listen 👂 and smelled every thing.  


Allyson and I start talking if Dixie doesn’t like 👍 smelling anything. And I said it’s rare usually she wants to smell everything.  Like poop 💩 for one thing.  I don’t think 🤔 Allyson would think that was a good thing.



She is now calm not barking at anyone looking at her corner of the window where the blinds lift up to look out 👀 side.


Looks like a new park of Henderson is the post on the side and a step into the lake.  Looks like a redone part of the park.  Still had some construction 🚧 tape out on this side of  the park.


Kind of wish more people joined the walk. But am also happier that we got to walk around the entire pond. So is Dixie. She needs her walks.

I’m off to work later today so I got my walk in today.  I am already at 5000 k steps.  Should be a good day if it’s a busywork day.



Thanks to Allyson for hosting the groups walk.

It goes every Monday at 10 am for summer hours but autumn 🍂 is only 10 days away.


So that might change things for it, other than that I thought 💭 depending on the group, how large it is sometime we don’t walk the full circuit around the lake.  


Henderson is one of the larger ponds in Lethbridge to walk around. The water looked a bit dirty but there was a motorboat 🛥️ coming into dock when we notice this park of the lake.


A fun time.


I kept looking over at the north side of the park to see if I could see my wife. She said she would be there an hour earlier, but seemed we were passing each other due to our timing.


An excellent day for a walk, only so many more walks with weather and sun ☀️.

Over all Allyson said she look forward to working as a colleague with Kim this Wednesday and said she would try to be in on Friday to meet with Kim when she starts her new job.  Looks to be an exciting time for Kim and I, and I’m happy everyone has been so friendly and supportive for Kim to start there.

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...
