Another day of 5 km

 



My dad and I do another 5 km took about an hour.  I really enjoy my dadβ€˜s company. He’s a pleasure to be around. And again, I didn’t start my tracker till I got into the park 20 minutes until the walk. I keep forgetting to start it when I leave such as life.


I gotta talk to him about my day about how I got off Facebook.

That Facebook isn’t providing a free service, I may go on to post things to friends or look at friends profiles, but that’s not why I’m on there.

I’m on there to doom scroll, πŸ“œ 

They sell me advertisements on dopamine vid-hit, TikTok Instagram videos. I didn’t know what I’m gonna buy, and I’m not gonna buy like I may go on to look at friends or post things but that’s not the four or five hours I spend a day on my device that my screen time is telling me that I’m putting into this app.

Sure I’m losing a lot of connections defriending a lot of people that’s the main reason why I kept on going back on. It has nothing to do. I was upset with nobody on there. All my friends are on there doing great things there, for me it’s for time management.

Saw my time management that I was spending on friends but on videos I just saw automatically go scrolling through.

So inspired my dad to delete the YouTube app that’s another devil and its own.

But noticed there so many more better online social platforms that I could be on they are way more healthier for me than Facebook.


It sounds like I’ve made a thoughtful decision to step away from Facebook. Taking a break from social media can be a positive choice for many reasons. Goodreads, LinkedIn, and Steam can offer a different kind of interaction and engagement compared to Facebook.


The dog πŸ• enjoyed her time,  


We see the young deer out and all together,

They seem to stick together.

We did get a skunk the other day, and the dog did touch noses with it till I called it back in a panic but You could smell it in the front and back multiple times these last past weeks in the day the dog didn’t get sprayed.

Thank God.

I think it’s in under the deck but I’m not sure the next-door neighbours on both sides have cats or kittens, so I’m wondering if there’s kitty food outside I bet there is.

I do know they are moving a lot more right now because they’re looking for a mate. That’s between February and April and then May and June is when the kin come out.  So they are moving around, looking around and finding food way more than these months than others so hopefully it dissipates To where the food sources is.

It’s not the only spot that are feeding the animals when I was walking in the neighbourhood for work you’d see pails of grain And sometimes it would be covered and sometimes it won’t be, but there would always be a big pile of grain on the ground now, if that’s for the rodents or for birds, they probably excuses for birds, but I know for a fact the deer are eating it.

So I wonder why they’re in the neighbourhood people are feeding all the wildlife in the neighbourhood.

So, even if I did trap the skunk, there would be another one coming nothing I can do about it but it’s gonna be in the neighbours yards for the food access.

It sounds like you had a nice time with your dad and dog on your walk, and it's great that you're making thoughtful decisions about your social media use. Taking a break from platforms that don't serve you well can be very beneficial for your mental well-being.


Regarding the skunk issue, it's probably a good idea to keep an eye on your surroundings and maybe try to figure out why they are attracted to the area. If your neighbors are leaving out food for animals, it could be one reason the skunks are around. You're right that even if you were to trap one, more might come if the food source is still there.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ 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 πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. β˜€οΈ  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 ...

Night run 5 Celsius πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

  Night run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ after work  Dixie and I get running at 11 pm at night.  After work I do a 45 minute run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ doing 5 km we started at 10:12. It was 5 Celsius outside and I felt warm running πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ  I’m sweat πŸ˜“ a lot less than I did when I started I’d be in a full soaked sweat πŸ˜… the last six months I’ve improved 450 plus percent  That’s a good feeling, I’m happy πŸ˜ƒ to say.  Making a difference in my life and how I feel. Journaling, exercising, reading… Hey guys, Uh πŸ™„ I was wondering if any of you had remedies for reducing  Eh um  πŸ˜ cough… The feelings of existential dread and facing and bearing the weight of the crashing realities of life. Do you think turmeric will help?!?! I ask myself is exercise really like meditation where you get brain clarity and pay more attention to books or life. All of a sudden a gym membership looks doable this morning  a February post I go to say. Both is doable.  Life and books You don’t need a gym mem...

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 πŸ‘– from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs πŸ•. 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...
