Out in a spring storm

 Out in a spring storm ⛈️ 


Made it out in good weather, finally getting some much needed moisture.  Everything looks way greener now with a good soaking.  We go this isn’t usual weather for us.  I say when we get rain it lots but when we don’t it a bit to little of rain.  So we get so get a bit of rain but usually a little to little rain most the time so I’ll take any kind of rain when we can get it.

I’m ready for it, two umbrellas ☂️ in the car and a handful of work gloves 🧀 


First lap James said no umbrella ☔️ and on the second lap I asked him again and he said his 🀚 hands would be cold πŸ₯Ά. I told him I had extra pair of gloves 🧀 in the car. πŸš— 

James politely uses the umbrella we trade gloves 🧀 once cause his hands were cold πŸ₯Ά and mine were warm.

I bought 30 gloves for $30 off Amazon for work and around the house, or yard work or car πŸš— tire work.  There even capable of still being able to activate a smart phone screen while wearing them.


Dixie got completely wet head to foot 🦢wet and a bit muddy at that. By the time I got home I had five minutes to dry Dixie off and go to writing ✍️ class.

Dixie loved πŸ₯° getting dried off and leaned right into the towel. Once after she thought she had enough drying got her stuffy and tackled the toy bring it to me only to get another round of rub down with the towel.  She stood still and got the idea quickly that I was drying her off so she would be in more of a pleasurable mood in the house also keeps it lot more cleaner.

I really enjoy 😊 going journaling with like minded people wanting to write and get better at story telling.


Dixie is only 19 % above average I got to get her in the πŸ” 1/3 of her breed but I only got one more day left to do it in.

I’ve worked six days in my rotation but since my rotation is on the weekend it only worked out to be five days each week.

No over time.


We walk a good hour a bit slower of a pace with the rain 🌧️ as such I hear from many are achingly making the days go by.

Last two days we’ve reach met our goal of 140 active minutes.


 

The dog is sleeping πŸ’€ good and active good 😊 

So she is a happy dog πŸ•.

And better behaved when walked. And a pleasure to be around.



I’m sleeping good my training readiness has been poor for weeks and I finally got to high training readiness.




I got to get lifting weights πŸ‹️‍♀️ again. Took a break after a poor two weeks of sleep recovery and high stress for what ever the reason it was hard to get πŸ†™ and moving. I did manage to get Dixie’s walk in and I work led out like 2-3 times more than March. May is a new month so even if I get 20-30 weights in for 20-45 minutes on the day I think πŸ€” it’ll be a good month.


It seems like your day was busy with walks, a writing class, and focusing on training readiness and setting goals. I'm glad to hear that you and Dixie are both doing well.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour πŸƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒ‍♂️ 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ƒ‍♂️   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 ...

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Night run 5 Celsius πŸƒ‍♂️

  Night run πŸƒ‍♂️ after work  Dixie and I get running at 11 pm at night.  After work I do a 45 minute run πŸƒ‍♂️ doing 5 km we started at 10:12. It was 5 Celsius outside and I felt warm running πŸƒ‍♂️  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...
