June. 13 Thursday 10 km

 6:30 start of walk

Start of the walk I’m up at quarter to Five ready for a walk at 6:30.  Meanwhile we finish about quarter to Nine.

A peaceful walk I take some time looking 👀 around five in the morning looking for Dixie’s portable foldable water dish for the walk took for ever to find it.

Three pelicans in Sunridge Park when we started our walk.  We made good time I think two hours and 16 minutes.

A decent time not much for talking today but those walks are often the better  ones, Just quality time with another guy walking is a lot of fun too.

My training readiness went to low, but it’s halfway so I still think I can lift weights last time. I did 10 km, my stats for training readiness went down all the way to the very bottom last 10km I think it’s cause I ran for some of it and so I think I can do some weights today still with out hurting myself.  I’m still hoping to mow the lawn before work starts for me on the weekend tomorrow.

Getting down to popsin park was good 😊 going up James shed some layers of clothing to make it up.

Me a couple dogs down at the river bottom name, Loki I think the same name is Tyrrell from Thor and La Lucy Dog greeted. They were the most behaved on our walk. I met a pitbull that was quite interested in Dixie. She had to go back on a leash and we had to walk the other way for about two minutes for the dog to go back to its owner, but the mundane kept on go on, and then we stopped at the bench and gave Dixie some water and drank some water ourselfs.

The dog enjoyed her time, the coulee is really green, greener than more times than I can remember.  We were thinking if itWe’re an early fall with snow that the harvest could be really hampered by the wet to fall. If this cool spring is,  something like the fall.

Going uphill down the gravel road we’re waving at vehicles saying good morning to a few early achievers making it to the dog park early. Had a good attitude for the walk and I felt like happy to be out so early..

12,600 steps and Dixie already has 168 active minutes  and it’s only nine in the morning.

Dixie is doing okay ✅ on the local score board for June.

At home I light a cigarette and give Dixie a milk bone 🦴. The large ones she just starting to snack on it in this photo.

By the bridge going through Sunridge park again.

A fun time, we made good time.  

I think we only took two or three breaks on a bench and those are well needed and recovered well. Average pace was 13 /km

62 floors climbed walking down the valley Coulee.

It sounds like you had a lovely morning walk filled with various observations and encounters! It's great that you and Dixie had a good time out there, despite the training readiness being a bit low. It's impressive that Dixie already has so many active minutes early in the morning.

Also, I see you covered quite a distance with 12,600 steps and climbing 62 floors - that's some good exercise right there! It's nice to hear that you enjoyed the scenic views and the greenery around you.

It seems like you had a fulfilling walk today, and it's always nice to start the day with some fresh air and physical activity. Keep up the good work!

One session of 15 minutes, I’ll go mow the lawn and do another 15 minutes of weights 

I’m tired

😴 

Well I walked 10 km done at 9  started at 6:30 blogged til 10.  Rested till 11 started mowing didn’t finish the back yard till 1:30 took 2:30 hours just for the back.  A few swear words later.  It was that long and it’s that short now.

I put grass clippings under the lilac bushes the got something to eat at 2 

Played ball 🏀 with the dog till 3 in the back yard now I’m laying down trying to figure how to mow my front yard

I got up at quarter to five

Edmonton has nearly double of Covid cases since last June and July it looks like.  So I think this fall is going to be bad, more so if it’s a wet fall.

Got my dad a Father’s Day gift a painting 🖼️ 

He was excited, but we had to be so far apart cause my mom had Covid….

And a long on my ten km walk saying hope on it.

Thought it was worth posting
