Wednesday Mid-July river

 Dixie and my dad meet me down at the river at 11

Walking down to the river Dixie ran in once we got there.


The dog and I enjoyed our time, met other dogs names coco and Luna were there and another down name velcro at another time later on.

Dixie shared pleasantries and sniff and run up tail wagging.


They ran around for a bit.


I never got a photo of velcro. But he was tail wagging also up on the pathway.


My dad walked half way out in the river, it stayed shallow all the way there.  Further out it appeared to come up to the knees.  We talked of the film on the rocks πŸͺ¨ that isn’t algae but comes off the fields since pincher creek, brocket, fort mc cloud, then Lethbridge gets a a turn at it, it’s some kind of phosphate or ammonia that’s covering the rocks πŸͺ¨ makes them a bit slippery.

Closer to the 🐦‍⬛ crowsnestpass there is none of that on the rocks πŸͺ¨. At least one wonders. The water does get warmer by the time it’s here.


The other day the parents came by and gave Kim a shirt πŸ‘š by riding there bikes 🚲 over, we sat out front for a bit . That happened Monday.



This blogged is queued til the end of day.




Mark meets Bryan and I in the river bottom, Bryan got there first. We spent nearly 2 hours in the river, an awesome 😎 time.


Took the umbrella ☂️ for the dog πŸ•, she seems to get hotter than every one else in the sun. ☀️ 

She stayed right by the umbrella ☂️ for the most part.

An enjoyable experience out in the river, Mark

Mentions how quiet 🀫 it is in the river compaired to Lethbridge. It really is, a different place than the rest of Lethbridge here.

I enjoyed seeing mark and Bryan, there great 😊 company.  It’s a pleasure to spend time with both  Mark and Bryan. 

Bryan was laying in the river at the beginning, the dog played ball πŸ€ for the first part and then put the ball on shore, Dixie got so water logged she just sat in the river with us after ball πŸ€.

I think she tired 😴 from all the sun ☀️ we got.



It sounds like you had a great time down at the river with Dixie, your dad, and the other dogs Coco, Luna, and Velcro. It's wonderful to enjoy the outdoors and spend quality time with loved ones. The river bottom seems like a peaceful place to relax and cool off, especially on a hot day. It's nice that you took care of Dixie by bringing an umbrella for shade - dogs can easily get overheated in the sun. 


It's also interesting to hear about the conversation regarding the film on the rocks and how the water temperature changes as you get closer to different areas. It's always fascinating to observe these natural phenomena.


I'm glad you had such a pleasant experience with Mark and Bryan in the river bottom as well. It's always great to have good company while enjoying nature.

Dixie activity minutes are great 😊 she is enjoying my days off from work.




She never πŸ‘Ž πŸ’€ slept good last night, although I think that’s an error cause I had to charge it for a day. To keep the tracker charged πŸ”Œ I think that’s why it says her sleep schedule was messed, I think I put it on her yesterday some time or the day before, so her week average is different. But we’re keeping up with the active lifestyle for her and she’s still above average of active minutes.

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...
