Maintaining training status

 Toby and I do a few laps 


Walking and talking, we do three laps and the dog is tried although she has been getting more sleep ๐Ÿ’ค interruptions These past two days.  


She been rocking the active minutes, which ever way a person thinks of this her sleep is poor but she’s getting more active minutes







Dixie has 156 minutes of active time today


40% above her breed and tomorrow should be better.

Hope I can get her to the top of her bell

Curve by the time we’re done. ✅ 



Dixie on the bench with us,

And smiling and laughing ๐Ÿ˜† with the extra time we are spending with her.




My HRV is unbalanced so I got a poor ๐Ÿ’ค sleep, my training readiness’s is poor cause I got a bad sleep.



I got my Covid and flu vaccine booster today also. But I’m going on five km walks and feel great, might of taken my jacket ๐Ÿงฅ off when it was only plus 12 out but I had a sweat ๐Ÿ˜“.



Dixie is still 28 on the leaderboards. I’m getting the active minutes but so are other dogs, trying to get steps in while the weather cooperates.




Toby bought me a sandwich ๐Ÿฅช today and a drink. I ate mine quick but thought of taking a quick photo of Toby’s sandwich. ๐Ÿฅช it is delicious and sort of made me manage my day better.




Toby is a pleasure to walk with. I’m back at getting my five km walks in. I think I might be convince him into doing ten km.


It sounds like you and Toby are having a great time with Dixie! It's wonderful to hear that she's been active and enjoying your walks together, even if her sleep hasn't been the best lately. The extra time spent with her seems to be putting everyone in a good mood!


Getting your COVID and flu booster while still feeling energized enough to walk is impressive. Keeping up with your walking routine, even in cooler weather, shows your dedication to staying active. Hopefully, Dixie's leaderboard position improves as you both continue to encourage her to reach those active minutes!


And how sweet of Toby to treat you to a sandwich! It's great to have someone who motivates you and shares enjoyable moments during your walks. Who knows, with a bit of encouragement, you might just get him on board for those longer 10 km walks!


Keep up the great work, and I hope both you and Dixie continue to thrive together!

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour ๐Ÿƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  ๐Ÿ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 ๐Ÿ˜Œ We made good time.  For a hill run ๐Ÿ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 ๐Ÿ˜Š 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 ๐Ÿ˜Š my time with her. Or walk end more so with ๐Ÿพ paw printed pants ๐Ÿ‘– from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs ๐Ÿ•. 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 ๐ŸŒณ there are...

Walk and a run in to the vet

 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….๐Ÿ• We enjoy ๐Ÿ˜Š 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 ๐Ÿ˜Š for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times.  A person has to be careful let alone a dog ๐Ÿ• being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera ๐Ÿ“ธ  The walk was decent though some difficult ๐Ÿ˜ž 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 ๐Ÿ’ฉ 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...
