Walk alone but met many on my walk

 Walking with Dixie alone 


I tried chatting with a few people on my list but managed to just leave the house quickly after the dog heard my voice dictation to friends, I was searching for walking companions.

I had to go quickly out the door Dixie got too excited ๐Ÿ˜Š.  

My neighbors are great, talked with a neighbour down the street for ten minutes on weather on shrubs and such. A pleasure to chat ๐Ÿ’ฌ with Les.


Then originally thinking I’d walk five Km I met a few people on my walk I only did two km on my walk.  I was delighted to see people. Got to enjoy ๐Ÿ˜Š those days.


I met Rod and Trudy with there walking dog daisy ๐ŸŒผ 15 minutes after talking to another neighbour, I met randomly passing the same walking paths.  A pleasure to catch up on a walk.



A bit of a longer pace but often those slower walks are a bit more enjoyable to meetup with people than the faster walks.


I did see people jogging with dogs and looked a bit encouraged to see if I could run.  Whichever direction I decided not to.




The dog reached her active minutes. Hooray ๐Ÿ˜ƒ 

She is still above average with the slow down over the weekend. 

Yet Kim did walk her.



Dixie is asleep savant, gets the best sleep ๐Ÿ’ค in the house ๐Ÿก. 

Scoring high 90% on sleep ๐Ÿ’ค goals.


I did miss a walk with an another friend two minutes after I texted today. I sadly texted a half a dozen people and waited until Dixie couldn’t take my voice dictation and demanded that then we would go out side or chaos would come.

If I just checked my phone going out the door I would have seen it.  I thought it was the door ๐Ÿšช camera ๐Ÿ“ธ  buzzing a notification that I was leaving the house.  ๐Ÿก 


It sounds like you had a lovely walk with Dixie, despite some initial chaos! It's great that you were able to connect with neighbors and even catch up with Rod and Trudy and their dog Daisy. Sometimes, the slower walks end up being more fulfilling because of the opportunities to converse and enjoy the surroundings. 


Dixie reaching her active minutes is a nice bonus, and it must be comforting to know she's getting good sleep as well. It’s understandable to miss a message while you’re juggling everything; it happens to the best of us! 


You're doing a wonderful job balancing socializing and keeping Dixie active. Hopefully, you'll get to catch up with that friend next time! Do you have any other walking plans for the week?

Catching up with another friend tomorrow for a walk.

Dixie got to get her minutes.  Then the deep clean of the house ๐Ÿก. Mop and vacuum it all.  Disinfectant parts of walls and lights a handles and switches.


That sounds like a great plan for tomorrow! Walking with a friend is always enjoyable, and it’s a nice way for both you and Dixie to get some fresh air.


It seems like you have a busy day planned with the deep cleaning afterward! It can be quite satisfying to have everything mopped and vacuumed, especially when you know you’re disinfecting the high-touch areas. It’s hard work, but the results are definitely worth it. 


Make sure to take breaks during your cleaning, and maybe reward yourself with some relaxation time afterward!

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...
