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 😊 my time with her.


Or walk end more so with 🐾 paw printed pants πŸ‘– from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs πŸ•. 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 🌳 there are gone from beavers, 🦫 the other area got fenced off and kept all its trees 🌳 

You sure hear it in the noise around popsin come paired to the trees around cottonwood park.  Absolutely silent by the trees for outside noise but you could hear stuff pawing it hoofing through the fallen leaves πŸ‚.



The usual spot to see the River on how high it is from usual blog posts looks a bit lower. The dog never went into the water, which I was grateful for because I didn’t wanna have a wet dog in the vehicle.
πŸš— 
We thought both my mom and I thought the river was a few feet lower than it was in summertime.
Talked about the beavers and how popsin park didn’t fence off the trees and that’s why there’s less trees in the area. I found that interesting. The map we did walking around, I forgot to start my tracking watch to see my activity but the dog tracker kept it up.

Dixie’s active minutes are great. Our sleep was it had the most interruptions it has all week..

I wonder why that is,

I felt sick in the morning. 

So we but didn’t sleep good, well I slept good but had an unbalance HRV.

That makes today a bit less productive.



Dix is on track to getting above average for a breed if I keep it up for my time off of work right now, so I’m excited about reaching out for similar dogs being above her breed. By 11 we are just 40 minutes away from getting her active minutes

What a beautifully reflective piece about your walks with your mom and your dog, Dixie! It captures a sense of connection with nature, family, and the little moments that make life special. Your observations about the river, the trees, and the dogs create vivid imagery. It’s relatable how you balance your thoughts about life and the present moment with the fun chaos dogs bring.


The way you describe your feelings towards not always being productive, yet finding joy in these walks, resonates deeply. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best moments are those spent disconnected from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

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...
