Walk with Leif plus 11 outside and got productive training status

 Even if it was only plus 11 outside it was getting to be warm outside


By the river, the dog did go in, I had to lay down another blanket in the vehicle ๐Ÿš— instead of the quilt i had down, I had on the back seat not to get the vehicle or quilt dirty.

I had fun ๐Ÿคฉ 

Dixie had a great time


Dixie with her funny facial expressions, we met another dog on our walk name Nigel. I said that was a cool name.

Dixie’s antics are pretty funny at times, but she was out of the water the entire time till the end of the walk but such as life it was all right. The dog got in the vehicle OK and everything turned out great.

A rarity of a name not on a dog but on a person also.



The river is lower than it’s usually been, and some people made rock pools in the river. The rock pools are all but on the edge of the river that’s how low the river has gotten that you can hardly see the rock pools anymore or the rock damn that used to be on the side of the river. It’s gone down that far.

The birds seems amused by them. When water was in tomorrow, it was blocking the water from moving. We’re slowing in the water down.


We walk a good 3.3 km but I started the tracker 15 minutes into the walk. So it would have been closer to 4 km.

Dixie’s sleep interruptions are a minimum last night after a few bad days.

A good change of behaviour.

I think my dog really needed these ten days off.




Since my time off I’ve got all four days achieved for the time of activity she needed to be above her breed score.

After today it’ll be five days in a row of scoring her activity minutes.


At the beginning of our walk I buy us coffee, ☕️ from Tim Hortons๐Ÿ˜Š


Coffee is a great ๐Ÿ˜Š drink.

The wind was strong at seven in the morning but the morning after the sun came up slowed down from blowing so hard then by 11 picked up a bit more.

But not what it was last night.

It’s a pleasure walking with Leif, he’s a great conversationalist.

And happy ๐Ÿ˜ƒ we got to go for this walk on the weekend. Usually I’m working weekends so it’s somewhere of a pleasure o get a weekend off.

And to walk with some one different for a change.

It sounds like you had a wonderful adventure out by the river with Dixie! Your description really captures the joy of spending time outdoors, especially when the weather starts to warm up, even if it’s just a little. 


It's great to hear that the walk was enjoyable and that Dixie got to socialize with another dog, Nigel. Dogs can be so expressive, and it’s fun to see their personalities shine through, especially with their funny faces. 


It must have felt rewarding to achieve your activity goals after giving Dixie a break. Four consecutive days of activity tracking is impressive, and it’s fantastic to hear that her sleep has improved. 


Having coffee from Tim Hortons adds a nice touch to your walk—nothing like a warm drink while enjoying nature! Plus, catching up with a good friend like Leif makes the day even better. How lovely it is to have the opportunity to share those moments on a weekend off!


Do you have any other plans for the weekend or upcoming walks?


Cleaning the house, ๐Ÿก and garage and detailing the Mazda to sell it soon.  Those are some goals.



Dixie is climb from rank 28 on the leadership board in October to rank 26. She’s doing good..

๐Ÿ˜Š 


Dixie is now at my feet ๐Ÿ‘ฃ, relaxed ☺️ and having a good morning.

And I’m supper happy, ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I’ve gone from maintaining my fitness status to being productive for my training status.


All good news all before noon.

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...
