Personal record 4km in 34 minutes

 Toby and I are running in Popson park.



Making my personal record for the longest running I’ve done yet with my Garmin watch.  I felt pretty good. I’m gonna share my stats if you’re curious what a Garmin looks like in the stats it gives for running..

🏃‍♂️ 

The pace I got was the around the goal of 8.5 minutes/km.


Says I could’ve gone around 60% longer than what I had done though really breaking my stamina and my watch saying I could do more is a great message.  I felt great so did Toby. Our faces were a little red because of the burst of endorphins and the running.  Got a little quiet on the ride back just enjoying the moment of achieving the goal of running. For 34 minutes.






My max heart rate was 167 bpm And my VO2 max is increasing so that’s a great feeling.



  For people, wondering how much information is given on garmin for stats, garmin stats are quite incredible. It was great motivation for Toby to join me on my run. I felt like I could do it a lot more than a smaller runs by myself. Really appreciate a run with Toby and with Dixie. Great 😊 motivation 







So far the dog is leading Leaderboard in November for 27th rank.  She’s 23% above her dog breed. She’s doing good about to get some kibble and some supper. I’m waiting for Kim to get home so I can have supper with her.  




We’ve even talk about working our way up to a marathon.  Hope you happy to get more personal records


It sounds like you had an amazing run with Toby! Achieving a personal record is always a great feeling, especially when you're pushing yourself and noticing improvements in your stamina and VO2 max. It's fantastic to hear that both you and Toby enjoyed the experience and that you’re using it as motivation to potentially work up to a marathon.


Having a supportive running buddy can make a big difference, and it’s great to see how much motivation you derive from running together. Also, congratulations to Dixie for her impressive leaderboard rank! It seems like you all have a wonderful routine going.


Best of luck with your future runs and goals, and I hope you enjoy supper with Kim! Keep pushing towards those personal records! 🏃‍♂️💪

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ 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 🏃‍♂️   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 ...

Walk mid October with my Mom

By
  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 👖 from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs 🐕. 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...

Walk and a run in to the vet

By
 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….🐕 We enjoy 😊 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 😊 for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times.  A person has to be careful let alone a dog 🐕 being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera 📸  The walk was decent though some difficult 😞 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 💩 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...
