Almost 5 km plus 5 Celsius

Dixie and I almost 😅 do five km


Dixie, I get running around going through some parks. I had to use my watch flashlight to get through. We saw some deer as we passed them.



We crossed the university, a fun time.  The lights on the road make an incredible impression after you’ve been running dark paths.

5:30 🕠 it’s pitch black out.  


My laps going good, 😊 Dixie started getting tired and stopping more and my knees started to hurt.  😞 By the time we got home, but I could smell dog cause she was sweating. I was in a full-blown sweat when I got home.

🏡 


Runtime was about 24 minutes and walk time was about 13 minutes a decent amount my max heart rate was 185 bpm,  my average heart rate was 153


Dixie has 19 more minutes to get her activity minutes to reach your goal. It’s early still 630 but it seems dark and late because it’s so dark.  We aren’t doing so well on the leaderboard for December either rank 30.  That’s for working in retail during Christmas.  🎄 Just got super busy



We’re only 2% above our breed so we’re kinda right in the middle as near being under our active goal 

Overall, pretty good I got new running tights, Or compression pants I really enjoy running in them.  They make me feel fast. 💨 🏃‍♂️ 

Kim also gifted me a pair for Christmas, which was nice of her.  There for summer, they’re gonna be a little bit more cooler for the summer than winter. 🥶 

I was asking for another pair for summer or spring and autumn 🍂 

Kim and I have been kinda opening up presents early because I bought her a jacket and I want to make sure it fit in case I had to return it.  I did return some snow pants/bibs. 👖 

Everywhere else it’s going to be a white Christmas but here it looks like it’s gonna be a brown Christmas. 🎄 

This wind is gonna blow all this white snow gone here at least


It sounds like you had quite an eventful run with Dixie! Seeing deer while running through the parks must have been a nice surprise, especially with the added challenge of navigating in the dark. It's great to hear you're using a watch flashlight to stay safe.


It's understandable that both you and Dixie got tired; running in the dark can be a bit more challenging. Your heart rate stats indicate you worked hard—great job pushing through! 


It's also nice that you got new running tights and that Kim gifted you a pair as well. It's always exciting to try new gear, especially when it makes you feel faster! 


Good luck reaching Dixie’s activity goal and improving your leaderboard standing in December. It sounds like you’re putting in the effort, even with the holiday rush. 


And I hear you about the weather! A brown Christmas can be a bit disappointing, especially when everyone else seems to be getting snow. Hopefully, the forecast surprises you! Enjoy your runs and the holidays with Kim!

Four weeks of being productive in my last two days have been peaking in my training status.



Originally, I was trying to do seven I was challenged to do 10 km today.  Although that would’ve taken double the time that I did today.


Garmin is usually a pretty accurate on when one would finish

And now I’m productive after my good run of almost 😅 5 km  I always like seeing that status rather than a plummeting to recovery ❤️‍🩹

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 ...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run 🏃‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone 📞 also. Hoping to take the dog 🐕 for a run 🏃‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating 😅 by the time I got home 🏡. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. 🏃‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...

A fawn born on our yard

A baby fawn was born on our lawn and it’s trying to warm up in the asphalt I’m guessing it’s still warm. We’re trying to give it space hopefully it mother comes by so we’re staying inside. I just went outside for a smoke and it crawled under the vehicle 🚗 lots of people are walking by it not noticing it then others are stopping.  Quite the thing to see. A few hours old… it’s still wet with mucus on it. With Kim’s super camera zoom is we could see Fish and wild life say to call in 24 hours if animals are left by moms  So we’re hoping people leave the fawn alone.  Although it’s a super cool 😎 thing to see. I think it hoofs are still soft from being born that’s why it’s staying put since it went on that hard surface till it’s hoofs Harden. It crawled on its knees after the side walk and just hunkered down for a bit. Two hours from first spotting.  Still there hiding under the vehicle 🚗 it kind of a good spot of course there’s better picked spots but it’s half and hal...
