Almost 5 km plus 5 Celsius

Dixie and I almost πŸ˜… 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 πŸ•  it’s pitch black out.  


My laps going good, 😊 Dixie started getting tired and stopping more and my knees started to hurt.  πŸ˜ž 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.  πŸŽ„ 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. πŸ’¨ πŸƒ‍♂️ 

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. πŸ₯Ά 

I was asking for another pair for summer or spring and autumn πŸ‚ 

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. πŸ‘– 

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

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 πŸ˜… 5 km  I always like seeing that status rather than a plummeting to recovery ❤️‍🩹

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...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  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 πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ 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 πŸ˜… 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. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
