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 ...

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 👖 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

 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...
