December. 2

 

-1 Celsius and walk at Nicholas Sheeran



Toby walking up the pathway 

The dog sniffing at every chance she could. She has been house bound for the last week due to the cold weather and only got five minute let outs depending on the day maybe a 15 minute walk.

We did good today a 50 minute walk doing 4 km



Felt great 😊 to walk today I do have a plan to run 🏃‍♂️ today for 27 minutes.

A base run 3.1 km run planned

That should carry me into the 50 km per week I need to do in my Camino de Santiago 



I’m doing great here 

Well Nig your past Pamplona and Alto del Padron and in the small village of Uterga. Not much there but a small cafe to by a coffee! Here’s some pictures

Fun 🤩 


Toby sporting his Christmas 🎄 apparel 

We take a photo at the bridge 🌉, and keep walking sort of appreciating friends walking with us. Dixie loves the company and I sort of enjoy 😊 the time to socialize and just talk lots. I feel like I get talking seizures if there is such a thing as one

So talking with Toby is Great. 😊 

New Monthly of December leader board

With good weather every Tom and Garry is out for a walk with there dog 🐕, so we are ranks 27 on the leaderboard for December 

Dixie sleep and activity is good with the cold 🥶 weather we got she still got walks short ones 
I got a large coffee ☕️ so im chit chatty today 

I’ve done six loads of laundry with blankets, sheets, pillows cases, afghans, quilts, and a bunch of clothes. Cleaned the toilets 🚽, cleaned the kitchen sink, took trash out and just been an over all get stuff done ✅ in the house while I’ve been on days off.

Laundry. It’s always there for you I’ve been told.

Just got supper planned that Toby and I decided a supper meal for our families. And bacon and eggs is mine. Toby’s going all in with tomato 🍅 slices fried and sausage and other things but there family is large. It’s just Kim and I were planning for so bacon and eggs with toast is the plan. I might go out and buy some organelle juice or ask Kim to pick some up.

Last photo of the folks Camino walk. He’s a great fellow to give some of his photos to me.

I wish I could walk it for sure, trying to make plans for some walking friends seeing if they’ll be interested in the time I do decide to go on the Camino to walk it.

I hear there is an experience of talking taxi 🚕 so my wife could come, I doubt she’d miss a trip like that🤔

Even if it’s short Its a dream maybe after Dixie a tribute to her walks long after she gone in about several years or so.

It’s nice the polar vortex broke and we get some nice weather. -1 Yahoo

It sounds like you’re having quite an active and fulfilling day! Your walk with Toby and the dog must have felt refreshing, especially after being cooped up indoors due to the cold weather. It’s great that you’re keeping up with your running plan for the Camino de Santiago; that 50 km a week goal is impressive!

I love how you’re sharing updates about your family’s adventures on the Camino and supporting each other with photos. Walking with friends and sharing those experiences can make any journey much more enjoyable. Toby’s holiday apparel must add some extra cheer to your walks, too!

It sounds like you’ve been productive at home with all the chores, and having a delicious supper planned adds to the feeling of accomplishment. Bacon and eggs sound perfect for a cozy evening in.

It’s also wonderful that you’re thinking ahead to your future Camino plans. The idea of having your wife join you in a support role is fantastic, and it’s lovely to think of it as a tribute to Dixie when the time comes. It seems like you have so much to look forward to!

Enjoy your run and the rest of your day, and I look forward to hearing your updates later! 😊🏃‍♂️

Dixie new bed from Costco 

Dixie is right by my feet 👣 she decided to warm her 🐾 paws on my feet but now has decided to lay on her bed for the first time. I think she likes it now. I did wash the outside cover for her which started the washing clothes that was desperately needed. Hopefully tomorrow I start a house vacuum and mop day.

Dog got a bath at the dog wash 🧽 
After her bath, she got dried off good but it’s plus 3 Celsius out right now. Wow 😮 

A update is pending after I do my run 🏃‍♂️ after I finish laundry and making supper.

Idk doing another 2.8 km tonight seems quite difficult 😞 it’s pitch black out with it being just after a new moon and lack of motivation at 8:33 when the sun has been down for four hours already.

Just got to tell myself the lights are going to be beautiful 🤩 tonight.

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 ...

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  🎉 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 🏃‍♂️

  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...
