November. 28

 

-19 and a fog, walk in highlands park




The fog lifted mostly by the time we walked

It was a great experience getting out happy we waited til 10:30 to walk but almost 😅 a little disappointed ☹️ that we never walked in the deep part of the day with fog.



The dog would of been happy she looked cold 🥶 

I had to decline a second lap due to the dog. She wasn’t complaining as such, but I could see she was cold 🥶.

We lost 😞 our rank 22 on the leaderboard for November but still quit a good score at 24 rank for November 

Dixie is doing good, she doesn’t get as much walks or runs due to I may suit up for it, Dixie on the other hand 🤚 can not as much as I can.

She is an indoor animal and doesn’t go out much in this kind of weather environment.

Sleep and activity is good 😊 

Awesome 😎 Dixie is getting good sleep 💤, with me working nights I don’t fall asleep up midnight and then waking early I got a poor sleep. I also didn’t feel good 😊 and my HRV has been low for unbalanced for ten days now.

Poor sleep for me

Ten days of low HRV

Shorter walk but when it’s -19 out yeah 👍.

Still got to do a base run today it went from a 50 minute run down to a 37 minute run due to my poor sleep last night. Drank coffee ☕️ to late for my end of day to stay up later 

Bryan got me a English sausage muffin and a donut and hash brown that I shared with the dog 🐕 

For driving him around today, after we decided it would be okay for him to drive. I’ve been saying the roads are good 😊 


Looking 👀 into the sun ☀️ not the sun looking behind us

A nice 😊 day I have to say, I think 🤔 it would be a good 😊 day off getting some stuff done ✅ on the morning. 

It sounds like you had an interesting day, despite the cold weather and fog! It’s great that the conditions cleared up a bit for your walk in Highlands Park. There’s something magical about fog in the morning, even if you missed the deep fog experience.

It’s also nice to hear that Dixie is doing well, even if she’s spending more time indoors. Sometimes the cold can be tough on pets, and it sounds like you’re being attentive to her needs.

It’s understandable that your sleep has been affected by working nights and early mornings for Sleep can really impact your overall health and how you feel throughout the day. It might take some time to get back to your usual rhythm, especially with your HRV being low.

Despite these challenges, it seems like you made the most out of your day! A base run, enjoying breakfast with Bryan, and getting some sunshine—what a nice way to spend your time. Keep taking care of yourself and Dixie! 


7% done ✅ my Camino de Santiago 

Did another 10 km on my finishing my goal. Got another 40 more km left to do this week.

For week 48 of the year, a run 🏃‍♂️ is landed later today for sure to finished ✅ that and catch up on my weekly run.

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...
