Morning run plus 10 Celsius

  We have an air quality issue today  After my run, I’m sitting by the Clematis plant that’s growing beside me. It’s blooming today., There’s a special air quality alert to issued today so it’s pretty smoky.  I’ve stopped quitting, quitting smoking.  🚬 So after my run, I have a cigarette My average heart rate was one 29 bpm and a 30 minute run 🏃‍♂️ at about 3.3 km my average lap pace was about nine minutes and 22 seconds per kilometre I was mostly in the easy heart rate zone, but I did get into aerobic  Heart rate zone. I did manage to run in the smoke, I didn’t think it was to bad.  But it did make my throat sore. This morning Dixie got 49 minutes of active minutes before nine am. Dixie is ranked 34 for June leaderboard for this month so far. I’m hoping to climb up To 25 if manageable for the month. Thanks for sharing your update! It sounds like you've had an active day despite the air quality challenge. Running in smoky conditions can be tough on your t...

Plus 24 still running 🏃‍♂️

  Run 6 km in an hour and two minutes Dixie and I by the university park, and through Nicholas Scheeran Park.  It was under pest spray so signs were up in the park for no dogs and no running.  🏃‍♂️ I never saw the signs til midway in the park.  Which by then I was running halfway through the park. It got up to 32 Celsius today. 29 in the house 🏡 with the AC not working it got hot late into the night, so a cool run while it was 24 Celsius outside seemed the better option definitely 💯  The run 🏃‍♂️ ended in the dark at about 10:30 🕥  I don’t let the heat in the house slow me down, although I do get a bit grumpy if I don’t eat and sit in the heat to long. A run feels great, a bit short of breath tonight but stayed mostly in aerobic and easy heart rate. How much running was done and walking in the graph above 👆 some idle time for photos. It sounds like you had an energetic and adventurous run despite the hot weather and park restrictions. Covering 6 km in...

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...

Park lake plus 14 celsius

  Bryan and I got to Park lake, he talked me into a 2 km walk instead of a 5 km walk. On the bench after the dog goes for a dip in the water. we had a great time. Bryan got me a ice coffee, sweet of him to do so.  I tried to talk to him about doing a 5 km walk along University but he did not want too.  the Scenic walk by the lake while the navy cadetes were learning to kayak on the lake. Some one was saying he was happy it was never yesterday.  due to the wind the water was breaking white waves on the lake. I find it not the largest lake but I'm sure it is man made or there might of been a spring there it is a provincial park some how it is. the trees are mature and the green foilage has been there a long time. I carried my 14 kg weight about 30 lbs. on the walk doing two km. We found out i would have been 10 lbs more than Bryan with my added weight. the other day a pharmacist said he didn't think i weighted 230 lbs. I told him muscle weight more and is less the spac...

Bryan and I ride 21 km plus 20 Celsius

  Bryan and I ride for 21 km’s A cooler day than other days so Bryan and I cycle through Lethbridge. I manage to do three PR’s today (personal records) And won a badge for climbing 500 feet. 👣  Here we are at chinook lake, on the north side of Lethbridge. I was mostly in the aerobics zone for my cycle a bit of threshold and easy cycling 🚴‍♂️ also. Averaging speed 13.7 km/hr Max speed 43.7 km/hr Move time was an hour and a half but with breaks and bench sits it was two hours. Bryan in front of the wolf 🐺 statues. Back at Bryan’s place taking a breath from cycling over to Bryan’s house 🏡  The hill was a bit difficult 😞 but I manage to make it up.  My laps are here below and my relative effort this week shot way up for the trip. Made my week better, I thought I was going to be below my relative effort and not make my weeks score.  Yet I’m way above average for my score. Looking over the river valley and taking a break at a bench. Wow, it sounds like you and Br...
