-16 Celsius run 🏃‍♂️ through snow

 Dixie and I run for a bit 


Dixie run 🏃‍♂️ the first bit, then I go alone the second bit. Dixie was stopping then running and yanking to much. So I dropped her off at home.

🏡 


I almost do 5 km run 🏃‍♂️ I do 2.5 km with the dog 🐕 and then do another 2.4 by myself.😃

Dixie is rank 33 for January for the leaderboard🙂


Dixie is 14% above breed for active minutes.



My laps were a little bit slower this week,  I think it’s all the sweets and stuffing and all the food I’ve been eating.  It’s slowing down my pace.






On track to get another 14.3 km by Monday.  I should be well over that so I’m happy about that. Hopefully, I’ll gain another 10 km so if it goes snowboarding again, it doesn’t count my steps. That’ll get to my 50 km by the end of the week.

Some of my stats that are here below ⬇️ 


Runtime was near a half an hour and walking time was about 10 minutes so about 1/3 ratio of walking  to running 🏃‍♂️.

About 33% was walked and 66% was running.  I did take a break in between to drop off the dog and pick up my cell phone so I could take a selfie. 🤳 

Makes a blog a little bit more interesting that way.

It sounds like you had a productive and enjoyable run with Dixie, despite the chilly -16 Celsius weather! It's great that you were able to complete a total of nearly 5 km, with a good mix of running and walking, as well as taking a break to drop Dixie off. 

It's interesting to see how your pace has been affected by the holiday treats you've been enjoying—it's all about balance! Making sure you’re still getting out there is key, and it seems like you're on track to achieve your goals for the week, especially with your plans for snowboarding. 

Dixie ranking 33rd for January on the leaderboard is impressive, especially with her active minutes being 14% above her breed's average. 

Keep up the great work, and enjoy those runs!  Happy running! 🏃‍♂️✨

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...
