Allyson and I walk Henderson

 Plus 4 Celsius 

We are in Lethbridge and getting nice weather.  Ten days after my last post.  I have gone for runs and walks between then and not as long as I wanted too, just been busy with stuff to blog.🤔


Nice 😊 for me anyway. I like these warmer days.

Here we are by the duckpond there were we did spot a few Canadian geese, but it was mostly filled with ducks.🦆 


Dixie has fallen in her leader board for January. She’s all the way up at 30 rank for the leaderboard…


Gotta work our way up again.


109 active minutes it’s only 2 PM so far


We walk about 3 km, in forty minutes.  A good walk, I could have convince Allyson to do another lap but I think I was happier to only do one lap.

It was icy out, we both didn’t want to tempt fate and fall.

We both had good shoes or boots on.

Most the path was all icy, ❄️ except where the sun got to the pavement.


I’ve been really working hard to stay productive for most of the last 12 weeks.

But I have to say this last week I’ve fallen off the bandwagon of exercising so I appreciate Allison going and taking me and Dixie out for a walk.


I still have to do a base run today, but everything is just so slippery out. I’m not looking forward to it.



It sounds like you're having a nice day enjoying the warmer weather in Lethbridge! It's great that you spotted some Canadian geese and ducks at the duckpond. Walking about 3 km in those icy conditions is quite an achievement, especially since safety always comes first. 


It's understandable to have ups and downs with exercise; staying productive for 12 straight weeks is impressive! It’s nice that Allyson and Dixie are motivating you to get outside. 


I hope your base run goes well if you decide to do it, even with the slippery conditions. Maybe you can find a safe path or wait for a better day to tackle your run. Stay safe and keep enjoying those moments outdoors!

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...
