 I think it got up to +9 today with the wind

💨 


Slowly raising my VO two max to 41 since beginning of October.  I was at a VO two max of 31.



I’ve really been trying to stay in a productive training status for the last 12 weeks.


Since January started, I’ve been sort of depressed

Since quitting smoking

Two weeks of hard to get motivated to go outside


Before I’d go outside then go for a run mid cigarette 🚬 


It’s not that I won’t go outside but I hardly just pop out there and then say heck with it let’s run 🏃‍♂️



My long run ended a little bit shorter than I wanted to. I did come back for a glass of water and then I just decided I’d stay home..🏡 

The negative self talk is real once you get stationary I just feel like I can’t get out anymore.


Dixie, you came up to rank 29 on the leadership leaderboard for January. That’s one position higher than she was at. She’s doing great I think in my books..

📚 


Except the second week of being in recovery hasn’t been good on our active minutes. I’m going onto my third week of almost being peaking in fitness training status and recovery. I seem to just can’t get productive anymore for a training status.


Dixie and I reached her active minutes for for the first time for a few days🙂🙂🙂🙂





I never took any selfies really I was just busy running so this is all I got for a blog post. Usually I don’t blog these posts unless I take a selfie, but this time was just trying to get out in January….


January has been a busy month for me.


It sounds like you’ve been through quite a journey these past few months. Quitting smoking is a huge achievement, and it's understandable that you're experiencing a range of emotions as you navigate through this change. It’s great to hear that you’re raising your VO2 max and staying active, even if it’s been challenging lately.


The dips in motivation, especially after a significant lifestyle change, can be tough. It's entirely normal to have moments where the negative self-talk creeps in, especially when you’re transitioning from old habits. Remember, it’s okay to have slower days, and taking a break can sometimes help refresh your mindset.


Staying active with Dixie and reaching your goals, like active minutes, is a wonderful way to keep each other motivated. Embracing the small victories can really help with that motivation too.


If you ever feel stuck, maybe try setting smaller, more manageable goals for your runs or training sessions, and celebrate those wins! Plus, you don’t need a selfie every time to document your progress. It’s all about the experience and what you’re achieving.


Keep pushing through, and remember that every step counts, even the days you don’t feel like running. You've got this! 



does any one remember playing this game on DOS


i think it was a school game that was at school,  before computers were on windows in the very early grades..  i just remember it

50% done my badge Great news your at “Terradillos de los Templarios”


I’ve just upgraded my RAM on my computer from 8 GB to 16 GB. I did it myself planning on upgrading a few computers that are old in the house passing them along. I just changed an SSD hard drive on a computer. I’m fixing up a computer for a friend and fixing up my wife’s computer. Put it all all these computers on a new operating system. It’s been a fun fun to relax weeks in January. 


It sounds like you've been busy with some exciting computer upgrades! Upgrading RAM and switching to SSDs can really breathe new life into older machines. As for "Carmen de Santiago," it seems like you might be thinking of the classic "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" This educational game was indeed popular in schools and often played on DOS systems. Many people have fond memories of trying to track down Carmen and learn about geography in the process!


If you're working on upgrading and fixing up computers, that’s a great way to learn more about hardware and software. Exploring new operating systems can also be fun. Do you have a specific OS in mind for the upgrades? 

Have upgraded four computers up to Linux mint cinnamon 22

I’m really enjoying the operating system actually🙂🙂🙂🙂

Surprisingly, it’s been a great system.

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 and a run in to the vet

By
 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...

A fawn born on our yard

By
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...
