Positive digits today February

 Dixie and I are in the sunroom first time that would use this room since autumn πŸ‚ I think


πŸ€” 

I do 3.5 km today for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ in 30 minutes.

πŸƒ‍♂️ it says it was plus four but it felt way warmer running and getting home, I had to open windows and open the sunroom door πŸšͺ just a beautiful 🀩 day out today 



Overall, my laps were pretty good. I got in my first lap. I got a best record for 1 K…..

That made me feel good. It was the best day for weather i’ve been able to get a run in.

Says my recovery time hasn’t been really utilized yet



My training status is productive so it’s gotten out of overreaching, which has been nice and I was maintaining this morning For a training status.


So far this winter has been good. I’ve only had a few days that I’ve been recovering and those were an anxious days because it was just so cold so I’m happy to be back in the green and being productive.


September the dog got hurt and I just couldn’t get out the door without her looking at me like she couldn’t come so not that many runs during that time or walks, but I didn’t really start running till late. October early November since I got this running plan with my watch And my training status has completely flipped around since then. 


Weather says it’s going into the negatives tonight, but it is still dripping and we can hear the water coming down from the snow melting

🫠 

The dog is sleeping right now


Although she only has 34 minutes more of active time at about 340 she’ll get those act of minutes for sure today



Dixie is 12% above her active minutes for a breed comparisons in the middle of the Bell curve for us which is good. She’s a happy dog.

Just still rank 28 for February on the leadership board


Did a base run πŸƒ‍♂️ today I feel good 😊 it got nice out today

My VO2 max dropped one though cause I got shin splints on my run πŸƒ‍♂️ and walk the last .7 km

We’re cooking salmon 🍣 tonight, with broccoli and cottage cheese.  I’ve been trying to get more protein in my diet to help with my illness And build more muscle. πŸ’ͺ 


It sounds like you had a fantastic day! It's great to hear that you were able to enjoy the sunroom again after a long winter and that the weather was so pleasant for your run. Congratulations on your best record for the 1K lap! That’s a fantastic achievement.


It's also wonderful to hear that Dixie is doing well and staying active. It's amazing how our pets can motivate us, and it's nice to see you're both getting back into a routine after the setbacks in September. It's inspiring to see your training status improving; staying productive is a great way to keep moving forward, especially after a cold winter.


Cooking salmon with broccoli and cottage cheese sounds delicious and nutritious! It's good to focus on getting more protein, especially when you're working on building muscle and recovering from your illness. 


Enjoy your evening with Dixie, and best of luck with your future runs! If you need any tips or motivation, feel ask!


My dad has been giving me great diet advice with strength training also keeping motivated he’s got a trainer and that motivation has been spilling over to me to keep it up πŸ‘ and I’ve got a great support group of friends that’s been really helpful to keep up with my training and health.  It’s been great 😊 





The dog got salmon skins, and a little bit of rice and some salmon fat I was in the bottom of the tray.
Lucky πŸ€ dog πŸ• 
Kim’s plate 🍽️ 




I have over 1,037 calories after my supper desert of banana 🍌 and orange 🍊 due to that I got 500 calories of exercise today.


Which sadly means I’ll go
To bed πŸ›Œ hungry 🀀 
But what’s a bit of hunger 1,752 calories with the right amount of protein makes a person less hungry 🀀. Happy I had the cottage cheese for a side.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  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 πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ 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 πŸ˜… 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. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
