Plus 15 Celsius uplands park

 Joe and I do a walk around uplands park


We had a great time, we walked about 4.30 km in 56 minutes, a great time. Saying hello to passing walkers and talking of painters and paintings, books 📕 and literature.



Joe said we had a pretty good balance between intervened and extroverted personalities during the walk.  I thought that was a good 😊 comment and said thank you. 😊 


Our walk laps each km were about 12 minutes per km.


Joe made a Joe joke said, “what did the km say and said the km were pretty clicky.” 🤣


We enjoyed our time Dixie loved the walking.

Dixie is 24% above her active minutes for her breed.  An awesome start to my time in do for the weekend. And days off for the week to get that average way up above average.


Dixie went down in rank to 24 place for March Leaderboard all the way from 12.  But we caught many dogs on the leaderboard for March by surprise 😮 with Kim coming for a super long walk yesterday and a run. But it also was the start of the month. Dixie still isn’t sleeping 💤  in a weekly, the last seven days average is saying her sleep is just ok. ✅ 





Weather was plus 15 but no wind and in the sun ☀️ it felt strong than plus 15 out. I wore shorts today at work and it was -1 Celsius when I went to work.

It is a beautiful day out today.


I reach my step goal today and on a 12 day goal streak of reaching my steps.  Hurray.



My productivity status keeps changing dramatically since my step goals are reached in a 12 day streak 

I guess now in January I had three days peaking in training but it was really just too cold to be productive.


It sounds like you had a wonderful day out at Uplands Park with Joe and Dixie! Walking 4.30 km in 56 minutes while enjoying the company and discussing various topics must have been refreshing. It's also great to hear that Dixie is doing well with her activity level, even if she's faced a slight drop in her leaderboard ranking. 


The weather sounds lovely for a February day, especially with that kind of warmth and sunshine. It’s impressive that you've maintained a 12-day streak of reaching your step goal! That kind of consistency is commendable and can really contribute to a sense of accomplishment.


How do you plan to keep up the momentum with your walking and step goals in the week ahead?

No plans yet, a friend ask to go bike riding, but can’t really take the dog bike riding.  Hopefully people step up with a walk or run plan with me. The invite is out there if you’re looking to join.

I also think it’s during the week and I’ll have to go alone. Funny 😄 thing about working weekends and having the week off is there less people to walk or run with.


The dog trying to sniff my food 🥘, I got chicken cordon bleu and cottage cheese for supper. Is there such a thing as to much protein. I hear I can’t over eat on protein

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...
