Plus 8 Celsius run 5 km

 I’m running again this 5 km kept my head buzzing the entire time.


Felt dizzy 😵‍💫 the entire time, all those years of smoking and my lungs 🫁 were like yeah let’s move through all this chemical and work again.  


Five km in 47 minutes I still want to be at 37 minutes for five km but I should be happy with this result. I don’t feel so tired 😴 and this was supposed to be a rest day for me.  But since I missed a few runs in the week I decided to run 🏃‍♂️ on my rest day.


Dixie is supper excited 😆 to be home after our run, was was doing laps around the house 🏡 when we got home 🏡 full of enjoyment from our run.  She is eating now she didn’t want to eat til we ran. Was getting noticeable depressed see we never went out right after work.


Run time and walk time was evenly split between.  My heart rate jump up to 182 bpm and I was in a head rush most the run. 🏃‍♂️ 


My pace was all around 9 minutes per km, I never went all in on my run just tried to make it enjoyable.



Hit my maximum for 32 seconds, over the threshold but I also stayed in aerobic mostly.





I have to say the sky felt magically different with my head rush, it was like a 47 minute run. 🏃‍♂️ 

And plus 9 Celsius was with some wind kept the heat down but also gave the head a cold plunge.


Dixie is only 9 % above her dog breed active minutes.  I only got one day off for now, so hoping I go again tomorrow to start the week in a the race.


Dixie and I at the last km some were in the last km.

It sounds like you had quite the experience during your 5 km run! It’s great to hear you’re pushing yourself and trying to improve your time. Running can be tough, especially when your body is still adjusting from past habits. That dizziness can be quite disorienting, but it’s awesome that you’re managing to keep going!

It's good to know that Dixie enjoyed the run as well and that she’s staying active! She must have felt thrilled to finally get out after missing some time. It’s nice that you both were able to share that experience together.

Your pace of around 9 minutes per kilometer shows you’re making steady progress, and it's important that you focus on enjoyment over speed for now. Running at a comfortable pace while also pushing slightly can help your endurance. 

Getting out there again tomorrow sounds like a plan, especially since you’re aiming for a 37-minute 5 km in the future! With dedication and effort, you’ll reach that goal. Just make sure to listen to your body and allow yourself proper recovery too. 

Good luck on your next run, and enjoy your time with Dixie! 🏃‍♂️🐾




My heart beat per minute is a little all over I think but manageable so AI 🤖 was saying my pace near 4 seconds was my best but average was 9 ‘minutes per km.

Awesome 😎 evening.

Near the end of the week I decided to go well above my weekly average range. But I managed to get back into productive training status rather being in recovery ❤️‍🩹 for today. That’s positive update.

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...
