Plus 8 Celsius run 5 km

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


Felt dizzy 😡‍πŸ’« 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 πŸƒ‍♂️ on my rest day.


Dixie is supper excited πŸ˜† 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. πŸƒ‍♂️ 


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. πŸƒ‍♂️ 

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! πŸƒ‍♂️🐾




My heart beat per minute is a little all over I think but manageable so AI πŸ€– 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 πŸƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒ‍♂️ 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 πŸƒ‍♂️   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 ...

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...
