Lots of attention for Dixie

Image
By

I did manage to take two photos on my run 🏃‍♂️ 


I was a bit warm on my run 🏃‍♂️ with Dixie.  Should have never done it with a vest got to be in the double digits in positives today I think plus 22 Celsius the vehicle said.

Kim and I ate at Opa today since we were busy with stuff.  I managed to put all the dishes away in the dishwasher to get the dishwasher on and clean up the sink of dishes.

Kim bought my Opa. 😊 she did say she’d walk the dog tonight other than Dixie was begging to go for twenty minutes and I just took her. 

 she did the other day walking 2.37 km in 34 minutes.

I don’t think Kim’s feeling the best tonight.  Hence us eating out instead of cooking cause we’re drained after the day. For body battery 🪫 




One walk at 1.5 km in 21 minutes one run twice as long at 3 km in 30 minutes and two session of weights for a total of hour and ten minutes today



Bryan did lift weights with me for the first session, of 38 minutes. I gave him a protein drink and we drank our coffee with protein drink sort of double fisting before lifting weights. 🏋️‍♀️ I then managed to go for a run in the afternoon.  Must of been the hottest time of day for a run 🏃‍♂️ 

Bryan and I tossed the stuffy to Dixie with the ball 🎾.

My muscles are tight this evening, showered cleaned up for tomorrow work schedule.


Dixie got lots of attention today at 184 minutes of activity today.😎



Dixie is 50% above average of similar dogs 🐕 in her breed.  She is rocking the active minutes with ball tossing and walks.  I picked another bag of dog dirt up. 

Still got lots left to do.


Dixie is ranked 29 on the leaderboard for April 

Just above Finn and below Wesley.

Sound quick stats how I’m working in this 

All of April is beating March but… my walking and running has slowed down as I do more weights at home. 🏡 




Weights have went way up in April compared to March. This week relative effort is above my weekly range but I did take two week before being in my weekly range below my weekly average.  If that at all makes sense….

 So I did take to weeks in recovery after my heart event and HRV went low for a week.






It sounds like you had a very active day with Dixie! Great job balancing your walking, running, and weight training. It's impressive to hear that Dixie is really racking up the active minutes and even ranking well on the leaderboard for April. 


It's understandable that you may have slowed down on running and walking as you focus on strength training, especially after taking time for recovery. It's important to listen to your body and prioritize recovery, especially following a heart event. Keeping track of your heart rate variability (HRV) is a smart move to ensure you're not overdoing it. 

 Keep up the great work with both your fitness and Dixie’s activity! 🐕💪

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

By
  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

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...
