Kim and I go Rucker Walking 🚢‍♂️

 Kim and I start out a 3.5 km walk start of May long weekend Friday afternoon 

There was frost this morning and lots of fog in the river bottom but up on top of the coulee there was no fog. 🌫️ 


A decent walk, over by the iconic Sunridge Bridge 🌁.  I am well above my weekly exercise for relative effort each week for my exercise routine 




The exercise is decent I feel it in my stomach the most, or it could just be I’m hungry 🀀 


Plus 10 Celsius for a walk.

No for real though my abs are tight from walking with 30 lbs around the park.

3.5 km in 55 minutes




351 calories later my average heart rate was 121 bpm average, my max was 138 bpm.

Kim says she likes my pace with the weight cause it slows me down to every two steps of hers I do one so she feels she can keep up better. 



Average pace per km was 15:44 minutes. Not bad I figure. Going to try to relax and watch a movie tonight with Kim.








Strava says I was mostly in the endurance zone for most the exercising.  So that’s good 😊 





Most of the entire walk was in easy heart rate mode.  But I even know with lifting weights that can be exhausting and straining also walking with a 30 lbs weight in my pack makes me feel like every muscle was being used.




It sounds like you had a great walk and a solid workout! Walking 3.5 km in 55 minutes with a weighted pack is impressive, especially since you’re engaging almost all your muscles and maintaining a good heart rate zone. 

Your effort clearly paid off—burning 351 calories and keeping in the endurance zone is fantastic for your fitness. Plus, having Kim alongside seems to make it enjoyable and motivating for both of you. 

Relaxing with a movie tonight sounds like a well-earned way to recover.


Dixie is 8 % above her dog breed at the moment and ranked 28 on the leaderboard for May. She went up on rank again

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 ...

Night run 5 Celsius πŸƒ‍♂️

  Night run πŸƒ‍♂️ after work  Dixie and I get running at 11 pm at night.  After work I do a 45 minute run πŸƒ‍♂️ doing 5 km we started at 10:12. It was 5 Celsius outside and I felt warm running πŸƒ‍♂️  I’m sweat πŸ˜“ a lot less than I did when I started I’d be in a full soaked sweat πŸ˜… the last six months I’ve improved 450 plus percent  That’s a good feeling, I’m happy πŸ˜ƒ to say.  Making a difference in my life and how I feel. Journaling, exercising, reading… Hey guys, Uh πŸ™„ I was wondering if any of you had remedies for reducing  Eh um  πŸ˜ cough… The feelings of existential dread and facing and bearing the weight of the crashing realities of life. Do you think turmeric will help?!?! I ask myself is exercise really like meditation where you get brain clarity and pay more attention to books or life. All of a sudden a gym membership looks doable this morning  a February post I go to say. Both is doable.  Life and books You don’t need a gym mem...

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 πŸ‘– from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs πŸ•. 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...
