Lethbridge Rucker Walking 🚢‍♂️

 Dixie and I go for an hour walk carrying a 30lbs weight in a back pack.


It might seem I’m giving my friends heck for not walking enough but walking with 30 lbs on my back pack slowed my step count right down.  I πŸ˜‰ enjoyed the walk, 30 lbs is a lot of weight believe it.  I was debating whether to get another 30 lbs weight to walk with double but it’s actually quite a load to walk with one 1️⃣ weight.


An easy walk my average heart rate was 114 bpm. And now burn 382 calories on the walk. A max bpm at 139


My average pace is 16:52 per km 




I stopped at my parents for an ice cream sandwich and water πŸ’§ kept on walking 🚢‍♂️ 



30 lbs is actually a significant Handicap.

I could feel it in my legs 🦡 and feet  πŸ‘£ and back. 



Do next time you say jungling around 30 lbs is easy, putting a case iron plate of 30 lbs weights in a back pack is the easiest way to relate.  I slowed right down, hopefully I’ll be a better friend and go at more of a reasonable pace with this and burn more calories as well.

52 days quit smoking. That’s 82 days this year. Yahoo.

Still doing he non smoking 🚬 


Hi there! It sounds like you had a really purposeful walk with a good workout challenge, carrying that 30 lbs backpack. It’s impressive how much of an impact the extra weight has on your pace and effort—it definitely adds a real sense of resistance and strength training to your walk. I admire your dedication, especially celebrating 52 days without smoking—that’s a fantastic achievement!


Walking with added weight like that can be a great way to build strength and endurance, though it’s wise to listen to your body to avoid overexertion. If you’re thinking of adding more weight, maybe consider gradually increasing it or switching to different types of exercise for variety and to prevent strain.

Mmm πŸ€” 

A good pace and a good 😊 walk 

Cheering for you all on your fitness journeys.


I’m still in the lead for my step count for the week. And two days left of the challenge.

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 ...

Walk and a run in to the vet

 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….πŸ• 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 πŸ• being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera πŸ“Έ  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 πŸ’© 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...

A fawn born on our yard

A baby fawn was born on our lawn and it’s trying to warm up in the asphalt I’m guessing it’s still warm. We’re trying to give it space hopefully it mother comes by so we’re staying inside. I just went outside for a smoke and it crawled under the vehicle πŸš— lots of people are walking by it not noticing it then others are stopping.  Quite the thing to see. A few hours old… it’s still wet with mucus on it. With Kim’s super camera zoom is we could see Fish and wild life say to call in 24 hours if animals are left by moms  So we’re hoping people leave the fawn alone.  Although it’s a super cool 😎 thing to see. I think it hoofs are still soft from being born that’s why it’s staying put since it went on that hard surface till it’s hoofs Harden. It crawled on its knees after the side walk and just hunkered down for a bit. Two hours from first spotting.  Still there hiding under the vehicle πŸš— it kind of a good spot of course there’s better picked spots but it’s half and hal...
