Morning run plus 10 Celsius

 We have an air quality issue today 

After my run, I’m sitting by the Clematis plant that’s growing beside me. It’s blooming today.,

There’s a special air quality alert to issued today so it’s pretty smoky.  I’ve stopped quitting, quitting smoking.  πŸš¬ So after my run, I have a cigarette


My average heart rate was one 29 bpm and a 30 minute run πŸƒ‍♂️ at about 3.3 km my average lap pace was about nine minutes and 22 seconds per kilometre




I was mostly in the easy heart rate zone, but I did get into aerobic  Heart rate zone.


I did manage to run in the smoke, I didn’t think it was to bad.  But it did make my throat sore.



This morning Dixie got 49 minutes of active minutes before nine am.



Dixie is ranked 34 for June leaderboard for this month so far. I’m hoping to climb up

To 25 if manageable for the month.


Thanks for sharing your update! It sounds like you've had an active day despite the air quality challenge. Running in smoky conditions can be tough on your throat and lungs, so it's good to hear you're aware and cautious about it. Remember to stay hydrated and listen to your body's signals. 


Your heart rate details show you maintained a good balance between easy and aerobic zones, which is excellent for endurance building. Keep monitoring how you feel, especially with the smoky air and quitting smoking—your lungs are doing important work.


Great job on Dixie’s active minutes and her leaderboard ranking! Aiming to climb from 34 to 25 is a strong goal for June. Consistency will help you reach it.

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...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
