Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run 🏃‍♂️

Image
By

 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 📞 also.


Hoping to take the dog 🐕 for a run 🏃‍♂️ 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 😅 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. 🏃‍♂️ 




It’s been raining heavily the last few days and flooding in others areas 

Dixie is low on breed comparison active minutes well not low just above by 5% but that’s low for us we try to tend to say above 20% for active breed comparisons

Yesterday Dixie heart rate was normal today on Tuesday morning there’s not enough data to compile a report.





Dixie is rank 34 for July leader board. I was hoping to raise it and  she’s been getting restless 😬 with my lack of motivation and o walk these last two weeks.


Looking at trees 🌳 sort of wondering the loss of life and how it makes runs today getting out of the lack of motivational medium I usually got to do a run 🏃‍♂️, Surreal.







32 minutes of walk time and 21 minutes of run time or a deeper break down of the analytics is seven minutes of threshold running, thirty minutes of aerobic running and 21 minutes of easy running walking. 🚶‍♀️ 


It sounds like you've had a busy and reflective morning! Glad to hear you and Dixie managed to get some movement in despite the smoky conditions and recent challenges. 


Your run of 6.05 km in about 59 minutes with a high heart rate of 172 bpm shows you pushed yourself well, especially in the smoky air—you’re doing great considering the circumstances. It’s understandable that motivation can fluctuate, especially with family losses and less frequent walks lately. Remember, every bit of activity counts, and even shorter or easier sessions can be beneficial for both your health and your mental well-being.


Your thoughts about the trees and the loss of life reveal some deep reflection—it's okay to feel a range of emotions. Nature often offers comfort and perspective during tough times. 


Regarding Dixie, maintaining active minutes above 20% is a good goal, and working toward improving her rank on the leaderboard could be a motivating target once you're feeling more up to it. Maybe setting small, achievable goals will help reignite that motivation.

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 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...

A fawn born on our yard

By
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 🚗 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 🚗 it kind of a good spot of course there’s better picked spots but it’s half and hal...
