 Dixie and I start our run early.


Before the sun ☀️ comes up Dixie and I are running, 🏃‍♂️ 

Started a few minutes before six it was dawn at about 6:05 and sun doesn’t shine til 6:30ish when I went, a beautiful morning and I had a good time, originally wanted to do five km and to start at five am I’m but it was a base run so I didn’t want to go over that Garmin planning.

It’s plus nine Celsius outside when I went, I’ve sort of lose a lot of walking and running friends this summer. It’s just been me so I’ve lost completely motivation to get out. This morning I managed to wake up earlier to go do a run before the heat got to me.

3.5 km in 32 minutes.

Was aiming for five km but I couldn’t keep

My 6-7 minute pace to do the run in 34 minutes



Dixie stops lots so that wreck havoc on the pace also picking up dog dirt does too. My pace was 9-10 minutes per km.

Heart rate is in the red, due to I’m smoking again, I started smoking these last couple weeks.  A difficult decision and it gives me anxiety when I do.  But I had a smoke just before I ran.




You can see I ran and walked around my circuit for running. 🏃‍♂️ 14 minutes of running and 17 minutes of walking 🚶‍♂️ 

It was a decent run. 🏃‍♂️ mostly in aerobic training for heart rate zone. 

The dog is good her stats are not the best since it’s been dreadfully hot 🥵 out when I got to go and doesn’t cool down at night either til morning it seems. It was pitch black when I started dawn does start til ten minutes into the run but the sun doesn’t come up til 6:38 so I had to wait til near the end of my run to take photos.


Dixie is 58% below her active breed minutes , as it’s been difficult to get out. It’s borderline neglect on my part.  I got to get motivated earlier in the morning even before work to get her active  minutes up before the heat comes.


Already by seven I’m already above her usual active minutes since I’m at 51 minutes and she usually lately only get 47 minutes.

I guess the tracker was out of batteries 🪫 for awhile too, so it hasn’t been tracking either way I plugged it in yesterday and it’s started tracking again. It makes it easier to see progress when it’s charged.

I left its battery dead  ☠️ for weeks .

Idk 🤷‍♂️ just not motivated enough when I go by my self it’s just been quick river runs 🏃‍♂️ to sit by the river side.




It sounds like you had a meaningful and reflective morning run with Dixie. Despite the challenges such as motivation, heat, and some setbacks with your tracking, you managed to get out and stay active, which is a significant achievement. Your awareness of both your fitness and Dixie’s activity levels shows you're committed to maintaining a healthy routine for both of you. Remember, every small step counts, and it’s okay to have days when motivation dips. Keep focusing on those moments and progress, and try to find ways to make your runs more enjoyable or less stressful.

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...
