River side plus 13 Celsius mid August

 Dixie go for a swim plus 13 out of the morning around 10 am


Dixie licking her lips πŸ‘„ from chasing the ball πŸ€ 

We get down there stay a hour.  I really enjoy 😊 it here 


On the way back out of popsin park, we take a photo of Dixie laughing she had so much fun. 🀩 

She was semi good 😊 she barks in the vehicle passing any dogs πŸ• and that’s very annoying.

The coulee is still very green and lush with life, not its usual dryer look of drought we are at least this time of year it doesn’t look half as bad as other years.  We even got 25 percent of our snow pack. The river looked like a foot lower than it was last week. That can be expected, yet not the disaster it was looking at the beginning of the year looking like with snow pack low and then we got so much rain 🌧️ 


Dixie brings the ball back every time…

Here she is diving for the ball πŸ€ I toss for the shoreline.

She is a delightful dog still very young dog πŸ• in her mind.



Over all I got an ice 🧊 coffee ☕️ at Tim’s and a chocolate chip πŸͺ cookie. I did not share Dixie was well barking in my ear to go to this park and I know she can’t help herself but damn this got to get treat training in vehicle and driving is impossible.

But treat training doesn’t end.  It’s an ongoing process for πŸ• dogs.  So I don’t want to think I’m that owner that neglected my dog. But she getting treats sitting πŸͺ‘ out front to behave.  Exactly how she doesn’t behave is when dogs go by. People she is happy to see. And cats 🐈 like the cat she barking at and ignoring the treats

Dixie waiting for the last few ball tosses before we go, back to the vehicle πŸš— 


Dixie is now out front drying off in the sun ☀️ before I go mow my lawn out back

Been delaying it all week, sort of frustrated 😩 to do it. Takes an hour and a half just to mow the back yard. πŸ™„ 

Might do it with a Rucker weight

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 ...

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...

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...
