Yes but that works too, she stood about 8ft (2.3M) at the shoulders!What a beautiful place! My first guess for GBF would not have been Great Big Female moose
Senior needs help with my work outs.

I knew moose were big but that's enormous! Good work on the walking: had you been taking a break before or did you just not post?

Our yard work got behind while we were on holiday so we were spending a lot of low level work weeding, trimming etc to get the flower beds & shrubs cleaned up. That’s caught up so it’s time to get back out for some cardio and leg workouts.
Today’s walk was similar to yesterday, 2 slower km with Bella, then a little faster solo for 2km

One more morning walk at home with Bella before we head to our grandchildren to baby/dog sit for a few days while their parents are away for their 20th anniversary. They have a 15m pool so we’ll be swimming laps for a few days.
On a high note, my wife is 73 years old today. She ran 5k this morning with avg pace 6:35/km

Finished my first 1/2 hr pool swim. Definitely need to work on my consistency. I always go out too fast& have to slow the pace to catch up on my breathing. Being a diver I should know better, but diving is leg work with fins, free style swim is mostly arms. Edited (spelling) I do cheat wearing a mask & snorkel making breathing easier.

That's a brilliant idea and I need to try it!

Being a diver, I am more focused on the cardiovascular benefits of swimming laps, rather than developing great swimming technique. A mask & traditional snorkel allow you to breathe comfortably & not have to focus on rolling & timing your breaths. Stay away from full face mask/snorkel combos. They have too large dead air space and lead to CO2 buildup & blackouts.

Got home Saturday & I could see the lawn needed mowing, but it was late afternoon and temp 32C. Heavy dew in morning so I didn’t get to start the lawn until 10:00am The temp was already 30C. I took a couple of water breaks doing the hand mowing. The high temperature showed in my calorie burn . 11/min.

A much better morning for walking. 17C and slightly overcast. Bella & I went out for our 2k walk around the neighbourhood, then I went another 2k(solo). Broke the 10 minute pace, & checked my VO2 max It’s looked to be on a steady incline, although slowly. Looking at stats I should be above avg at 28.0 (for 70 year old male)
