Holiday walks


 

I get out after Christmas

After eating so much.  I know cause I keep gaining weight.  Or so far this last month it has balanced out at 233lbs.

I should make this blog my healthy way of living after letting go of restraint on my weight.


Yet a 45-minute walk down in the river bottom.  All the dogs out.  Every one of the males.  Dixie has no competitors.  All the dogs chase after her.  At first she will lead the charge yet along the road she's running away mostly getting nipped and trampled. 

We enjoy it. 

Afterwards, we stop at Tim's and I get her an old fashion donut 🍩.

No wallet of course.

By the time I'm home I have interpreted that I have lost serious time on finishing my book. 

And get home to open book yet have to write a blog post before that. 

Talking with my sweet wife, she goes why didn't you invite me.  Every walk I ask you to come and it's always no.  I was going out the door when you got up from a nap.

I thought if I asked it would be no.


Yet the socializing was huge, got to say.  It felt like we sniffed and kissed and jumped and rolled all through the river bottom.  

I noticed a but of a favouring on her right leg near the end of the walk.  Yet that seems to of not tired get as much as the walk.  


Here to here to those dogs of their runs.  Their dogs tired from the energy change.

Covid has changed our dog.  Socializing there's less stuff and their is walks in the river bottom seem as those walls of covid disappear and another world 🌎 out their with dogs.


Feel sort of bad, would of liked Kim to come, the socialist and calling the dog and when she came made the walk enjoyable.  She stayed close enough not to panic.  Tossed the ball, the folks got to throw the ball, so did i. Basically the dog got all of us tossing the ball in their goal of global domesticating humans.

The bog has here eyes closed and sleeping in the recliner on a blanket.  Her adventure an amazing adventure at to that.

I will have to see, Kim to come maybe next weekend.

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...
