Walk in Popsin

 Going for a walk

Seems like the thing to do on Easter Break is take the dog for a walk.  The water was a bright green in places, higher than normal.  Dixie ran in but came everytime we called.
We had dog kibble but forgot the gluten free treats.  Taking in the warmth and sitting on a bench every chance we could.  We walked to the river.  There was a huge up hill part getting back to the car.
Dixie behaved with every dog and did not get trampled this year.  She would jump up and that got every dog excited for her.  Usually shed jump on bigger dogs.  Yet this time πŸ˜ƒ she behaved.



The shallow part of the river Dixie went in quite far, I had to call her back so she would go swimming.  I still think if she got in deep water she would be carried away.  Yet every call to come she would run for us.  Walking she would run ahead then stop and see if we were walking behind her.
We took a ball which she didn't seem to enthused about it.  Often to pick it up and drop it before she got back.

Ball got stopped and she ran seeing many dogs.  All sizes and adventuring off path a bit.

We even gave a couple treats or Kim did to another two little Huskey looking dogs.  
Kim calls them Pomeranians.

They were miniature huskeys.  Very soft fur, then the dogs wanted to switch owners.  Took some calling and the dogs split and the social distance begins again.  Everyone kept there distance. Besides the dogs.  They kissed, smelled and ran and downward dog πŸ•.  
Now back home we picked up pop.


Sitting on the front Kim is reading her book, I am writing.  Kim said it felt like a holiday.  Beautiful Kim πŸ’—πŸ€© started to climb washed up trees on the shore,. Dixie though it would be fun after going in the water and digging in the sand to jump on Kim's pants.  So they got dirty for the day.


Dogs job to get one dirty.

It is a warm day, happy we got on a walk during this heat.  Suppose to rain tomorrow. It will clean everything up from this winter I think.


Kim is sun bathing and I well am we took the time to log the walk. I may get now share it with a few people.

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...
