Walk in a warm afternoon

 Dixie and I asked Kim to go


Later just deciding to go ourself, might Coax Kim in going later.  Hopefully we get to again while this weather is super.

I need to go for three half and hour walks I decided. The weather is very supportive for that.  I think today is with out much of the wind.  As we went for a 20 minute walk.  Kim finally got back up after I got the mail.  

I changed my appearance by shaving and only leaving a mustache ☺️.  Kim says I look quite a bit older with it πŸ™‚.


With no wind πŸƒ I have less of a headache. Nice change from a last few days of 100km winds.

Hopefully we go to the river bottom to walk with the three of us.

And we get to a river bottom the both of Us.


Kim and walk together πŸ’ž for one lap around the river bottom, posing in a few favourite yearly photo spots.

Dixie stayed on leash by the river, but later walking to the road went leash free, when she found a friend name Nova.


Running forward and back to us.

It is nice somebody wanted to walk with us πŸ™‚ with our dog πŸ•πŸ© for a bit til we got to the road.  Only six months old they walked but to the river and we kept an eye on Dixie. Calling her with treats. She came each time. Being a water dog she doesn't listen when water is around.  She'll gun it for it no-matter what order called by owners.

The river still completely frozen over from mountain πŸ—»πŸ”️ water πŸ’¦.  I think it's the most dangerous all year the owner of Nova said(a six month old pup) with warm weather we've been having. Kim and I concurred as we we doubled back to the road leash free.

It's nice when people join up to walk with Dixie, "she loved it, both around the same puppy age," Kim commented.

Later the last bit she went back on leash πŸ™„ near the end of walk and we skipped the mud puddle walk-in back to the car πŸš—.


An enjoyable day, not much wind.  Sun us shining.  I wore a t-shirt and a wind breaker and was sweating.

Thankful the dog is napping now.

A fun run around for the dog. Not to busy.



Happy February.☺️πŸƒπŸ’ž

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...
