6 A.M. Dog Walking and Evening walk.

 An hour walk this morning 🀠


I get up start walking around the pond πŸ˜„ with Dixie, only saw about 3 people jogging πŸ‘Ÿ or walking this morning.

A brisk walk. My hands were cold due to I was on the phone but I took a few good photos.

I was home at about 7:30-7:45 about.

My stepper only got to 5k of steps.  Which I find if your tall your strides are bigger and you get less steps but travel farther which in thermodynamics is still more energy used.


Dixie went sleeping after I got up at five.  And I mande my self some green tea. I've been coffee ☕ free for about 4 weeks.

After my tea I go to the bedroom door. Which Dixie has taken my spot on the bed.

I say in a whisper, "Dixie; you want to go for a walk".

Her head perks up and gives me a tilt of her head and jumps to the front door.

So I feel good in the morning enough to get up and go for a walk before sunrise.  It start to come up mid first lap around the pond.

Ive been told to "watch" my spending. Last night I say my head's been spinning on how many watches I could get for quiting smoking.

Which I then said there could be worst things.

I sort of researching it for the last 29 days.


Yet a refurbished watch would most likely be just as good.

End of day we go for a one and a half hour walk.


Dixie when she got home 

Got a clean water πŸ’¦ dish and fresh water. She did laps around the 🏠 house.  We walked all the way to Smitty's and back.

I felt great, even was not to hot. When we started it got warm but on the way back I was happy for the fleece jacket and insulated hat.  Even if I was sweating at the end. I feel good.

The steps are well worth it.


Dixie slowed down at the end then got a boost of energy when I started naming buildings way far ahead and as we were getting closer. She even went off leash for a bit, which I think is important for her to get.

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...
