May 3 walk with the guys

 Vince and I get out for a walk.

About 10.1 km by 3pm!  Hopefully another 5 km by end of day.


We go off leash for a bit ☺️, took the dog out to the field, there were two other dogs out off leash. They had the same idea we had, and we kept an eye on them.  At one point putting Dixie back in leash for 2 minutes just so she wouldn't run off.

We went to the park afterwards 🙂 and enjoyed a walk around the pond.  Looked at geese, check if we could see any goslings.  None yet. Were hoping some would have hatched by now.

We get walking distance, maybe 3.5 km today. It is a got one today.

I think I'm going to go dig up the garden. Plant some dirt foam cups. See what comes up.

It's a dry season already, the trees are budding in some spots. Even some leaves are out on some trees 🌲.

Dixie is laying down by the vent register hoping the air conditioning comes on.

Happy I got to go for such a long walk.

Out walking again


I get out and start walking again. Two long walks.  I have about 12k steps by 3 PM. About 10.1 km done today.

I'm hoping to get one more walk in by end of day.  Dixie is done, she is laying in a dark spot by the air conditioning vent.  She is tuckered out.

I get back and sit out front.  I get a glass of ice water and sit out. I guess my dad got a phone call from a older friend he did  the Spanish Camino.  So end of walk he was on the phone. Just as well, I was getting hot 🔥.  Dixie wanted to get home for water. 

Where's the goose?

  I finally said to myself that the goose is not coming back to its nest. And walked up to take a photo of the fluff that went down after it disappeared.  I couldn't see anything else like eggs but when we first notice the bird 🐦 missing we thought it did leave it's eggs.

Not a very good hiding place.  They should if fence it off with that snow ❄️ fencing so nothing got to it.  Out some city workers taking care of these mother goose...



By 3:30 and this even when it cools down I'm  hoping for a third walk.  Got my steps in now. Even my body battery 🔋 yesterday is doing better after getting so many steps in today. So I feel good about that a good boost never went to waste.


I went grocery shopping at Safeway, for first Tuesday of the month.  At about 7:30 in the morning, and filled up on gas.  A change in got high octane this time, I hear doing that once in awhile will clean it all up.  Make it better with out a knocking.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

By
  🎉 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

By
 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 🏃‍♂️

By
  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 📞 also. Hoping to take the dog 🐕 for a run 🏃‍♂️ 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 😅 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. 🏃‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
