Snowing Trip

Kim and I get away for an appointment/anniversary get away


A tense trip there and home 🏘️

We get going on our trip on Sunday which we got in Calgary away from rush hour and we're leaving before rush hour.  So it made a nice travel.

Most the time a person would go into the ditch would be someone cutting you off then jamming on there breaks. Those times would be when you'd swerve into the ditch.

So less cars the better.

We get staying in a Ramada Hotel only two storeys but there was a huge homeless population coming and going.  We thought there was prostitution happening.  

The hotel put us in the second floor so we wouldnt see it out our door.


But the doors never even locked.  We changed rooms once due to we couldn't see our car.

The heat in the hotel was on full blast and no way to turn it off. So we opened the door periodically on the second floor to let cold air in throughout the night.

And the room wasn't the best.

We were only five minutes away from Foothills hospital.  And it was the cheapest place we could go that was close by.

We stopped in at McDonald's right after Banff trail on 16th.  There was homeless sleeping in the McDonald's with blankets.  Ones got to wonder what the province is doing with with population.  Or what's going on that there not using supports.

We didn't want to go out when we got to our hotel 🏨. 

We order in skip the dishes and doordash. My KFC wasn't the best. Kim enjoyed her meal but no utensils.

Other than that the hospital got us in an hour earlier cause there wasn't much waiting.

And we were back on our way home 🏑 by noon.

Roads were well tense after you got out after Calgary to slow going from Calgary to Nanton.

Then at least the ice stopped but visibility was pretty hard after.  Wind was blowing.


Our whole family wishes us a happy anniversary ❤️❤️πŸ₯³πŸ₯°.


So that made it special, thanks again for all the well wishes.

The traveling was tense and the day rushed but we made it and now trying to eat and shovel before the day is done.


An adventure for sure this snow storm on 2022.




.

I think the roads in Lethbridge are worst than the highway. 

My opinion but visibility is very poor right now on the highway with blowing snow over the highway so when the semis pass when you're driving by them that's when the white out occurs.

The whole reason for the trip and dangerous conditions to be driving is.

Theirs no doctors in Lethbridge for what we need. So a special trip has to happen.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour πŸƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒ‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run πŸƒ‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

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...

Night run 5 Celsius πŸƒ‍♂️

  Night run πŸƒ‍♂️ after work  Dixie and I get running at 11 pm at night.  After work I do a 45 minute run πŸƒ‍♂️ doing 5 km we started at 10:12. It was 5 Celsius outside and I felt warm running πŸƒ‍♂️  I’m sweat πŸ˜“ a lot less than I did when I started I’d be in a full soaked sweat πŸ˜… the last six months I’ve improved 450 plus percent  That’s a good feeling, I’m happy πŸ˜ƒ to say.  Making a difference in my life and how I feel. Journaling, exercising, reading… Hey guys, Uh πŸ™„ I was wondering if any of you had remedies for reducing  Eh um  πŸ˜ cough… The feelings of existential dread and facing and bearing the weight of the crashing realities of life. Do you think turmeric will help?!?! I ask myself is exercise really like meditation where you get brain clarity and pay more attention to books or life. All of a sudden a gym membership looks doable this morning  a February post I go to say. Both is doable.  Life and books You don’t need a gym mem...
