Dixie - trixie going for a long Valentine’s Day walk

 


Dixie and I walk with Bryan and have tea ๐Ÿต only to walk him home again.

 On our way home we met two little dogs name stellar and Luna, I guess they don’t have a solar sun ☀️ dog but she did say Dixie was well behaved when they met and did her tale wag to greet.  There were two female dog ๐Ÿถ and Dixie is a female so three females wagging tales and they were happy ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Beside the stellar dog who was four months old was a bit happy. And barking to greet, Luna was about eight years old and much more quietly behaved.  But stellar got some pats.

Dixie did her downward dog and acted like a pup but she is four years in march.


We have tea in the kettle got me for Christmas ๐ŸŽ„ 

Bryan and I had Mango ๐Ÿฅญ and  ๐Ÿ‘ peach ๐Ÿต tea.

Kim gave Bryan some pork cutlets to fry up for supper tonight when we came home for lunch ๐Ÿฅช sandwiches.

It was my turn to buy the sandwich today.

I got the bigger half, even if I offered it to Bryan he passed it for me.

Dixie is supper excited after our walk making many barks, I dry off her paws and her under coat ๐Ÿ• with a towel.

She loved that, I think it even added to the excitement of coming home and the walk adventure.

A quick bonding time for Dixie and I.

Like I take off my shoes she needs to dry off her coat ๐Ÿ•.



Bryan wanted to sit on some benches

So I removed the snow ❄️ with my ๐Ÿ–️ hand.

Dixie loved smelling all of the out doors ๐Ÿšช.

I enjoyed the walk and endorphins on our walk.

The he sun is shining and Dixie was better behaved than driving Bryan home.  So that’s always a plus.




A few scenery pictures of our walk, most likely I was telling Bryan the last time will walk this route since he’s moving.

So I said we would do an extra long walk today or I would I walked him mostly home so I still had 30 minutes of walking when I called him to see if he was home yet.



Dixie and I walked an hour and twenty six minutes and over six KM

I reached over ten thousand steps in our walk today.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour ๐Ÿƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  ๐Ÿ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 ๐Ÿ˜Œ We made good time.  For a hill run ๐Ÿ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 ๐Ÿ˜Š 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 Life๐Ÿง˜‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  ๐ŸŽ‰ 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...
