After a blizzard walk

 After a big snow fall,




⚠️ parka warning 

This one says stay warm


This one says fashion



We go for a long walk.  Over all I think Dixie and I have done 2 hours of walking today.  But the first walk I never tracked.

Sadly

Many birds πŸ¦… on the open part of the lake at Henderson Park..  there were so many I wouldn’t be able to count them all.

This was in our second part of our walk.


At half way on Henderson park.

Dixie is super happy, she got so many treats today.  And walked far also spent time at the dog park.  Which is a nice way to run herself.

Ice in my beard.

I take a few photos of us walking from the dog park.  She had a good day today. I got Dan a hot chocolate and a pen πŸ–Š️ for his birthday πŸ₯³ even if I’m a week early.



A Parker Jotter Waterloo pen πŸ–Š️



I got excited 😊 to give it and πŸ’­ said today I should give it to him early.  Since my schedule is said to be changing some what I’m uncertain what it will be?


By the end it was good Sunday, also I will have to shovel some more, so I’ve got a busy day with family supper this evening.  I got a day full of exercise.

A good πŸ‘ day, Dixie even behaved on our drive, which is unusual.  But I’ll take a good drive when I can.


I think Dixie, is a girl needs a walk before she gets into a vehicle or she just barks cause she uncomfortable.  Mostly cause she is stuck up, dog dirt is big business for her.

It’s one behaved dog to one dog full of bs.

Today is a good day.


Looking across the lake, and the dog πŸ• park. Dixie got  lots of walks today. I got some good friends that will help me calm Dixie down for at home.  Taking her for walks with me.  Made my day.


One of the walks I tracked, the other one when we walked to the dog park I didn’t.  Just how life goes sometimes I forget to start it. The first walk was about an hour and a half the second one about 40 minutes.

My step count is near 10 k for today by 3 pm.


A walk with three friends 

A stellar day, And one sleepy dog.



These parkas are silly 😜

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...
