Walk after dark

 


James and I walk and pick up a hot chocolate 🍫 

I needed the sugar to keep me motivated to walk.  Or I think I would of complained to much.  A long day, with work and coming home to clean 🧽 


Out and walking we walked for 40-45 minutes.it says 26 minutes but I started it ten minutes later.


12,260 steps done so far


Says I could eat 4,167 calories today on how much I moved

I love walking, and feel good πŸ‘ when I do, it’s my kind of fun.  So far I’ve got a few good friends that keep encouraging each other to get more walks.


Usually I have to bribe myself with a ☕️ coffee or donut to get out.  I still do but I find I’m moving so much I need to eat not to be grumpy 😑. 😠.

Or for me that is.

I never ate all day from 2 am toil 5 pm. So I was hungry 🀀 and maybe took me awhile to get out of a funk after eating 🍽️.

Food can change the world 🌎 


We meet a dog name Charlie who collects the dirt I heard.  A black lab hide it well.
I still got home and dried Dixie off with a towel and paws and under coat. It’s a bonding time for Dixie and I. Shows her I care about her comfort.


Starting our walk, I started tracking our walk a bit later, I’m guessing about 40-45 minutes of walking.  

A nice end of day to get out. Here James and I start our walk into the park.

Thankful πŸ₯Ή he came by here today after a long day and a not to far for me to 🧳 travel with Dixie.


Gives me more time to write about a walk when I get home 🏑 

We had Dan and Veronika come over for steak πŸ₯© tonight. And we played Yahtzee.. I scored the lowest Kim scored the highest.

It was a good game,  and a pleasure to have friends to come over to help walk the dog and get the house cleaned before guests came over.

A busy Monday, 

I am,,

Happy πŸ˜ƒ so is Dixie.

Kim was a delight this evening talking up conversation.  I think πŸ’­ Kim  felt good also.

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...
