Walk with my Dad

 A few good moments


We get walking I think around 40-45 minutes of walking.  I got got to start my watch properly so I never caught that it wasn’t on til 15 minutes in the walk.


A good walk we made some good progress.  We pulled out the tape measures to see how big my garden 🪴 is.  See how much space there is to plant.

After we go for a walk at about 3:30 🕞 

Kids were getting out of school but the park wasn’t busy at all. Dixie had a fun time. I dryer Dixie off with a towel again. Some bonding time, Dixie is very good at lifting her feet up and letting me rub her down to get dry.  She enjoys it, helps the house being clean also.


I am running in 3 hours of sleep again, sadly this is the worst I’ve slept for months.  I think the last time it was this bad it was the night of New Year’s Eve. December 31. And I got four hours of sleep that night. With work been so busy.

Almost 10 k steps by this evening I’ll be there for steps. Not that 10 k is the goal but I’m happy when I get there.

Tonight is a go to sleep early night. Yet I tried to last night to go to sleep but just couldn’t shut my head down.


The amount of water 💦 melting is lots, it is moving for sure.  Dixie has had two walks and pending another one later this evening hopefully.

So Kim is making supper ready and for us. I’m taking the dog for a walk.  It’s going to be a good night.

This is the first time I’ve walked with my dad since late August. After his motorcycle 🏍️ accident.  We did almost an hour walk I 🤔 thinking.

Before we were walking 2-3 times a week and now we finally get walking after a whole winter stop 🛑 of recovery.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ 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 🏃‍♂️   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

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...
