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.

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...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run 🏃‍♂️

By
  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 📞 also. Hoping to take the dog 🐕 for a run 🏃‍♂️ 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 😅 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. 🏃‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
