An end of January walk

I got two walks in this morning.

One ☝️ with my brother and another with Bryan

Bryan and I walk far, a nice 😊 walk.

Weather is finally nice to get out there.

I buy Bryan subway to drive over and go for a 45 minute walk. A stampede brisket subway. We split a foot long.

And he came over for a sub and a walk. Baring the road conditions. I think 💭 they are alright by now there all plowed and looking dry in most spots.

Some neighbourhoods are where roads are a bit rougher.

At the 🪵 wooden bridge looking 👀 over the damn.

A couple melted icy spots that almost got my legs out from underneath me. But I managed not to fall.

Walking up along university the dog would pull so hard that who ever walked her would be pulled to the leader of the walking group.

Bryan stops to let me get a photo with the dog trying to get back in front.

Back home 🏡 the dog 🐕 is looking out front to see Bryan drive home. I’m about to get into a book 📕 for my afternoon. Maybe some chores and errand as well since I got prescription to pick up.

The dog is…

Wet so I had to dry her off with a towel and wipe her dry. She now sleeping 💤 in the recliner looking out front.

Two walks today my first walk I never tracked it until half way through but it was close to an hour walk by the time I got home. From 9 to ten.

I got near 10k steps just in my morning walk.

Going to try to do some squats as before the day finishes but I’m already pass moderate and in low training readiness.

So I might pass. Lately I’ve been doing pushups and weights to build a a bit of muscle. In case I ever did get cancer the best way to survive it is muscle 💪 mass if any cancer.

Hopefully I keep it up for the year.

It sounds like you had a productive and enjoyable morning with two nice walks! It's great to take advantage of the nice weather and get some exercise in. Taking a walk with a friend or family member is also a great way to socialize and bond. It's also good to hear that you're focused on staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Keep up the good work!

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

🎉 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...

Back in Stride: A Run Worth Celebrating

After seven weeks of setbacks and recovery, I laced up with Dixie and reclaimed my rhythm—3.64 km of steady effort, heart in the aerobic zone, and a reminder that progress starts with showing up. This afternoon, Dixie and I laced up and headed out for a run while the daylight was still holding on. It felt so good to be back out there after a bit of a break, moving at our own pace and enjoying the fresh air together. There’s something about running with Dixie that makes the effort lighter—her energy and joy keep me motivated, even when I’m easing back into the rhythm. At first, I thought about pushing myself to five kilometers, but I remembered the back pain I’ve been dealing with and decided to listen to the advice of my AI fitness coach: don’t overdo it on the first run back. That reminder helped me focus on the joy of the moment instead of chasing distance. Sometimes the smartest choice is to start slow, and today proved that pacing myself was exactly what I needed. The run en...
