First walk of February

 

Out walking with my dad


Enjoying a good walk it must be warm out cause I’m sweating πŸ₯΅. It’s been my first walk with my dad since autumn it feels like, of what I’ve got written down.  Miss the guy, he is a pleasure to walk with.


I’d have to go back in my blog to see the latest time  blogged it. Although I don’t blog all my walks, it gives an idea when I last blogged with him.

It’s been awhile for my father in law also.


Have to catchup to him for a walk on my next days off.


With the sun shining it felt warmer than plus 7. I got a cool drink and walked for about a hour walk.


My dad came for a walk after coaching me to clean the kitchen.  I would video chat πŸ’¬ the room and he’d point out things he’d want to see done in ten minutes and then an hour.

I must of cleaned for two hours.

It looks way less cluttered the kitchen.


He took the dog for a moment to take the photo.
Dixie and I stop in the shade to take a photo we met 2-3 dogs in the park after.  We said hello to two, the third was quick passing cause we didn’t want the dogs to play near some deer 🦌 beside the path.  No jumpiness, with deer near by.
I’m sure it would be okay but it’s a park they are ever where.




Dixie looking at me after I whistle πŸ˜—, she had a good time clean house and took the dog for a walk.  Now relaxing, a couple time through the walk Dixie stepped on broken glass, to smell the container πŸ«™, I just never was paying attention to the ground.  A beautiful day out so that made me swear at the situation.


It sounds like you had a nice walk with your dad and Dixie! It's great that you're getting some quality time outdoors. Cleaning the kitchen and walking the dog sounds like a productive day. I hope Dixie is doing okay after stepping on some broken glass. Just a reminder to always be cautious of your surroundings, especially when walking your furry friend.

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...
