 Dixie gets to go to the river bottom


James and I walk Dixie for 3.62 km almost an hour walk.  Talking politics to a point where we agreed we had to change topics again.

We did that a few times going back to politics,

What else is there to do our excuse is.



Started it a bit late in the walk but yeah about 50 minutes worth of walking.

🚶 🚶‍♂️ 🐕 

I enjoy 😊 James company, we both are doing great choices in life.  Walking decompress my day and I even did a work out 🏋️‍♀️ out today.


I’m getting good time working out.  First bit was with two 40 lbs and then 30 lbs then down to 20 lbs.  then back up to do legs with squats at 30 lbs.

I’m a bit tight. My training readiness is poor.  Hopefully not to tight tomorrow.  I might shower down to loosen up with hot and cold as long as I end on cold 🥶.


Worked lots of muscles 💪 and that’s good the dog is happy 😃.

Got  a long walk and her tracker shows it.


So that’s good we’re even climbing the local march active counter minutes on the leaderboard.


I think at the start of the day we were at 32 now at 28, so we got a few more spots lower.


Some of these dogs are way too active. We are slightly below the breed of our dog tracking but today we sure caught up. Dixie will have a full blue ring by the end of the day.


Our walk was good, 😊 my bpm is good 😊 happy with how am feeling.  I picked up a subway sub cold cut $5 six inches sub after the walk so I’m not to hungry 🤤. I might have Mr noodle later tonight. With a hard boiled egg 🥚 on the side.

I had a good day off, happy how it progressed.


It sounds like you had a great day with a nice long walk with Dixie, some engaging conversations with James, and a good workout session. It's wonderful to hear that you're taking care of yourself physically and mentally. Taking time to decompress and exercise is so important for your well-being!


It's fantastic to see your progress on the leaderboard and that Dixie got a good amount of activity in as well. Enjoy your subway sub and Mr. Noodle later on - sounds like a satisfying way to end the day after being so active!

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...
