Dixie is rocking the active minutes this week

 


I get walking down in popsin again on my days off. 

A quiet time, not much else to say but cheer on the steps for the hour.

We had a good 😊 time together.


Near four km in 50 minutes.  Another 13 minutes I would have been close to five km.

But I didn’t bring any water πŸ’¦ and my bibs were making me sweat πŸ˜“ in the heat.

So I was in about of going to subway after.

Jame I went. Bryan did one lap which is awesome 😎.

James and I did two, James was saying he’d do another lap but I asked him to go to subway. I was needing to eat.

I got water πŸ’§ in the Mazda and a quick sip and went to eat.

Dixie waited in the car and was guarding the vehicle. πŸš— 


One more day off and we might get above our dog breed steps which is very near to passing.

We’re 31 % above the dog breed level on my days off. It’s incredible.

Dixie is rocking the steps.


This week I’ve tracked 4 and 1/2 hours of walks. So the dog is doing good. 😊 I’m getting steps at work but these are just my dog walks active minutes.


We are doing good 😊, not doing to much but enough to feel great 😊 for the day.



We rocked to 19 on the leaderboard for April out of 50 so we’re keeping up with the other dogs in the city πŸŒ† 

Now at home, wondering πŸ’­ if I should make it to writing class or something like lift weights at home.🏑 

I’m sort of waiting to hear back from a friend to pc game today.

It’s in the decision-making in a family home time. There busy in painting or work but I miss my home city friends and a game with them would bring back some great 😊 time spent today.


It sounds like you had a nice walk and some good exercise with your dog! It's great that you're keeping track of your steps and staying active. If you're thinking about whether to attend a writing class or work out at home, it might be a good idea to consider what would make you feel happiest and most fulfilled. And it's always nice to reconnect with friends through a PC game - that can be a fun way to spend time together even when you're apart. Enjoy your day!

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...
