Out in a spring storm

 Out in a spring storm ⛈️ 


Made it out in good weather, finally getting some much needed moisture.  Everything looks way greener now with a good soaking.  We go this isn’t usual weather for us.  I say when we get rain it lots but when we don’t it a bit to little of rain.  So we get so get a bit of rain but usually a little to little rain most the time so I’ll take any kind of rain when we can get it.

I’m ready for it, two umbrellas ☂️ in the car and a handful of work gloves 🧤 


First lap James said no umbrella ☔️ and on the second lap I asked him again and he said his 🤚 hands would be cold 🥶. I told him I had extra pair of gloves 🧤 in the car. 🚗 

James politely uses the umbrella we trade gloves 🧤 once cause his hands were cold 🥶 and mine were warm.

I bought 30 gloves for $30 off Amazon for work and around the house, or yard work or car 🚗 tire work.  There even capable of still being able to activate a smart phone screen while wearing them.


Dixie got completely wet head to foot 🦶wet and a bit muddy at that. By the time I got home I had five minutes to dry Dixie off and go to writing ✍️ class.

Dixie loved 🥰 getting dried off and leaned right into the towel. Once after she thought she had enough drying got her stuffy and tackled the toy bring it to me only to get another round of rub down with the towel.  She stood still and got the idea quickly that I was drying her off so she would be in more of a pleasurable mood in the house also keeps it lot more cleaner.

I really enjoy 😊 going journaling with like minded people wanting to write and get better at story telling.


Dixie is only 19 % above average I got to get her in the 🔝 1/3 of her breed but I only got one more day left to do it in.

I’ve worked six days in my rotation but since my rotation is on the weekend it only worked out to be five days each week.

No over time.


We walk a good hour a bit slower of a pace with the rain 🌧️ as such I hear from many are achingly making the days go by.

Last two days we’ve reach met our goal of 140 active minutes.


 

The dog is sleeping 💤 good and active good 😊 

So she is a happy dog 🐕.

And better behaved when walked. And a pleasure to be around.



I’m sleeping good my training readiness has been poor for weeks and I finally got to high training readiness.




I got to get lifting weights 🏋️‍♀️ again. Took a break after a poor two weeks of sleep recovery and high stress for what ever the reason it was hard to get 🆙 and moving. I did manage to get Dixie’s walk in and I work led out like 2-3 times more than March. May is a new month so even if I get 20-30 weights in for 20-45 minutes on the day I think 🤔 it’ll be a good month.


It seems like your day was busy with walks, a writing class, and focusing on training readiness and setting goals. I'm glad to hear that you and Dixie are both doing well.

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...
