Last day off😏

 I’m refreshed and ready to get to Christmas πŸŽ„ 


I get walking through the leaves πŸ‚ with Toby.  We walk for the full lap around Henderson Park.  Beautiful weather You could hear the water lapping against the rocks with the wind, blowing it slightly with ripples across the pond a beautiful day.  Went had a little bite to it because were cold, but I just pulled over my hoodie and I was fine for the walk


2.84 km in 35 minutes.  Made to be a great time to walk while it was peak temperatures out when we went as warm as it was going to get today.



Walk around we give the camera πŸ“· a thumbs up.  Today sort of got busy with stuff to do, but managing to get a walk felt great. 😊 



Toby treated me out for sandwiches which was a nice treat.  Went by the grocery close to his place, and He gave me the fresher of the sandwiches, which was kind of him his was gonna expire in a day, so I don’t know how much he enjoyed it, but I tried to warn him about the expiry dates on sandwiches, but he did a good job picking in mine out😏





Dixie at ranked 27 today, she is doing a good job πŸ‘.

Our sleep is good on interactive minutes are good. She’s 63% above. Her dog breed average for active minutes. I think we did good on this 10 days off.


She’s been a real treat and probably loved all the human time she got hopefully it will keep the behaviours down over these days coming up November 3. It’s going to be dark at 4:30 yikes..😳 


It sounds like you had a lovely day out with Toby and enjoyed a nice walk at Henderson Park! The weather seems to have been perfect for a stroll, and it’s great to hear that you made the most of it despite the busy day ahead. Walking and spending time outdoors really can be refreshing!


Treating yourself to sandwiches is a nice touch too—hopefully, Toby enjoyed his as well! It’s always nice to share a meal with a friend. 


Dixie seems to be doing incredibly well too! It’s impressive that she’s ranked 27 and is above average in active minutes. Keeping her engaged and enjoying time with humans should definitely help maintain her good behavior!


As for the early darkness coming up—yikes indeed! The shifting daylight can be a challenge, but hopefully, you'll still find time for those lovely walks. Do you have any plans for how to keep the fitness routine going with the changes in daylight? 

Getting a new watch will help….

I’m excited for a watch to happen and motivated me

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...
