 Toby and I do a few laps 


Walking and talking, we do three laps and the dog is tried although she has been getting more sleep 💤 interruptions These past two days.  


She been rocking the active minutes, which ever way a person thinks of this her sleep is poor but she’s getting more active minutes







Dixie has 156 minutes of active time today


40% above her breed and tomorrow should be better.

Hope I can get her to the top of her bell

Curve by the time we’re done. ✅ 



Dixie on the bench with us,

And smiling and laughing 😆 with the extra time we are spending with her.




My HRV is unbalanced so I got a poor 💤 sleep, my training readiness’s is poor cause I got a bad sleep.



I got my Covid and flu vaccine booster today also. But I’m going on five km walks and feel great, might of taken my jacket 🧥 off when it was only plus 12 out but I had a sweat 😓.



Dixie is still 28 on the leaderboards. I’m getting the active minutes but so are other dogs, trying to get steps in while the weather cooperates.




Toby bought me a sandwich 🥪 today and a drink. I ate mine quick but thought of taking a quick photo of Toby’s sandwich. 🥪 it is delicious and sort of made me manage my day better.




Toby is a pleasure to walk with. I’m back at getting my five km walks in. I think I might be convince him into doing ten km.


It sounds like you and Toby are having a great time with Dixie! It's wonderful to hear that she's been active and enjoying your walks together, even if her sleep hasn't been the best lately. The extra time spent with her seems to be putting everyone in a good mood!


Getting your COVID and flu booster while still feeling energized enough to walk is impressive. Keeping up with your walking routine, even in cooler weather, shows your dedication to staying active. Hopefully, Dixie's leaderboard position improves as you both continue to encourage her to reach those active minutes!


And how sweet of Toby to treat you to a sandwich! It's great to have someone who motivates you and shares enjoyable moments during your walks. Who knows, with a bit of encouragement, you might just get him on board for those longer 10 km walks!


Keep up the great work, and I hope both you and Dixie continue to thrive together!

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...

Back in Stride: A Run Worth Celebrating

By
 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...
