October.10 walk edge of city

 Toby and I pick up frosty ☃️ at Wendy’s.

Dixie gets a bit of the end of a cup.
We go for a walk near the outskirts of the city.

๐ŸŒ† a warm day but cool mornings.  I was saying With the condensation in the mornings, my grass has never been so evenly green all across the yard. It’s it’s a wonderful to have that could’ve a lawn that at this time of year must be the reason why I like autumn so much…. +12 during the day and cool mornings around +4


I pick Toby up for a walk, and go for a lemonade at Wendy’s.

Some leisure time on my days off


Stopping by a one if the beautiful water sheds around the city. For some much needed reason to get outside. Lethbridge has wonderful areas to walk the dog. ๐Ÿ• 


Dixie sleep is good some Interruptions lately at night for Dixie, but she’s been a good dog at night.


Her interruptions at night come and go so she’s doing good.๐Ÿ˜Š  today she got 19% above average, which is nice to see especially on my days off gets hard to get all the steps in while on shift at work so my two days off I finally get to walk her and she’s quite happy with herself☺️


Just under my daily average that I wanna do of 140 minutes her daily averages about 132 minutes daily for the last week how is she doing October leadership board?


28 spot in rank out of 50 local dogs.๐Ÿ• 

Yah hooray ๐Ÿ˜ƒ 


I’ll have to do another short walk today, but she had her active minutes for sure a different parts of the day.


Not quite her time yet but it’s early still at 10 to 4 will be getting ready a fruit smoothie for supper and Dixie will get some chicken tenders and duck ๐Ÿฆ† tenders when Kim arrives home ๐Ÿก.  Or that’s what I’m super Dixie up for.

She a bit razzled at me saying who coming home every five minutes and are you getting treat.

Dixie gives a tilt of her head and looks out the window and door. ๐Ÿšช 

She got sugar so she’s one happy dog 


At 6:20 pm she made her active minutes, second day in a row.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life๐Ÿง˜‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  ๐ŸŽ‰ 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...
