Nov. 4 pavan park

 


Bryan and I walked Pavan Park.

Dixie is super excited. She usually doesn’t get out this early, but Bryan agreed to get going earlier than later so we will start walking. I was surprised but yet I thought it was awesome.

😎 Bryan an early riser again and get going on a walk early made my day. Good 😊 


We sit on the bench and Dixie jumps up looking over the river.

We could hear cattle πŸ„ mooing over on top of the ridge on the coulee’s top.


In the photo you sort of see the cattle on top in the middle on the ridge.

Quite the distance for my camera to take a photo.


We know some beavers, making taking some tree 🌲 trees down in the park.


1.5 km in 20 minutes. We had a pretty good pace this morning. Brian got there a half an hour early.  I still got one and got my coffee and sausage and egg McMuffin. I had to eat before my walk. Everything comes pretty tedious. My bad attitude starts to show quite quick..


I think I’m gonna make hard boiled eggs and Bryan’s diet in the morning.

He’s a good influence and a carnivore diet.


Dixie is 26 on the leaderboard and not November she’s doing good but not her 24 rank that she was earlier at the beginning of the month when I got out for an early walk before other people got on the leaderboard.


30% above her dog breed we’re doing good for mid time of work shift rotation, which is awesome and I’m happy for.


I still got a base run. I gotta do today of 23 minutes doing 2.8 km. I’m excited but yet it’s gotta get done sooner than later..


Kim walked the dog yesterday which I’m really grateful for because Dixie got twice as my step so she usually does which is good 😊 

😊 

Then my walk with Sonny and Toby added also.  Dixie is one lucky dog πŸ•.

It sounds like you had a wonderful morning at Pavan Park with Bryan and Dixie! It's great to hear that Bryan was up for an early walk, and it's nice that Dixie enjoys exploring the park and keeping an eye on the river and cattle. Your pace of 1.5 km in 20 minutes is impressive, and it's cool that you're mindful of both your and Dixie’s needs in terms of exercise and diet.


Making hard-boiled eggs for breakfast sounds like a healthy plan, especially if it fits into Bryan's carnivore diet. It's also nice that Dixie is still performing well on the leaderboard, despite the fluctuations in her rank. Getting extra steps in with Kim's help sounds like a bonus too!


What’s your favorite part of walking in the park, and how does Dixie usually react to the sights and sounds around her? 🐢🌳


She has much better behaved on her walk than driving. She can’t drive and see a dog go by with going into a barking fit, but on our walk, she’s perfectly behaved and a pleasure to be around but the drive is tedious.😟

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour πŸƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒ‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run πŸƒ‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

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...
