Pavan park at the top

 Walking with Bryan plus 1 Celsius outside 


Bryan and I walked the top of Pavan park hoping it is off leash which it wasn’t.  Dixie had to be on leash.


Walking 2 kilometres in 27 minutes we did good. 😊 On the loop back, we’re walking along power lines and every time we reached a power pole you could just hear a buzz and Hum, I was like telling Bryan that’s a lot of power going through those power linesπŸ€ͺ


Dixie is 23% above her average dog breed at 9:45 AM.  

A good dog, but she’s not the easiest to drive with when you’re passing other dogs or sometimes she mistaken runners for dogs and she starts having a fit over runners as well.


I’ve learned to just bare with it because she just wants to talk☺️ But it is sort of annoying when she starts barking in the vehicle when dogs pass.

Her sleep isn’t the best today at 81% but usually it’s the high 90s so I don’t know if that would make her lay down a little little bit better but she was very attentive today.

A good walk I had a nice coffee and I enjoyed the time with Bryan and Dixie.


Is a pleasure to get out early when I wake up at five usually on workdays and I wake up at five even without an alarm clock nowadays, and the dog just asked to be let out right away or when I get up and whines if I’m not walking her by eight, so talking to someone early is beneficial for me even on my days off Because the dog is always harassing me to get moving and take her for a walk .

It sounds like you had a lovely and eventful walk with Bryan and Dixie! It’s great that you were able to get out early and enjoy some time outdoors, especially in the fresh air despite the chilly weather. 


Walking 2 kilometers in 27 minutes is impressive, and it’s funny how Dixie reacts to runners as if they were other dogs! It sounds like she has a strong personality and a lot of energy. It can be a challenge when dogs get excited in the vehicle, but it seems like you’ve found a way to manage her enthusiasm!


It’s also interesting that you noticed her sleep was a bit lower than usual. Sometimes changes in their sleep can affect their behavior. It sounds like you have a good routine for both you and Dixie, essential for making sure she gets her exercise and you get to enjoy some fresh air. 


Starting your day early is definitely a plus, and it’s nice to hear that walking her helps you both connect and enjoy each other's company. Do you plan to take her on more walks this week?

I’ll have to do another run today, but it’s just a recovery run☺️  shorter and slower todays runs will help for tomorrows base run πŸƒ‍♂️.

This week I’m scheduled to run five days out of the week.

Rest days was only yesterday And Friday

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...
