North side walk -7 Celsius



Bryan and I at about 1 km in our 2.24 km walk

Brian was concerned about the ice 🧊,fair enough we watched for it, but we managed to walk for about 30 minutes exactly.☺️


30 minute walk

I’m happy for the dog is happy for a walk too.😉 Dixie’s week wellness scores really good. Happy to see that. Total time on the move was almost 1000 minutes for the week.


Did you know people with dogs walk 22 minutes more on average?

Yes, 22 more minutes is the time you walk the dog and people who don’t walk the dog don’t walk. It’s a doggy dog world.




The sky is sure interesting in this photo

Bryan and I give the thumbs up 👍 for reaching about 1 km so far on our walk😌


Dixie sleeps 21 hours pretty much every day for the week talk about a dog life with 65 nightly wake ups that I don’t know how healthy I’d be after 65 wake ups

38% above the dog breed proactive minutes

We’re doing good Dixie and I were walking pretty good with the help of some good friends.


With our persistence, we roll back up to rank 25 for the leaderboard in November talking about walking in some storms

It you and Bryan had a productive and enjoyable walk with Dixie despite the chilly weather! Walking in temperatures like -7 degrees Celsius can definitely be a challenge, but it’s great to hear that you managed to watch for ice and complete your route safely.

It’s impressive that you’ve accumulated almost 1000 minutes of activity for the week! And I love that you’ve noted how much more people with dogs tend to walk—it’s true that our furry friends encourage us to stay active.

Dixie’s well-being scores seem to be great, and her long naps suggest she’s quite the relaxed pup! With all those nightly wake-ups, you definitely have your hands full, but it sounds like you’re both doing a fantastic job on your walking journey. Ranking 25th on the leaderboard is a commendable achievement, especially considering the storms!

Keep up the good work, and enjoy your time walking with Dixie and spending time with friends! 🐕 🐾😊


A run at night, makes the day better 

In the evening I make a run for myself, do it in another 1/2 hour and do 3.74 km



Todays activity is a good 😊 day

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ 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 🏃‍♂️   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

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...
