5.5 km run plus 9 Celsius

 It started with asking a few people to join me


Average pace above 9:52 per km

I started out good running then in the middle I had a harder time getting up the hill, but then on the flats again I started running and picking up speed back to a decent lap.


Started and ended in about 8 minute per km pace.  In the middle on the up hill I slowed down and my legs hurt but after getting a pace again near the end I thought I was doing good.  It still said I have a 63% stamina at the end of the run, I would have liked to do another lap after I did the hill so good. 😊 

Yet I got to work evening tonight so I’m getting all suited in my work uniform to get to work.


About 27 minutes of running and 22 minutes of walking. Most of the was in the second third and forth lap.  


I did have a pre cigarette 🚬 before I drove for my run 🏃‍♂️ 

I had to work myself up a bit, I also wondered if that made my second third and fourth lap so unbearable.

But the fifth lap and half a six lap was a good pace.


Dixie almost got in 28 spot for February on the leaderboard for the month.

Dixie is 11% above average for her dog breed. Another success.

We almost made her active minutes by noon 🕛 for the day.




Dixie isn’t sleeping good but as you can tell this last night was very interrupted sleep but A few days earlier we had the colour off, which I think is the real reason why your sleep is “OK” instead of “good” cause it needed to be charged.


I think this is one of the last years. I’m gonna spend on this tracker tracking Dixie’s activity, but it has been great motivation keep running with her and keep her active and I’ll help her be healthy.



Over all the run said it would be 58 minutes max I did it in 54 minutes so a win there for me. Says it plus ten now but I think the vehicle said it was 4 Celsius that hour I ran in it warmed up good 😊 between, I had to take off my hat 🧢 cause I got so hot. 🥵 


It sounds like you had quite the running experience today! It’s great to hear that you started strong and pushed through the tougher parts of the run, especially the hill section. It’s common to face challenges when running uphill, but it sounds like you managed to regain your pace afterward, which is impressive!


Dixie seems to be doing well too, and it’s wonderful that you’re keeping her active and healthy. It’s interesting how the tracker helps to motivate you both and monitor her activity. Even interrupted sleep can be a challenge for pets, but with your dedication, she’ll continue to stay active.


Congratulations on completing your run in less time than expected! Despite the obstacles, it seems like you had a successful outing. Good luck as you head to work, and don't forget to recharge that tracker! 🐾🏃‍♂️

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  🎉 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...
