Plus 9 Celsius 2.18 km run

Dixie and I get running in the wind was blowing pretty hard. I had a cigarette I know I quit, but I had a cigarette today about five of them in the morning before my run and while seconds before leaving on my run and my shin splints really hurt today.

Problems of smoking and not smoking for a day. It Was 1000 times worse today than other days.

2.2 km about in about 20 minutes. My laps were not the best I’ve ever done ✅ might of been the worst laps at 10 minutes per km pace but it really says my average was 9.34 minutes per km pace

Just before my run, hyping myself up to get going a minute after my cigarette 🚬. Man my shin splints hurt incredibly bad today.

Worth noting for sure 👍

Dixie is still a rank 29 for the leaderboard for February. She is doing great 😊 still early in the day, but she’s still only 5% above average for her dog breed to active minutes it’s only noon.

Sun is shining at +9 right now beautiful to be running out in supposedly I’m going for a bike ride with Bryan later in the afternoon so I’ll be fun

It sounds like you had a challenging run today, especially dealing with shin splints and the effects of smoking. It's great that you're still getting out there and staying active, even if your laps weren't your best. Every run is an opportunity to learn and improve!

It's impressive to hear about Dixie and her rank on the leaderboard; she must be a great running buddy! Hopefully, you can enjoy your bike ride later with Bryan. The nice weather at +9 should make it an enjoyable outing. Make sure to take care of your shin splints—maybe some stretching or ice afterward could help. Keep up the good work! 😊

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...
