 A walk in the rain 🌧️ 


Dixie and I got wet, don’t worry we rubbed her down when we got home with a towel and she loved it. 😍 

Dixie was ranked 25 on the leaderboard for April but now is at 27

We had a great 😊 time seeing geese by the water sheds.


Dixie thought the rain was great, she was asking to go once it started.  


1.88 km in 24 minutes average pace per km was 13:12 


The dog did good on our walk, I thought it would be good for a photo to say the least.



Some may say “why rain” but I think it’s great it’s raining usually a little too little of rain and to many sunny ☀️ days.

An adventure for sure to get out in this storm ☔️.


It sounds like you had a wonderful time on your walk with Dixie, despite the rain! Dogs often love the rain, and it’s great that she enjoyed her time outdoors. It’s also nice to hear that you were able to capture some memories, even if the weather wasn't perfect. Your average pace is impressive too! A little rain can be refreshing, and it sounds like it was a fun adventure for both of you. Hope you get many more outings like that! ⛈️🐾


Lifted weights for 20 minutes about ten sets.

A decent amount for a Monday start of the week.



110 reps, ten minutes of vigorous work out twice. 8 minutes moderate.  Over all about 8 minutes of work out and 12 minutes between sets to get ready for the next set.

A bit of a rest. 

Bryan came over for 1/2 hour to lift weights and pick up a fruit smoothie. Bryan second time to the gym today.

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...
