Plus 15 Celsius 2 km run

Kim takes Dixie for a 2 km run 🏃‍♂️

Kim takes Dixie for a run, which is impressive she ran it while it was so warm out 🥵

2 km run average heart rate 138 bpm a total of 28 minutes.

Kim had a good structure of walking and running. She also got up the six minutes in a threshold run. 🏃‍♂️ impressive she did it so long. 14 minutes in aerobic and 8 minutes in easy. She had a decent warm up to start the exercise at 30 seconds.

Kim average heart rate was one 138 bpmAnd 164 bpm for a maximum

A cougar sighting in paradise canyon this morning at nine am just about when I was doing my run 🏃‍♂️ this morning just a ridge over by the coulee.

Dixie didn’t mind…. Dixie is ranked 25 for April’s leaderboard still Just under Weasley and above Finn

So far this week we’ve gone three goals for our active minutes and today is looking like Dixie will get her active minutes by that day’s end right now we’re at 112 minutes and we got another 28 minutes to go till she reaches her active minutes

That’ll be easy enough to do.

It sounds like Kim and Dixie had quite the active day! Running 2 km in warm weather and managing to maintain an average heart rate of 138 bpm is impressive. The structured approach of combining walking and running, along with the threshold run, shows great training strategy. It's also interesting to hear about the cougar sighting; that must have added an extra thrill to the run!

With 112 minutes of active time already, it looks like Dixie is on track to meet her active minutes for the day. Just 28 more minutes to go, and it seems like they are well on their way. Also, congratulations to Dixie on ranking 25th on the leaderboard for April! It’s great to see how much fun they have together while staying active. Keep up the excellent work, Kim and Dixie! 🐾🏃‍♂️

A cougar sighting just a road over from where I was running about the same time I was running Kim stayed closer into the neighbourhood parks.🫣

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

🎉 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...
