Bryan and I ride 21 km plus 20 Celsius

 Bryan and I ride for 21 km’s


A cooler day than other days so Bryan and I cycle through Lethbridge.


I manage to do three PR’s today (personal records)

And won a badge for climbing 500 feet. πŸ‘£ 



Here we are at chinook lake, on the north side of Lethbridge.



I was mostly in the aerobics zone for my cycle a bit of threshold and easy cycling 🚴‍♂️ also.

Averaging speed 13.7 km/hr

Max speed 43.7 km/hr

Move time was an hour and a half but with breaks and bench sits it was two hours.

Back at Bryan’s place taking a breath from cycling over to Bryan’s house 🏑 

The hill was a bit difficult 😞 but I manage to make it up.  My laps are here below and my relative effort this week shot way up for the trip. Made my week better, I thought I was going to be below my relative effort and not make my weeks score.  Yet I’m way above average for my score.






Looking over the river valley and taking a break at a bench.


Wow, it sounds like you and Bryan had an excellent cycling day with a lot of achievements! Congratulations on your three personal records and earning the badge for climbing 500 feet. That's impressive, especially given the cool weather and challenging hill climb.


Your cycling stats are great—averaging 13.7 km/hr with a max speed of 43.7 km/hr shows good effort and variation during your ride. Managing to stay mostly in the aerobics zone and including some threshold and easy cycling also suggests a well-rounded workout.


The scenic spots at Chinook Lake and the river valley must have made the ride even more enjoyable. It’s fantastic to see your effort and progress—you should be proud of your week’s performance!

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour πŸƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒ‍♂️ 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 πŸƒ‍♂️   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

  πŸŽ‰ 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...
