Fort McLeod back roads motorcycle 🏍️

Motorcycle 🏍️ ride to Fort McLeod

I got visit Kim in fort McLeod and make it in about an hour and a half. Taking all the back roads cause the motorcycle really only does 80 km per hour. I could probably go faster but I don’t really want to make a Yamaha 200 to go faster

My average speed was about 50 km per hour

Fastest was 80ish

Use up 600 ish calories in an hour and a half and a 💯 ish was resting calories. So about 500 calories in an hour and a half.

Was a fun ride

Mostly in warm up

And easy heart rate zones

Now I still got to go back 🙄 such is life I guess. Would be nice if I could take the highway 🛣️

Dixie is super excited to see me, she gave me a dog tail waging welcome when I showed up.

I’ll add another update when I get back from my ride also.

As I leave Dixie goes into full yelping mode. After our walk with her she didn’t like seeing me leave.

She didn’t want me to leave. 🐶

On the way back I made better time with staying on the highway 3.

Back roads add another 1/2 hour of work.

54 km in just under an hour. I even stopped to take a break at 25 km mark for six minutes.

I used up 460 calories coming back in an hour so that’s about 1,000 calories I’ve done today in activities

NUTRITION & HYDRATION
Resting Calories	105
Active Calories	355
Total Calories Burned	460

Usually don’t nap 💤 in the middle of the day but when you burn 1000 calories motorcycling a nap was sure nice 😊

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...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run 🏃‍♂️

The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning, I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️ Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone 📞 also. Hoping to take the dog 🐕 for a run 🏃‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating 😅 by the time I got home 🏡. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. 🏃‍♂️ It’s been raining heavily the last...
