 Another beautiful walk with the dog. plus 10 Celsius outside and its wonderful day

I am here walking with my nephew and the dog for my birthday walk.  It's my cousins birthday today and we share a birthday together.  My brother got me my pants for work and a work shirt for my birthday.  The dog is on an adventure for sure.  

I  got a principle to read more.  And write in my dog blog more often.  This morning i used my Tim's card to buy some coffee and English Homesytle sausage and biscuit  that i shared with my dog after i got home from work.  The dog was super happy with it.  Birthday weekend walks,  With my brother on Friday and walk with my nephew on Sunday, My birthday was on Sat. but I've been working all weekend  I have family dinner tonight.  I am excited for my birthday dinner with my In-laws.  Always nice to spend time with my brother In-law's family, nephews and niece.  


I sort of bought a computer for my birthday which i don't celebrate much my family does and they do a good job making my day feel like I'm loved...  I go with it,  I like my quit smoking birthday in September much more and its also my quit smoking for 2/3 of the year achievement.  I am a happy guy that i get to spend time with family.  I mostly spend my time reading reading reading and to break away and get to write about my dog and enjoy a meal with family is.


the best way.  Kim went to the movies with her Niece to watch wicked.  Should be a great time.  


Love my brothers and the adventure with life.  I keep telling my self I am living my best life.  


I was so tired on my birthday on the 22 i fell asleep at 5:30 pm and got up at 3 am that was my gift to myself was an early birthday.  Lately i have had 25 days of back pain and i think I'm am just getting out of the back pain with stretches and physio.  Happy about this,  took long enough.  Still got physio later this week,  doing my stretches helps.  so does Motrin.



have a great weekend.  I sure did with work and on my time off.

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...

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 ...
