Chasing the Last Light

 Just me, Dixie, and the last glow of the day.


Tonight’s walk‑run with Dixie had a different kind of energy to it. We headed out around the park just as the light was slipping away, that perfect in‑between moment where the sky hasn’t given up completely but the streetlights are already starting to glow. It’s a great hour for time‑lapse—enough movement, enough contrast, and just enough traffic rolling by to make the frame feel alive. I grabbed a short clip, but honestly, I think the university area would’ve been an even better backdrop with all the vehicles streaming past. Still, the timing was right, and the atmosphere had that quiet, moody feel I love.

Dixie did great out there. She had her little bursts of excitement, then settled into a steady rhythm beside me. There’s something grounding about those outings—just me, the dog, and the cold air settling in around us. Even in the dark, it felt good to move, to stretch the legs, to shake off the day.

Back home, the evening kept its cozy momentum. Kim’s off for a bit, so she made fish and rice for supper, and it hit the spot. Simple, warm, and shared—those meals always feel like a small reset. And because I’m a big guy and it takes a bit more to fill me up, I’ve got a frozen pizza in the oven now to top things off. No complaints; it’s just part of the rhythm.

All in all, a good outing, a good meal, and a good night. The kind of everyday moment that’s easy to overlook but worth remembering.



The Hidden Hunter’s Moon 


πŸŒ• 

There is a certain magic to a full moon, even when it’s playing hide-and-seek. Tonight, I was all set to capture some stunning footage of that glowing orb in the sky, but nature had other plans—a thick, rolling fog moved in and completely veiled the view.

 It’s funny how the "Lunar Effect" works; even without seeing it, you can feel that restless energy in the air. As the saying goes, things just seem to get a little bit crazier on full moons, and maybe the fog just adds to the mystery. 

Whether Kim is feeling the lunar pull or the world is just leaning into the chaos, there’s no denying that tonight feels like the start of a story that’s still being written behind the clouds.



In my confusion πŸ˜• i posted it was January 3 and it's actually January 2 today.... work to hard on the blog now to edit that so it's is what it is. Thought I was a day ahead of myself.

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...

Night run 5 Celsius πŸƒ‍♂️

  Night run πŸƒ‍♂️ after work  Dixie and I get running at 11 pm at night.  After work I do a 45 minute run πŸƒ‍♂️ doing 5 km we started at 10:12. It was 5 Celsius outside and I felt warm running πŸƒ‍♂️  I’m sweat πŸ˜“ a lot less than I did when I started I’d be in a full soaked sweat πŸ˜… the last six months I’ve improved 450 plus percent  That’s a good feeling, I’m happy πŸ˜ƒ to say.  Making a difference in my life and how I feel. Journaling, exercising, reading… Hey guys, Uh πŸ™„ I was wondering if any of you had remedies for reducing  Eh um  πŸ˜ cough… The feelings of existential dread and facing and bearing the weight of the crashing realities of life. Do you think turmeric will help?!?! I ask myself is exercise really like meditation where you get brain clarity and pay more attention to books or life. All of a sudden a gym membership looks doable this morning  a February post I go to say. Both is doable.  Life and books You don’t need a gym mem...
