I ran 3 times this week, 13.55 miles.
I didn't bike this week.
I took x steps this week according to my Garmin Venu smartwatch.
My Venu gives me steps, heart rate and floors climbed (take that last data point with a grain of salt). My Withings WS-50 Smart Body Analyzer scale gives my weight (when it feels like connecting to our Wi-Fi).
WALKING/RUNNING/BIKING: I have gotten over a nagging ache in my left hip/hamstring through lots and LOTS of stretching. So ... I do walks, runs or bike rides and then stretch afterwards. A run is better than a walk or bike in my 66-year-old mind but any exercise is good in the end.

Walk/Run/Bike electronics: I use my Garmin Venu for runs and walks (backup for the bike). I listen to my Shokz OpenMove bone conduction headphones.
Trek Bike electronics: Garmin Edge 530 sensor bundle, Garmin Varia RVR315 rearview radar, Livall EVO21 smart helmet, and Redshiftsports Arclight pedals.
BTW, I am on a 1404 day steak (3 years, 10 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 4/27). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

Walk: 2.25 miles, 29:20, 13:02, 87/99 avg/max HR, 66F, 68% RH, 12 mph SW wind, cloudy
My thighs were begging for a bit of rest when I descended the steps this morning so I gave them a walk day. It was warmer so I wore ... gasp ... shorts and a short sleeve tech! I struck a brisk walking pace on my longer "Out to Beach Ave" route. I accidentally hit Bicycle on my Garmin so there was no cadence or pace/mile.

The temp was warmer but there was a chilly breeze this morning that made me hike up the pace when I ran into it. It was a run day after a "restful" walk day on Sunday. I got out on my usual "Out by the pier and around" route at my usual nice and easy (to start off) pace. It's lighter now in the morning and there were more people than usual out. My splits were 9:00, 8:57, 8:43, 8:29 and 7:51 over the last 0.45 mile.

Run: 4.65 miles (estimated), 8:45 pace (estimated),
Shoes: blue/yellow Brook Glycerin GTS20 - 276.01 miles
Well ... my mileage and pace are estimated today because I forgot to start my Venu after 1.55 miles when I stopped to transfer my key from my shorts to my Zipster. I heard the key jangling and didn't want to lose it ... like another runner did recently. Oh well ... I did the usual "Out by the pier and around" route at the usual pace and wore the usual running gear ... nothing unusual.
It's the end of April ... so it's stat time!

Run: 4.45 miles, 39:09, 8:47 pace, 77 feet total ascent, 123/139 avg/max HR, 156/167 avg/max cadence, 48F, 93% RH, 3 mph NW wind, foggy
Shoes: blue/yellow Brooks Glycerin GTS20 - 280.46 miles
My left hip ached a bit and I did briefly think about a walk this morning but ... I thought I would try a run first just to check it out. Well ... it didn't hurt so I ran my usual "Out by the pier and around" route at a slightly slower nice and easy pace. It was a bit foggy. My splits were 9:18, 8:45, 8:49, 8:38 and 8:01 over the last 0.45 mile.
