I ran 3 times this week, 6.95 miles.
I didn't bike this week.
I took 48,271 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 1418 day steak (3 years, 10 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 5/11). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

It was a definite walk day after I felt a slight twinge in my left hamstring yesterday on my run (6th in a row ... should have stopped at 5). It felt OK but I was glad to just got out and got back without issue. My splits were 14:48 and 13:26 over the last 0.65 mile.

I got out for another walk on my "Out to Ling Rd" run. I saw another walker coming back from Greenleaf Rd who is usually a runner. He was limping and had hurt his hamstring on Saturday too. We briefly commiserated with each other before we went our separate ways. Out and back ... my splits were 15:01 and 14:34 over the last 0.65 mile.

Tonight's race was the May edition of the 6 race Run Our River 5K series. I drove into a brief shower on I-490E on the way to the race venue. It died down to just a light sprinkle by the time the race started at 6:15 PM.

I thought about a run but put on my walking shoes instead. I set up an OK walking pace on my "Out to Beach Ave" route. I decided to try a slow run on the way back ... and my left hamstring ... didn't ache! So ... that's a good thing. My splits were 13:43 and 10:03 over the last 0.65 mile.
