I ran 6 times this week, 25.93 miles.
I didn't bike this week.
I took 69,996 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 CelsusSound S800C 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 1488 day steak (4 years) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 7/20). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

I signed up for race #6 on the 2024 RROY series a few days ago. The race venue was the Rochester Zoo, a 13 minute drive. This was my first Jungle Jog 5K. Well ... it drew a LOT of young families. I had to park in the farthest parking lot from Zoo and walk 15 minutes to get to the start line down on the other side of Trout Pond. I used to run around the Zoo back when I lived in Seneca Manor Apartments from 2008 to 2015 so I knew the area (both road and trail).

Oh ... just a bit of political news. Joe Biden waited until after the Sunday morning news shows and then announced that he would NOT seek re-election. He announced a minute or two later that he endorsed his VP, Kamala Harris. She has revitalized the Democrats ... lots of money came into ActBLUE, volunteers signed up and enthusiasm is high. Meanwhile ... Trump and Vance were caught flat-footed and shouted foul, lol! Oh ... I will be proud to vote for Harris for President, Hochul for NY Governor and BLUE down the ballot in November!!!

I felt very bloated but I dragged myself out of bed, got dressed, set up the coffee and got out there. I set up a very sluggish pace and got my shorter "Out to Clematis St" route. I got it done. My splits were 9:32, 9:58, 9:31 and 9:31 over the last 0.15 mile.

My Garmin Venu was connected but didn't charge overnight. I made sure it was charging and waited a hour for it to charge from 2% to 88%. Then I got out for a nice run on my usual "Out by the pier and around" route. No worries. My splits were 9:12, 8:36, 8:44, 8:44 and 8:11 over the last 0.45 mile.

I needed 4.73 miles to get over 100 running miles for July so I choose a loop route that I knew was over 5 miles. I ran out to Island Cottage Rd and came back on Edgemere Drive, Beach Ave and Greenleaf Rd. Someone knew me and yelled "DeWeaver" as I turned onto Greenleaf Rd. My splits were 8:59, 8:41, 8:42, 8:35, 8:44, 8:47 and 7:56 over the last 0.26 miles.
