I ran 6 times this week, 27.10 miles.
I didn't bike this week.
I took 54,499 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.

1215 steps, 44/93 avg/max HR, 169.1/168.3 pounds, 6 floors climbed
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.
I don't run Half Marathons anymore ... but I would still them. Yellow Jacket Racing put on the Flower City Half Marathon and 5k today ... 1197 finished the Half Marathon, results here and 672 finished the 5K, results here. BTW, I ran all 10 Flower City Half Marathons between 2010 and 2019 and ran 31 other Half Marathons. I do miss running long but I don't miss the pain afterwards.

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),

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!

I was very tired and had a solid 8.5 hours of sleep. So ... I hoped that I would have a great run, right? Well ... I mostly did. I started sluggish on my usual "Out by the pier and around" route and wondered why I was out there. Then ... I picked up the pace on Beach Ave, the Secret Sidewalk and Greenleaf Rd. Maybe seeing the sunrise over the Genesee River perked me up. My splits were 9:10, 8:36, 8:30, 8:25 and 8:05 over the last 0.55 mile.

I thought about a walk this morning since I was on a 5 day run streak. But ... I wanted a 6 day run streak so ... I ran at my usual pace on my usual "Out by the pier and around" route. Boom ... done! My splits were 9:00, 8:46, 8:35, 8:26 and 8:13 over the last 0.45 mile
