I walked twice on the treadmill, 2.10 miles.
I ran twice this week, 5.25 miles.
I didn't bike this week.
I took 30,799 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 67-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 1621 day steak (4 years, 5 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 11/30). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

I felt like crap all day with nasal congestion and a dry cough ... just like Christine ... hmm. I set up a lazy pace but had to push the pace a bit when I found that the wind was a bit chillier than I expected. Brr! The streak lives.
Well ... the 49ers and the Bills played a snow game in Buffalo on Sunday night. The Bills won 35-10. Josh was Josh ...superman. He finished the game being the first QB to pass for a TD, rush for a TD and receive a TD.

I called in sick to Ricoh today and took my drugs every 4 hours or so ... crud. I got out to the Greenlead Meadows exercise center for a mile on the treadmill. I saw a woman there who told me that she was just getting over what I and Christine have ... nasal confestion and a dry cough ... after 2 weeks or going on 2 weeks ... crap! Well ... my streak lives another day.

I slept like crap during the night. I went downstairs to sleep on the couch so I wouldn't disturb my equally as sick (or sicker) wife, Christine. I really didn't get into a good sleep until 4 AM and then slept until 10:30 AM. The joys of being sick ... coughing and more coughing. I called in sick to Ricoh again. I got out for a treadmill mile after supper. Joy.

I slept better last night and worked 3/4 of a day with Ricoh (and thus L3Harris). I decided to amp it up a bit and run a really easy 2 miles on the treadmill. It really is true that time passes really slow on a treadmill. My splits were 11:29 and 12:02.

It was cold and blustery during the afternoon so I sort of knew that I wouldn't be able to get out again after work. So ... I just walked a mile inside the L3Harris B601. Boom ... done!

I was fighting the good fight and trying to get better but it was kind of tough. I took the necessary Daytime and Nitetime drugs. Yes, I can function but I still feel like crap. I forced myself to walk around B601 ... whoppee.

I slept OK during the night. I felt like crap but I felt a bit better in the afternoon. So I got dressed and got for a ill-advised run. I struck up a slow pace. I even coughed during my run for heaven's sakes!!! I coughed after I got done for another hour. My splits were 9:28, 9:31, 9:23 and 8:53 over the last 0.15 mile. But ... I got out for a run after a week of coughing and feeling like crap.
