I ran 4 times this week, 19.12 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 short walks (1.65 miles), runs (< 6.2 miles) or bike rides (< 20 miles) 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 1397 day steak (3 years, 10 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 4/20). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

It was a bit chilly and windy this morning. I thought "it's late April so shorts will be fine". Anyway ...I got out for a slightly longer run on my "Out on the pier and around" route. I was a bit cold and warmed up a bit. Then ... I turned into the west wind ... it was chilly with a capital C! I couldn't do anything about it but complain to every passerby that I saw lol! Brr!!!

I needed a bit under 5 miles to get over 100 running miles for April ... so I got out and got them on my "Out on the pier and around" route. It was 28F when Alexa woke me up at 5:20 AM ... brr!!! So it was back to my trusty CW-X tights. I set up my usual nice and easy pace. It was pretty chilly running into the wind when I ran out onto the pier ... brr!!! My splits were 9:04, 8:45, 8:54, 8:35, 8:21 and 8:00 over the last 0.55 mile.
