I ran once this week, 3.15 miles.
I might not be running at full speed for a while due a left IT band injury.
I took 28,490 steps this week according to my Garmin Vivoactive HR (VA-HR) smartwatch.

3254 steps, 49/109 resting/peak HR, 6.42 hr sleep, 173.6 lbs, 2 floors climbed
Walk: 1.0 mile, 18:36 pace, 67 avg HR, 91F, not as humid, 16 mph WSW wind, mostly cloudy.
I took this walk mainly to not argue while I was starving as Christine slowly got ready to go out. I also wanted to see if I could as fast as I used to ... that would be a no. My left IT band started to bark after 1/4 mile. I had to slow down and look where I put my feet so I wouldn't do anything stupid.
Christine and I got up and out to eat somewhere ... but where? I decided on the Pelican's Nest at 566 N River St. It was hot and humid but not as stifling as yesterday. We got seated at a table in the shade on the desk where we people (and waitress) and boat watched. There were a lot of boats going up and down the Genesee River. I had a crab cake sandwich and Christine had the roast beef sandwich. Mmm! A bit pricey but enjoyable not the less.

Well ... day 1 of 3 of a Ricoh floating holiday. I spent most of the day sorting my extensive DVD collection that I have "acquired" when I copy DVD movies. You see I have an old XP laptop that I only use to copy DVDs. It has a few programs named RipIt4Me, DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter. I basically rent Redbox DVDs and get NetFlix DVDs in the mail, copy them and send them back. The copy process works about 99% of the time. Anyway ... most of those DVDs were in 5 50 DVD pancake bins. I sorted them alphabetically and put them in 3 ring binders using 3 25-Pack 8 Disc CD DVD Poly Sleeves 3 Ring Binder Pages - 200 Disc Capacity that I bought off of eBay.

Well ... day 2 of 3 of a Ricoh floating holiday. Just relaxed ... I remember watching a DVD entitled "The Meg" about a huge shark.

Hmm ... day 3 of 3 of a Ricoh floating holiday (last day ... boo!). I did 3 loads of laundry before I took Christine to her nail appointment at Polish Me Up, Yelp review here. Then we went to an early dinner at Texas Roadhouse across the street. We both had the Country Fried Sirloin Dinner with 2 sides (sweet potato and caesar salad for me while Christine had mashed potato and side salad).
I watched a DVD entitled "Peppermint". Jennifer Garner goes all John Wick on the drug dealers who killed her husband and daughter!
One good thing of vacation ... my left IT band stopped bothering me. I could go up and down steps normally. Did I do my exercises? The answer would be no ... I had good intentions but absolutely no follow through.

Well ... back to the Ricoh "taking care of the L3Harris printers" grind.

5401 steps, 50/142 resting/peak HR, 7.27 hr sleep, 172.6 lbs, 4 floors climbed
Run: 3.15 miles, 28:29, 9:02 pace, 133 avg HR, 157 avg cadence, 66F, 7 mph SW wind, sunny
I decided that 2 weeks without running was quite enough so I got up and out. I decided on just a nice and easy out and back 5K. I felt OK afterward so ... mission accomplished. My splits were: 9:07, 9:00, 9:01 and 8:43 over the last 0.15 mile.
Christine and I fell into a Hallmark Channel "Good Witch" Movie marathon for several hours. An excellent wiki of the Good Witch movies (all 11) and 5 seasons is here.
