I ran four times for 4.22 miles this week.
I biked 5 times for 53.25 miles this week.
I took 27.105 steps this week according to my Garmin Vivoactive HR (VA-HR) smartwatch.
My VA-HR gives me steps, heart rate, hours slept and floors climbed (take those last 2 data points with a grain of salt).
My Withings WS-50 Smart Body Analyzer scale gives my weight.

I got out in the late morning for a "Out and about" bike. I headed to Ontario Beach Park first because I haven't been there for a while. Well .. it was still early so there weren't that many people yet. But those that were there ... weren't wearing masks or social distancing that I could see. You can just imagine me shaking my head. The rest of the ride was same old, same old.

run: 1.05 miles, 9:51, 9:22 pace, 16 feet elevation gain, 129 avg HR, 68F, 91% RH, 4 mph NE wind, partly cloudy
I got out for something that I haven't done since 6/12 ... a run. I was a bit afraid ... but I wanted to do something that I hadn't done all month ... an "in the book" run. I made sure that I stuck to a really slow run the whole way and that I just kept it to a mile. I wanted to go farther but I kept it to a mile. My knees ached but there was no pain.
It's the end of June ... so it's stat time ... for what is worth.
I walked 11 times for 21.4 miles, 1.95 miles/walk.
I walked the Big Run 5K with Christine on 6/7 at a leisurely 25:55 pace.
I ran once this month for 1.05 miles.
I biked 13 times this month for 177.19 miles, 13.62 miles/ride.
The plus side is that I got outside for some type of exercise on 25 days out of 30 days in June.
I took 112,983 steps during the month and 1,278,045 steps so far in 2020.

I got out for an early ride before my work-from-home day at Ricoh. Just your average easy ride on my usual "Out to East Manitou Rd" route.

I got out for another mile run at a faster pace since I knew that my knees wouldn't fall apart if I ran. OK ... I guess I am going to slowly increase my distance ... and see what happens.

I water our mini garden every morning. The petunias and marigolds are living their best lives! I may have a bit of a green thumb or it's beginners luck.

POLITICS ---- Well ... it's July 4th ... so Happy July 4th. 45 gave his usual patriotic speech last night at Mount Rushmore ... not. It was his usual divisive speech about the "other". How I am looking forward to voting again him and his ilk on November 3rd.
Well ... anyway ... what better way to celebrate than to run my first run-bike-run of 2020. I kept it nice and easy.
I did a mile for the run legs and a 11.12 mile leg for the bike leg. Nothing too strenuous and my knees felt good afterwards. So ... win, win, win!
I went through Ontario Beach Park on my bike leg. Social distancing was observed except for a corn hole tournament that cut off the boardwalk at one point. I couldn't go through on my bike so I backtracked and went around. I just shook my head. It was early so there was only maybe 100 people in the park. I am sure that it was much more crowded later in the day. I don't know what it is about bars and beaches ... they seem to attract people that in the age of COVID-19 is not a good thing to do.
