Sunday, 7/26/2020 to Saturday, 8/1/2020

This blog post is saved as I write it to avoid the Blogger "Auto Save" feature. I have found (as have others) that if you accidentally delete your entire blog post before you publish it that "Auto Save" will kick in within seconds to take you to a blank page. I have done this more than once! This feature is turned off once you publish the blog post. Then if you accidentally delete your entire post it is not final until you click Update (so you have a chance to realize that you are about to do something stupid).

I walked 0 times for 0 miles this week (at least according to Garmin).
I ran 3 times for 11.35 miles this week.
I biked 4 times for 51.51 miles this week.
I took 34,368 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 now have to enter this into Garmin manually ever since the "Great Garmin Outage of 2020" ... :-(.

1031 steps, 46/100 resting/peak HR, 9:18 hr sleep, 173.5 lbs, 4 floors climbed
bike: 12.92 miles, 1:07:07, 11.6 avg mph, 17.0 max mph, 69 feet elevation gain, 96 avg HR, 108 max HR, 75F, 55% RH, 5 mph W wind gusting to 13 mph, mostly sunny
I got out for a bike ride. My knees weren't up to for a run. It was a breezy day and it seemed that there was a headwind in both directions on my out and back "Out to East Manitou Rd" route. There were a lot of bicyclists out and some were faster than I was. I was passed by several of them. I was definitely slower on the way back.

9264 steps, 47/147 resting/peak HR, 7:47 hr sleep, 174.0 lbs, 9 floors climbed
run: 3.75 miles, 33.29, 8:56 pace, 85 feet elevation gain, 136 avg HR, 80F, 72% RH, 16 mph ESE wind gusts, mostly sunny

I got out for an early morning run. It was warm and humid already but it was forecast to get much worse during the day. Garmin is coming back up! It was still loading slow this morning but Garmin Connect does load. My knees felt OK. My splits were: 8:56, 8:31, 9:37 and 8:32 over the last 0.75 mile. I also got out for a quick (and windy) bike ride after an early supper.

I got out for an early morning bike ride. There seemed to be a headwind both ways. I pooped out on the way back.

7071 steps, 53/148 resting/peak HR, 8:20 hr sleep, 174.7, 8 floors climbed
run: 3.75 miles, 33:12, 8:51 pace, 72 feet elevation gain, 134 avg HR, 71F, 75% RH, 4 mph SSW wind gusting to 14 mph, mostly cloudy
I got out for an early morning run. My knees ached when I started. I was stubborn so I just kept going and got it done. My splits were: 9:04, 8:32, 9:13 and 8:30 over the last 0.75 miles.

I got out for an early morning bike on my usual "Out to East Manitou Rd" route. I pooped out a bit on the way back but sucked it up a bit and got it done. I didn't have time to shower ... so I went in straight to work. Some things on a printer have to be replaced periodically to get them running reliably.

6694 steps, 49/145 resting/peak HR, 8:36 hr sleep, 175.1 lbs, 5 floors climbed

I got out for an early morning run ... like I have done in one way or another for the past month or so. I think I am on an exercise streak (walk, run, bike) steak. I kept it in a nice and steady ... a "get it done" pace. Anyway ... my splits were: 9:26, 8:34, 8:47 and 8:25 over the last 0.85 mile.

Well ... it's the end of July so it's it's stat time:

I ran 15 times for 43.17 miles, 2.88 miles/run
I biked 17 times for 220.55 miles, 12.97 miles/bike.

I got out for a late morning bike ride and my "Out to East Manitou Rd and around" route. I saw Tom Murphy on the run ... shirtless ... of course.

My darling wife, Christine, and I watched a doubleheader of "How to Train Your Dragon" and "How to Train Your Dragon 2"
