Sunday, 2/27/2022 to Saturday, 3/5/2022

I walked 4 times this week, 6.05 miles.

I didn't snowshoe this week, x miles.

I ran 3 times this week, 8.55 miles.

I didn't bike this week.

I took 47,941 steps this week according to my Garmin Venu smartwatch.

My Venu 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.

WALKING/RUNNING/BIKING: I have had a left ankle issue them seems to be almost OK now so I am getting back to short runs. A run is better than a walk in my 64-year-old mind but any exercise is good in the end.

BTW, I am on a 613 day streak of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 2/26). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

COVID-19: I've had the same blurb about COVID-19 for about 2 years with some varying details. Hey ... been doing it for 2 years so I will change it up.  I believe in science, vaccines, CNN, the CDC and wear a mask over my nose and mouth when I am in a public space like Wegmans or BJs even if it's not required.

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 488.37 miles

I got out for a walk in the AM on my "Out to Ling Rd" route. My left ankle eventually loosened up after about a mile. My splits were 17:04 and 15:32.

Monday, 2/28/2022

8538 steps, 53/104 resting/max HR, 6:49 hours sleep, 182.2 pounds, 14 floors climbed

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 489.97 miles

I got out for a brisk walk on my "Around complex" route. My left ankle felt OK so I kept up a brisk pace to keep warm. It was chilly with a breath of a wind so the wind chill was near or below single digits. I was more than happy to stop when I got done. My splits were 14:03 an 13:38 over the last 0.6 mile.

It's the end of February so it's stat time! This month was a struggle between the weather and various injuries. My right plantar fasciitis healed but my left ankle troubled me which forced me inside twice. I went to the Greenleaf Meadows fitness center for the treadmill and exercise bike. My walk/run/bike streak lives on ... I guess.

I rode an indoor exercise bike once for 20 minutes and about 5 miles.

I took 18 walks for 24.86 miles, 1.38 miles/walk.

I walked a mile on a treadmill.

I took 6 runs for 21.55 miles, 3.59 miles/run

I ran 2 races during February

 02/05 - Freezeroo #5, 8 miles, 1:09:09, 8:39 pace, 51st out of 114, 8th out of 15 in my M 60-64 age group, 9F, 72% RH, 9 mph W wind, wind chill -2F, sunny

 02/19 - Freezeroo #6, 4.4 miles, 37:29, 8:32 pace, 63rd out of 116, 7th out of 11 in my M 60-64 age group, 29F, 75% RH, 22 mph WSW wind, wind chill 16F, partly cloudy

I took 173,503 steps in February.

Tuesday, 3/1/2022

5726 steps, 48/150 resting/max HR, 8:35 hours sleep, 182.8 pounds, 13 floors climbed

Run: 3.15 miles, 27:08, 8:36 pace, 67 feet elevation gain, 150/152 avg/max HR, 156/165 avg/max cadence, 39F, 76% RH, 6 mph N wind, wind chill 37F, cloudy

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 493.12 miles

It was 20F warmer than yesterday so I took my iffy left ankle out for a run. It was almost 40F so I wore shorts, Brooks 1/4 zip long sleeve pullover, heavy running gloves and Brooks beanie. I was a bit overdressed by the time I got done. I tend to overdress when the temperature swings. I thought about just my "Out to Beach Ave" route but my left ankle was sort of OK so I pushed it to the beginning of Edgemere Drive before I turned around. A run in shorts on March 1st, baby! My splits were 8:39, 8:57, 8:28 and 8:05 over the last 0.15 mile.

Wednesday, 3/2/2022

5474 steps, 53/106 resting/max HR, 7:30 hours sleep, 181.1 pounds, 8 floors climbed

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 494.72 miles

I got out after work for a walk on my "Around the complex" route. My left ankle ached a wee bit and I was able to hold a brisk pace. My splits were 14:29 and 13:53 over the last 0.6 mile.

Thursday, 3/3/2022

9464 steps, 47/100 resting/max HR, 7:56 hours sleep, 182.2 pounds, 8 floors climbed

Walk: 1.1 miles, 19:56, 18:10 pace, 79/92 avg/max HR, 101/118 avg/max cadence

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 495.82 miles

I chose a walk inside the L3Harris B601 rather than braving the single digit wind chill outside. Been there, done that, exercise is exercise.

Friday, 3/4/2022

6005 steps, 46/139 resting/max HR, 8:07 hours sleep, 183.0 pounds, 20 floors climbed

Run: 2.25 miles, 20:06, 8:55 pace, 133/142 avg/max HR, 155/163 avg/max cadence, 27F, 50% RH, 14 mph WSW wind, wind chill 18F, sunny

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 498.07 miles

It was cold, windy but sunny so I decided to take myself out for a short run during lunch. The only thing was that I was still full for eating not 1, not 2 but 3 donuts over at L3Harris B6 at 11:15 AM. So ... I was still full. The result? A very sluggish run. I didn't barf so there is that, lol! Oh, well. Chalk one up to experience. I kept it short on my "Out to Beach Ave" route. My splits were 8:48, 9:06 and 8:41 over the last 0.25 mile.

Saturday, 3/5/2022

5936 steps, 41/144 resting/max HR, 8:26 hours sleep, 183.3 pounds, 16 floors climbed

Run: 3.15 miles, 27:23, 8:41 pace, 66 feet elevation gain, 134/146 avg/max HR, 159/167 avg/max cadence, 30F, 55% RH, 5 mph SE wind, cloudy

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 501.22 miles

The annual "Run Around The Bay" run was run today. It's a run around Irondequoit Bay from the Swing Bridge on Lake Rd. It's about a 15 mile run which I ran from 2009 to 2020. It's definitely a run that I liked to run with lots of hills on the west side that went all the way down to the surface of Irondequoit Bay twice. I was absolutely not up to running that far so I didn't even think of going. I opted for a nice and easy 5K on my "Out to Mann Rd" route instead. My splits were 8:42, 8:38, 8:46 and 8:18 over the last 0:15 mile.

Sunday, 2/20/2022 to Saturday, 2/26/2022

I walked 5 times this week, 6.55 miles.

I didn't snowshoe this week, 0 miles.

I ran once this week, 2.25 miles.

I didn't bike this week.

I rode an exercise bicycle once this week for 20 minutes.

I took 34.268 steps this week according to my Garmin Venu smartwatch.
My Venu 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.

WALKING/RUNNING/BIKING: I am pretty sure that I have 100% recovered from plantar fasciitis in my right heel. I have been wearing compression socks and stretching a lot for at least 3 months now. It has slowly helped. A run is better than a walk in my 64-year-old mind but any exercise is good in the end.

BTW, I am on a 606 day streak of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 2/19). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

Sunday, 2/19/2022

2053 steps, 47/93 resting/peak HR, 7:12 hrs sleep, 182.7 lbs, 2 floors climbed

Indoor bike: 20 minutes

The bicycle didn't have a cadence tracker so ...

My left ankle was still gimpy so I decided to stop at the Greenleaf Meadows fitness center before I went out grocery shopping. Well ... that was pretty stupid. I bicyled at an easy level for 20 minutes and ended up sweating like a pig ... in my normal clothes. Rookie move! I forgot that you sweat when you work out in a heated environment like a fitness center. I had to take off my shirt and walk around a bit before I continue on with my grocery shopping.

Monday, 2/20/2022

6351 steps, 52/99 resting/max HR, 7:38 hrs sleep, 182.9 lbs, 6 floors climbed

Walk: 1.2 miles, 23:18, 19:25 pace, 90/107 avg/max HR, 100/109 avg/max cadence, 45F, 66% RH, 15 mph NNE wind, wind chill 38F, partly cloudy

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 480.62 miles

My left ankle was a bit better so I decided to slowly walk around L3Harris B601 before I headed out to my next building. I freaking hate walking when I am injured ... just being honest. Sometimes life throws you lemons. 

Tuesday, 2/22/2022

4862 steps, 46/103 resting/max HR, 7:43 hrs sleep, 183.5 lbs, 9 floors climbed

Walk: 1.6 miles, 26:55 mile, 16:50 pace, 6 feet elevation gain, 81/108 avg/max HR, 111/123 avg/max cadence, 48F, 94 % RH, 9 mph S wind, wind chill 45F, overcast with a light mist

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 482.22 miles

Another "Two"sday, ... error. 2/22/22. I got out after work for a walk around the Greenleaf Meadows. My left ankle loosened up after a bit ... but I know that I can't run and walking is the best option. My splits were 17:37 and 15:31 over the last 0.6 mile.

Wednesday, 2/23/2022

4833 steps, 48/93 resting/max HR, 7:51 hrs sleep, 183.8 lbs, 2 floors climbed

Walk: 1.1 mile, 22:15, 20:14 pace, 78/100 avg/max HR, 106/120 avg/max cadence

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 483.32 miles

The weather turned colder and windier so I turned back to walking inside L3Harris B601 for a mile. My left ankle is better but not 100%. It doesn't have a sharp pain, just an ache ... maybe a 2 out of 10. I can walk and not limb but I am damn sure that I can't run so I don't even f***ing try. It sucks.

Thursday, 2/24/2022

6425 steps, 48/96 resting/max HR, 9:59 hrs sleep, 183.0 lbs, 4 floors climbed

Walk: 1.05 mile, 22;39, 21:36 pace, 82/91 avg/max HR, 108 avg cadence

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 484.37 miles

It was cold and windy like yesterday ... so I took to walk inside L3Harris B601 today again. Joy ... my left ankle is just a bit off. I know I can't run on it so I don't even f***ing try. It sucks.

Friday, 2/25/2022

4173 steps, 48/96 resting/max HR, 8:08 hrs sleep, 182.6 lbs, 8 floors climbed

Walk: 1.6 miles, 24:10, 15:05 pace, 10 feet elevation gain, 84/96 avg/max HR, 113/130 avg/max cadence, 20F, 100% RH, 9 mph W wind, wind chill 10F, cloudy with light snow

Shoes: Salomon Speedcross 4 trail shoes blue: 207.66 miles

It snowed about 4 to 6 inches during the night and day. I got out for a walk around the Greenleaf Meadows complex. My left ankle felt OK with it.

Saturday, 2/26/2022

5560 steps, 46/143 resting/max HR, 7:43 hrs sleep, 182.8 lbs, 17 floors climbed

Run: 2.25 miles, 20:16, 8:59 pace, 47 feet elevation gain, 147/149 avg/max HR, 157/164 avg/max cadence

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 486.62 miles

The snow had stopped overnight so I got out in the chilly sunshine for a short run in the morning. I kept it short on my "Out to Beach Ave" route. My right arch started to ache about a mile in so I knew that turning around would be a good idea. Sadly ... I limped the rest of the day. It really kind of sucks ... but getting ... more experienced ... really sucks. Anyway ... my splits were 8:49, 8:03 and 9:22.

Sunday, 2/13/2022 to Sunday, 2/19/2022 - Freezeroo #6

I walked 5 times this week, 7.4 miles.

I snowshoed once this week, 2.08 miles.

I ran once this week, 4.39 miles.

I didn't bike this week.

I took 44,460 steps this week according to my Garmin Venu smartwatch.

Walk: 1.6 miles, 27:57, 17:57 pace, 12 feet elevation gain, 81/99 resting/max HR, 110/119 avg/max cadence, 

Shoes: Salomon Speedcross 4 trail shoes blue: 199.59 miles

A light and fluffy snow was falling when I woke up, got dressed and got out there. My left ankle and the danger posed by the snow told me to walk on the 600th day of my walk/run/bike streak. I decided to do my walk in the Greenleaf Meadow complex to keep off the road and avoid cars and plows. I wore my Salomon Speedcross 4 trail shoes. They made easy work of the 4 inches of fluffy snow that had already fallen (and was still falling).

Monday, 2/14/2022

3016 steps, 49/97 resting/max HR, 8:34 hrs sleep, 181.0 lbs, 3 floors climbed

Walk: 1.0 miles, 18:05 pace, avg/max HR, 110/120 avg/max cadence

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 474.62 miles

Life got in the way during lunch and before supper so I did ... gasp ... a treadmill mile at the Greenleaf Meadows fitness center after supper. Ugh! A mile is a mile and I didn't freeze my ass off in the dark or slip on any ice. I also figured out how to get into the fitness center if I ever can get up the gumption to work out on weights.

Tuesday, 2/15/2022

6493 steps, 48/116 resting/max HR, 8:29 hrs sleep, 182.5 lbs, 6 floors climbed

Walk: 1.2 miles, 17:17, 14:25 pace, 5 feet elevation gain, 96/112 avg/max HR, 119/129 avg/max cadence, 23F, 68% RH, 12 NNW wind, wind chill 13F, cloudy

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 475.82 miles

I got out for a brisk walk around the L3Harris B601. Got it done just as my "Back from lunch" alarm went off.

Wednesday, 2/16/2022

6631 steps, 49/98 resting/max HR, 7:57 hrs sleep, 181.7 lbs, 9 floors climbed

Walk: 1.6 miles, 24:04, 15:02 pace, 10 feet elevation gain, 83/102 avg/max HR, 120/128 avg/max cadence, 

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 477.42 miles

I got out after work for a walk around the Greenleaf Meadows complex. I wanted a run but my left ankle is still not 100%. It's like a slight nagging pain that I just know I would aggravate if I run on it. It was warm and I thought about shorts and a long sleeve tech but I put on my Brooks tights, long sleeve tech and Brooks 1/4 zip long sleeve pullover. I'm glad I did because it was a cold wind and you don't warm very much on a walk. I did wear just a hat and light running gloves instead of my Brooks beanie or heavy running gloves. I got it done ... big whoop.

Thursday, 2/17/2022

8690 steps, 48/100 resting/max HR, 8:19 hrs sleep, 183.1 lbs, 5 floors climbed

Walk: 2.00 miles, 40:34, 20:17 pace, 79/89 avg/max HR, 95/112 avg/max cadence

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 479.42 miles

It was warm but raining outside. I chose to walk inside L3Harris B601 for the first time. One loop turned out to be 0.5 mile. I decided to do 4 loops. The printers were quiet so why not? My splits were 20:47 and 19:49.

The weather did a turn back to winter today. The day started around 50F at midnight and was 30F around the next midnight. It clouded up and rained during the afternoon and evening which melted a lot of the snowpack. But the rain turned to sleet, a bit of freezing rain and then snow by Friday morning.

Friday 2/18/2022

5381 steps, 48/106 resting/max HR, 8:53 hrs sleep, 181.6 lbs, 13 floors climbed

Snowshoe: 2.08 miles, 44:05, 21:13 pace, 42 feet elevation gain, 96/113 avg/max HR, 95 avg cadence, 20F, 6 mph W wind, wind chill 12F, partly cloudy

Shoes: Salomon Speedcross 4 trail shoes blue: 201.67 miles

It snowed about 2 to 3 inches during the morning. I didn't want to do another walk so I decided to do a snowshoe around the Lake Shore Country Club. I had to detour a bit because there were a few sections that had water under the snow. The snow conditions varied from crusty to snow so I had to be a bit careful with each step. I didn't know whether I would walk on top or sink in. My splits were 22:35 and 19:55.

Saturday, 2/19/2022

8193 steps, 49/154 resting/max HR, 9:12 hrs sleep, 182.0 lbs, 29 floors climbed

I woke up around 6:30 AM for my usual puttering around. I knew that I had to leave around 8:30 AM or so to get out to Webster for Freezeroo #6. I wasn't too worried .... until I looked out at 8 AM and saw that it was snowing and blowing. I am a certified crazy runner ... so I just got ready by throwing my usual cold weather running gear (besides what I usually wore) and headed out around 8:40 AM. 

The roads were a bit dicey. The slight downhill left hand turn from Greenleaf Rd onto the entrance ramp for the Parkway East was a bit white knuckled as a guardrail inched closer before the tires of my Trax bit and turned left. It's a good thing I'm knew enough to really slow down. 104E has 2/3 of its lanes open so I just drove carefully. I got to the "White House" on Lake Rd (just to the left of Holt Rd) around 9:20 AM. 

The view out the White House window looking north toward Lake Ontario. It was snowing and blowing ... and the sun came out!

I waited around inside and didn't go out for a warm up run. I headed out with the other runners and waited. I saw that the finish line in a parking lot off Holt Rd was icy. We headed out into the road about 30 seconds before 10 AM. 

Run: 4.39 miles, 37:29, 8:32 pace, 160 feet elevation gain, 146/160 avg/max HR, 160/172 avg/max cadence, 29F, 75% RH, 22 WSW wind, wind chill 16F, partly cloudy

Shoes: Salomon Speedcross 4 trail shoes blue: 206.06 miles

And ... we were off! We ran almost always in the road on both loops since the shoulder weren't plowed. Some drivers did get a bit antsy since we were running in the road with our backs to them. I don't like this course because of that but this course has always been clockwise ... tradition is tradition. This course is two 2.2 mile loops. I really wanted to stop after one loop.

My left ankle complained as I ran on the second loop but I didn't stop even though I wanted to ... I kept on running. Mile 4 ... I could see the turn into the finish ... up the final hill ... be careful on the ice ... and done! I was more than happy to stop running ... and limp over to the "White House".

Loop2 ... photo courtesy of Christina Darlak Ruhland

There is always lots of food after Freezeroo #6 so I ate my fill ... 2 donuts and 4 small pieces of pizza. Mmm! I didn't win any awards in my M 60-64 age group but I didn't expect to. I have lost a step or two in the past couple years. Ahh ... youth is wasted on the young!

I did OK. I finished in 37:26 officially, 63rd out of 116, link here. I was 7th out of 11 in my M 60-64 age group, link here. I was 7th out of 13 in the Freezeroo Series M 60-64 age group, link here. My splits were 8:32, 8:33, 8:27, 8:37 and 8:29 over the last 0.39 mile. And yes ... my left ankle really didn't like my race today.

Sunday, 2/6/2022 to Saturday, 2/12/2022

I walked 6 times this week, 7.51 miles.

I didn't snowshoe this week.

I ran once this week, 3.15 miles.

I didn't bike this week.

I took 34,810 steps this week according to my Garmin Venu smartwatch.
My Venu 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.

WALKING/RUNNING/BIKING: I am pretty sure that I have 100% recovered from plantar fasciitis in my right heel. I have been wearing compression socks and stretching a lot for at least 3 months now. It has slowly helped. A run is better than a walk in my 64-year-old mind but any exercise is good in the end.

BTW, I am on a 592 day streak of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 2/5). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

COVID-19: I've had the same blurb about COVID-19 for about 2 years with some varying details. Hey ... been doing it for 2 years so I will change it up.  I believe in science, vaccines, CNN, the CDC and wear a mask over my nose and mouth when I am in a public space like Wegmans or BJs even if it's not required.

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 465.77 miles

My left ankle was not 100% but I got out anyway. I didn't want to go on any uneven surface so I stayed on 2 loops of the road aroud the Greenleaf Meadows complex. I loosened up and went faster on the second loop. My Garmin died just before I finished the second loop.

Monday, 2/7/2022

3644 steps, 49/107 resting/max HR, 7:52 hrs sleep, 180.8 lbs, 0(!!) floors climbed

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 466.82 miles

I got out during work at L3Harris B101. It was above freezing and it felt warmer so I just walked and got a mile in. My left ankle loosened up so I could hit an OK pace.

Tuesday, 2/8/2022

7335 steps, 49/106 resting/max HR, 8:47 hrs sleep, 181.4 lbs, 12 floors climbed

I got out during work at L3Harris B601. It was around freezing and windy so I kicked up the pace when I turned into the wind. My left ankle felt a bit better so I hit a good pace.

I noticed that it was almost 50F so I got out of my chair at L3Harris B601 and got out for a fast walk. My left ankle felt better after 100 feet so I picked up the pace.

Shoes: Salomon Speedcross 4 trail shoes blue: 197.99 miles

My motivation has been lacking lately but I dragged myself out there. I shouldn't have taken this particular "Another mile" route since it was on the LOSP Trail. There was still snow on this route and I slipped and slid even with my Salomon SpeedCross 4 trail shoes. All I could think about is ... don't tweak your left ankle again. I did get into a brief and slow run when I got to the clear sidewalk on Latta Rd. Then it was back whence I came. I got it done ... big whoop.

I got out for a walk around the L3Harris B601 before I went home for the day. My left ankle felt well enough for a short run tomorrow.

Run: 3.15 miles, 27:38, 8:46 pace, 44 feet elevation gain, 135/149 avg/max HR, 159/165 avg/max cadence, 34F, 81% RH, 9 to 28 mph WSW wind, wind chill 27F, cloudy

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 black: 473.62 miles

I got out around 8 AM for either a 2, 3 or 4 mile run. It was the first run on my left ankle in a week so I didn't want to push it but I didn't want to baby it either. So ... I went with the middle choice and ran a 5K on my "Out to Clio St" route. I took it nice and easy. The shoulders on Beach Ave weren't as bad as the last time I ran this route. I think they melted rather were plowed. I overdressed a bit. I thought the wind chill would be a bit more biting to my face so I wore my balaclava. My splits were 8:44, 8:42, 8:56 and 8:21 over the last 0.15 mile.
