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.

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.

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

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

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.
