I didn't snowshoe this week.
I ran 3 times this week, 10.85 miles.
I didn't bike this week.
I took 57,178 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 627 day streak of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 3/12). 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.

My left ankle/foot were a bit wonky after yesterday's Runnin' of the Green so I opted for a walk. I thought I would take an easy walk but ... listening to Zep, Jimmy and the Stones off Spotify plus the cold and wind quickened my pace for sure! My splits were 13:47 and 13:08.

Today's walk was loading the Budget truck that my daughter, Karen, rented for her move to Boston tomorrow. I started my Venu at 12:12 PM and it took 1:36 to load the truck with another guy and I loading it. Another guy was in the truck stacking. Everything went well. I also took out all the trash and recycling. It was nice weather for March: 50F, light wind and mostly sunny. I was more than ready to sit down when I got home but I also did a load of laundry. My clothes were a bit dirty.

I couldn't concentrate on much all day at work. I wasn't motivated for a run so I just did a somewhat brisk walk on my "Out to Ling Rd" route. My splits were 14:26 and 13:53 over the last 0.5 mile.

I got out after work for a 5K on my "Out to Dewey Ave" route. It had a weird weather day all day. Aleza had told me that there was a "Fog Advisory" all day. I had been in the basement all afternoon and was surprised that is foggy out. The KROC airport weather was 54F. Well ... up 1/2 mie from Lake Ontario it was about 34F. I did a nice and easy out and back to Dewey Ave. My left foot (or ankle) was a bit wonky so I just got it done. It sucks but it's how I run right about now. My splits were 8:54, 8:58, 8:58 and 8:39 over the last 0.15 mile.

A big difference between yesterday and today. It was in the low 50s and sunny today so I wore shorts and a long sleeve tech. I opted to break in a new pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 shoes.

I got out during lunch for a walk around L3Harris B601. I wore my old black Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 shoes instead of my new grey Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 shoes. Man ... could I tell a difference even with a walk!

I wanted a run that had a little more scenery so I headed out on my "Out by the pier" route. It's a bit longer and my right ankle/foot was a bit cranky about it. I remember the days that I went out for 8 or 10 mile runs .... now a 4 to 5 mile run makes me limp the rest of the day. Yes, I stretch both heels before and after I run! It's kind of frustrating but I guess I just have to be happy to able to run at all.
