I ran 4 times this week, 16.4 miles.
I didn't bike this week.
I took 54,174 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 had a left ankle issue them seems to be OK now so I am 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 655 day streak of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 4/9). 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 try to 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.

I got out again on my "Out by the pier and around" route. It was back to tights and my usual winter running gear AGAIN since it was 37F. I set up an easy pace and got the run done.

What a difference several hours makes! It was 30F with frost on the windshields when I woke up but it was 70F down south of the lake in the afternoon! I got out for a brisk walk after work with just shorts and a long sleeve tech on. My splits were 13:31 and 14:03 over the last 0.5 mile.

I really thought about getting my ass out of bed at 6 AM this morning ... my ass stayed in bed. So ... I got out for a run after work on a new "Out to the Secret Sidewalk" route. It was warmer so I just wore shorts and a short sleeve tech. It's another out and back 5K. I started sluggish for the first mile but got a bit faster once I loosened up. My splits were 9:00, 8:46, 8:50 and 8:16 over the last 0.15 mile.

I wasn't up to getting up and out in the morning. So I got out after work. It was cooler and windier. I was slowed heading into the wind and boosted on the way back on the "Out to Dewey Ave" route. My splits were 8:38, 8:44, 8:34 and 8:07 over the last 0.15 mile.

I got up and out early around 6:30 AM this morning. It was in the low 40s so I wore my Brooks tights (again!!!), long sleeve tech, Brooks 1/4 long sleeve pullover, light running gloves and hat (most of my usual winter running gear in April!). But ... you have to dress a bit warm when you walk since you don't generate as much heat as when you run. Anyway ... it was a nice walk as the sun rose over the Lakeshore Country Club on the other side of Greenleaf Rd. My splits were 13:35 and13:35 over the last 0.5 mile.

Ahh ... the joys of springtime running in Rochester. Yes ... it's springtime ... just not in Rochester. I got up, got dressed in my usual winter running gear and got out for a longer run than usual. Yes ... there was a light rain and then some wet snow mixed in ... but it stopped by the time I got done. I added a mile to my "Out by the pier and around" to make a new "Out by the pier and to Mann Rd" route. I kept my pace nice and easy and just let the run happen. There were a few people out .... a trio of walker guys that I saw twice and two or three dog walkers. An enjoyable run. My splits were 8:58, 8:48, 8:52, 8:41, 9:00 and 8:42 over the last 0.55 mile.
