Sunday, 6/26/2022 to Saturday, 7/2/2022 --- IN PROGRESS

I walked once this week, 1.5 miles.

I ran twice this week, 6.2 miles.

I didn't bike indoors this week.

I biked 4 times this week, 50.21 miles.

I took 25,955 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: My left arch issue is OK now so I am back to short walks, runs or bike rides. 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 732 day streak of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 6/25). 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. I believe in science, vaccines, CNN and the CDC. I am fully vaccinated with 2 boosters.

1578 steps, 40/109 avg/max HR, 7:46 hours sleep, 9 floors climbed

Bike: 15.55 miles, 1:07:39, 13.8/23.6 avg/max mph, 93 feet elevation gain, 96/112 avg/max HR, 25/31 avg/max respiration, 56/79 avg/max cadence, 78F, 60% RH, 6 mph S wind, sunny

It was warm and windy when I got out just before 7 AM on my slightly longer "Out to East Manitou Rd and around" route. I had oiled my chain and pumped up my tires from 20 to 60 psi so I was a bit curious as how the bike would respond to a bit of TLC. Well ... it did OK. It wasn't as noisy when I pedaled. It also seemed a bit faster ... or it could have been a tail wind. I headed into the wind on the way back on Edgemere Drive so that slowed me down a bit. But I did get up a good pace when I was heading up East Manitou Rd. It was a nice ride like usual.

Monday, 6/27/2022

5193 steps, 42/90 resting/max HR, 7:22 hours sleep, 180.9 (down 0.1), 9 floors climbed

Walk: 1.5 miles, 22:39, 15:07 pace, 26 feet elevation gain, 79/86 avg/max HR, 114/126 avg/max cadence, 68F, 63% RH, 5 mph W wind, sunny

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 grey: 217.60 miles

I woke up and puttered around a bit more than usual. My joints were a bit cranky so I opted for a low impact walk. I think a run would have been ill advised. 

Tuesday, 6/28/2022

1149 steps, 42/109 resting/max HR, 9:39 hours sleep, 181.0 pounds (up 0.1), 6 floors climbed

Bike: 11.74 miles, 52:28, 13.4/21.1 avg/max mph, 67 feet elevation gain, 95/112 avg/max HR, 25/31 avg/max respiration, 56/78 avg/max cadence, 52F, 87% RH, 6 mph WSW wind, sunny

I got out a bit late so I chose my slightly shorter "Out to Long Pond Rd and around" route. It had been clear overnight so it was a bit cooler. I started out in pants and a long/short sleeve tech combo. I circled back after 100 yards to ditch the short sleeve tech and put on my Brooks jacket ... which was a wise choice. It was a sunny and beautiful morning ride!

Wednesday, 6/29/2022

7946 steps, 41/146 resting/max HR, 8:04 hours sleep, 180.9 pounds (down 0.1), 17 floors climbed

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 grey: 220.75 miles

I got out for a run on my "Out to Clematis St" route. I started a bit slow and then pushed the pace a little bit the rest of the way. I did notice that Lake Ontario was quite calm but didn't really notice the flowers near the Secret Sidewalk. I pushed through the areas that I usually take a tiny walk break and didn't stop. My splits were 8:33, 8:27, 8:36 and 7:57 over the last 0.15 mile.

Thursday, 6/30/2022

2747 steps, 40/109 resting/max HR, 7:11 hours sleep, 179.6 pounds (down 1.3), 12 floors climbed

Bike: 11.52 miles, 52:19, 13.2/19.9 avg/max mph, 59 feet elevation gain, 93/107 avg/max HR, 24/29 avg/max respiration, 53/77 avg/max cadence, 55F, 94% RH, 3 mph WSW wind, mostly cloudy

I got out about 10 minutes late so I opted for my slightly shorter "Out to Long Pond Rd and around" route. It was a nice ride like usual.

It's the end of June so it's stat time!

I took 8 walks in June for 10.67 miles, 1.33 miles/walk and 80 walks for 110.02 miles, 1.38 miles/walk so far in 2022.

I took 14 runs in June for 40.74 miles, 2.91 miles/run and 81 runs for 110.02 miles, 2.91 miles/run so far in 2022.

I took 12 bikes in June for 155.61 miles, 12.97 miles/bike and 28 bikes for 374.2 miles, 13.36 miles/bike.

I took 162.647 steps in June and 1,159,505 steps so far in 2022.

Yes, I don't run as much. I am just cautious that I will break or tweak something if I go longer than 5 miles. I do get out every day. My 2 year streak from June 24, 2020 of at least 1 mile of either walk/run/bike continues!

Friday, 7/1/2022

6324 steps, 41/142 resting/max HR, 7:13 hours sleep, 180.2 pounds (up 0.6), 11 floors climbed

Run: 3.15 miles, 27:43, 8:48 pace, 55 feet elevation gain, 131/145 avg/max HR, 156/163 avg/max cadence, 70F, 60% RH, 10 mph SW wind, mostly cloudy

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 grey: 223.90 miles

I thought about a walk but opted for a run instead. My joints creaked a bit for the first 100 yards but I continued onward and they fell into line. My splits were 8:41, 8:42, 9:01 and 8:42 over the last 0.15 mile.

Saturday, 7/2/2022

1040 steps, 40/104 resting/max HR, 9:54 hours sleep, 180.1 pounds, 3 floors climbed

Bike: 13.40 miles, 1:01:40, 13.0/18.3 avg/max mph, 23/31 avg/max respiration, 52/72 avg/max cadence, 66F, 83% RH, 6 mph NNW wind, mostly cloudy

I got out a bit later than usual on my usual "Out to East Manitou Rd" route. It was a bit damp still in the shaded areas due to the rain overnight. I took it easy and just enjoyed being outside on a beautiful morning ride between the 3 ponds (Buck, Long and Cranberry) and Lake Ontario.
