I ran 3 times this week, 6.3 miles.
I didn't bike indoors this week.
I biked 3 times this week, 42.39 miles.
I took 35.253 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.

Walk/Run/Bike electronics: Garmin Venu (backup on the bike) and Shockz Air bone conduction headphones (discontnued on Shockz website).
Trek Bike electronics: Garmin Edge 530 sensor bundle, Garmin Varia RVR315 rearview radar, Livall EVO21 smart helmet, and Redshiftsports Arclight pedals.
I almost always don't buy my electronics retail. I buy my Garmin stuff used off of eBay or an online vendor when it's a generation or more old. I bought the helmet and pedals off of Kickstarter or Indiegogo so I bought them at about a 40% discount.
BTW, I am on a 746 day streak of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 7/9). 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. I believe in science, vaccines, CNN and the CDC. I am fully vaccinated with 2 boosters.

I just wasn't motivated for a run so I changed the pace for a walk instead. It was just your basic "Out to Ling Rd" route at a brisk pace. My splits were 14:16 and 13:59 over the last 0.5 mile.

My mind wanted me to not get out of bed and tried to invent excuses but I finally dragged myself out of bed and got out for a run before work. I told myself that I would take 2 hours off and just work 10AM to 4 PM with no lunch. Hey .. the boss is on vacation and I have earned enough "at-a-boys". I struck up a "it's hot and humid" pace and stuck to it. This run was a lot better than my last run ... yay! My splits were 8:53, 8:57, 8:51 and 8:36 over the last 0.15 mile.

I got out a bit early for my usual "Out to East Manitou Rd" route. It ws mid 60s so I just wore shorts and a long sleeve tech. It was a nice and peaceful ride between the 3 ponds and Lake Ontario.

I got on for a run on my usual "Out to Clematis St" route. I stuck up a bit faster pace and held it. I felt good and ran good. My splits were 8:24, 8:33, 8:35 and 8:10 over the last 0.15 mile.

I got out a bit early. It was a bit cool so I wore shorts, a long sleeve tech and my Brooks jacket. A nice ride as usual on my usual "Out to East Manitou Rd" route. I saw a skunk cross Island Cottage Rd on the way out. A truck scared it into getting all the way across the road. I gave it a wide berth (about 15 feet) on my way by.

I got out around 7 AM on my longer "Out by the pier and around" route. I had some cereal before I headed out instead of an energy bar or some grapes. I struck up a nice and easy pace and held it until mile 4. I took 2 tiny walk breaks coming up the hill on Greenleaf Rd. My splits were 8:55, 8:44, 8:48, 9:14 and 8:22 over the last 0.55 mile. I think some better nutrition made a difference because the last run on this route really sucked.
