I ran 3 times this week, 15.15 miles.
I didn't bike indoors this week.
I biked once this week, 11.45 miles.
I took 46,009 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 65-year-old mind but any exercise is good in the end.

Walk/Run/Bike electronics: Garmin Venu (backup for the bike) and Shockz Air bone conduction headphones (discontinued on the Shockz website).
Trek Bike electronics: Garmin Edge 530 sensor bundle, Garmin Varia RVR315 rearview radar, Livall EVO21 smart helmet, and Redshiftsports Arclight pedals.
I 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 got them at about a 40% discount. I usually buy my running shoes online or on sale at Fleet Feet.
BTW, I am on a 830 day streak of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 10/1). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

I was out grocery shopping and was listening to the Bills play the Colts in Baltimore. They were down 3-20 by the time I got home.

I had a lazy Monday morning and slept in until 6:30 AM. So ... I got out for a very brisk walk after my work day at Ricoh was done. My splits were 12:16 and 12:27 over the last 0.5 mile.

It was dark and around 40F when I got outside. Other people wouldn't even think of exercising in the dark and would've just stayed curled in bed ... but I guess I am not most people. I wore shorts, a long sleeve tech, Brooks beanie and Brooks light running gloves. I wore my Noxgear Tracer360 lighted vest and new headlamp also. Anyway ... I set up a steady pace and held it without any tiny walk breaks ... got it done! My splits were 8:21, 8:34, 8:31, 8:38 and 8:11 over the last 0.55 mile.

I overslept a bit and just felt off. I dragged myself up, got dressed for 37F and got out for a lethargic walk. I was tired, hungry and just out there to get it done. I started coughing during the day so I think I could be coming down with a cold or maybe it could be just allergies.

I got a solid 8 hours of sleep and felt much better when I woke up. I underdressed a bit since I thought it was 55F instead of 46F. So a brisk pace helped to keep me warm. My splits were 13:03 and 13:09 over the last 0.5 mile.

I woke up at 5:13 AM and started to get ready for a run. But ... I knew that our relatively warm weather was going to go away during the day so I changed gears (pun intended), added more clothes and got out for a bike. I saw 2 lady runners as I headed out on the LOSP trail in the dark. We easily avoided each since we were all using headlamps and Noxgear lighted vests. We exchanged "Morning" and continued onward in opposite directions. It looked like it was going to rain and I hoped I would get done still dry but it started to sprinkle when I was about 1/2 done. I just got a bit damp, no worries.

Shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS20 grey - 445.20 miles
I had to delay my run for a bit while my Garmin Venu charged from 0% to 92%. It was a bit chilly but I just wore shorts, a long sleeve tech, Brooks light running gloves and Brooks beanie. I was cold for about a mile like usual. I struck up a steady pace and held it with any walk breaks. I went out onto the pier for the first time in quite a while. My splits were 8:39, 8:31, 8:39, 8:37, 8:43 and 8:20 over the last 0.55 mile.
