I ran 6 times this week, 26.61 miles.
I didn't bike indoors this week.
I didn't bike outdoors this week.
I took 60,582 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 am back to short walks (1.5 miles), runs (< 6.2 miles) or bike rides (< 20 miles). A run or a bike is better than a walk in my 65-year-old mind but any exercise is good in the end.

BTW, I am on a 956 day streak of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 2/4). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

I got out for a run on my "Out to the end of Beach Ave" route. My upper left hamstring was a bit achy so I took it really easy. My splits were 9:42, 9:12, 8:54 and 8:52 ... a negative split.
I watched the Super Bowl between the Eagles and the Chiefs. I had a bit of skin in the game so I was happy that it was the high scoring game. The Chiefs were down 10 at halftime and won 38-35, link here.

My body needed to walk so I took an easy walk on my "Out to Ling Rd" route. My splits were 15:29 and 14:34 over the last 0.5 mile.
Today, a US Air Force F-22 shot down the Chinese "weather" ballon that had been criss-crossing the US from Idaho to the South Caroline coast.

It was definitely colder than yesterday. There was frost on all the windshields when I stepped out a bit after 6 AM. I was a bit late but I did my "Out to the end of Beach Ave" anyway. The full moon in west sky was quite striking. All in all ... a pretty good run! My splits were 9:26, 9:11, 8:52, 8:57 and 8:08 over the last 0.25 mile.

I got for a run on my "Out by the pier and around" route. I was going to do a 5K on my "Out to Stutson St Overlook" route by turned left instead of right ... and the die was cast for a longer run. I did find out one thing ... the Tracer Lamp that I bought for my Tracer360 vest a few weeks ago dies when its battery runs out. It doesn't gracefully get dim ... it just dies ... boom. Luckily it happened after I came upon a dog walker on the Secret Sidewalk wearing all black. Street lights were enough to light my way after that. My splits were 9:09, 8:56, 9:02, 9:01 and 8:41 over the last 0.55 mile.

Today was a day of vacation from Ricoh so I slept in until 7:49 AM. Wow ... a solid 8 hours of sleep! There was a light rain outside but the forecast was more of the same all day so I got up, got dressed and got out there. I set up a nice and easy pace on my "Out by the pier and around" route. I thought of either a shorter or longer run but went with my tried and true route of 4.55 miles. The light mist at the start seemed to be a light rain at the end. My splits were 9:09, 9:04, 8:53, 8:49 and 8:28 over the last 0.55 mile.

Today was another day of vacation from Ricoh. I only slept in until just before 7 AM. I got for another run on my "Out by the pier and around" route. It was windy so it was a bit more difficult to run into the wind. I took it easy since it was my 4th run day in a row. My splits were 9:34, 8:44, 8:51, 9:06 and 8:26 over the last 0.65 mile.

I got a bit later than usual run on my rarely used "Out by the pier" route. I probably should have taken a walk instead but the ache in my left hamstring went away after a couple of miles. My splits were 9:29, 8:56, 9:04, 8:49 and 8:16 over the last 0.56 mile.
