I ran 3 times this week, 10.75 miles.
I took x steps this week according to my Garmin Venu smartwatch.
My Venu gives me steps, heart rate and floors climbed (take that last data point with a grain of salt). My Withings WS-50 Smart Body Analyzer scale gives my weight. All weather conditions are from the Greater Rochester International Airport (KROC) which is 13.3 miles away.
WALKING/RUNNING: I have a swollen right knee. So ... I am doing a lot more walks than runs. A run is better than a walk in my 67-year-old mind but any exercise is good in the end.

Walk/Run electronics: I use my Garmin Venu for runs and walks. I listen to my CelsusSound S800C Bone Conduction Headphones.
BTW, I am on a 1908 day steak (since 6/24/2020 or 5 years, 2 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 9/13). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

I got out for a nice out and back on my "Out to Dewey Ave" route. Nothing complicated. My splits were 8:58, 8:47, 8:44 and 8:19 over the last 0.15 mile.
The Buffalo Bills headed down to play the NY Jets. Well ... the Bills are now 2-0 after beating down the NY Jets 30-10. Josh got hit in the nose in the 2nd quarter, ran off the field, had it reset and ran back to complete the quarter.

I didn't feel like getting out of bed so I bagged this walk (after 4 run days) until lunchtime. There was a cool wind off Lake Ontario, but I managed to work up a bit of a sweat. My splits were 13:32 and 14:07 over the last 0.75 mile.

Well ... I slept like crap last night. I couldn't get to sleep for a long while and then I woke to go to the bathroom at least 4 times! But ... today was my 68th birthday so I had to run ... and run at least 6.8K. So ... I set my alarm for 6 AM (up at 5:42 AM anyways) ... got up, set the coffee timer up, got dressed and got out there. I chose my rarely used "Out to Dewey Ave and around" route. I set up a nice and easy pace ... and held it without stopping for any tiny walk breaks. I did slow down on the hill at the bottom of Greenleaf Rd. My splits were 9:00, 8:52, 8:49, 9:00 and 8:39 over the last 0.45 mile.

I slept a bit better last night so I was a bit more able to get up and out of bed for yet another run on my "Out to the Secret Sidewalk". I stopped to take a pic (and catch my breath). My splits were 9:07, 9:13, 8:47 and 8:13 over the last 0.15 mile.
