I ran 6 times this week, 24.51 miles.
I took 56,858 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 (when it feels like connecting to our Wi-Fi).
WALKING/RUNNING: I have gotten over a nagging ache in my left hip/hamstring through lots and LOTS of stretching. So ... I do walks or runs and then stretch afterwards. 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 1726 day steak (4 years, 8 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 3/15). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

It was warm and very windy when I got out for a wind-aided and wind-hindered run on my "Out to Stutson St Overlook" run. The wind tried to push me back at first for sure. My joints ached a bit at first too. But ... the wind did help me when I made the turn to head home. My splits were 9:33, 9:04, 8:13 and 8:04 over the last 0.15 mile.

Yes ... I groaned when Alexa told me at 5:20 AM that it was 31F with a projected high of 61F. Yes ... I did get out for a run on my "Out by the pier and around" route. But ... did I enjoy or even want to be out there? Hell, no! I just didn't have any mojo whatsoever. Maybe it was that I had just run 12 hours earlier or maybe that I was thinking that if I ran after work it would be a LOT warmer. My mind just didn't want to run so I cut in some walks so I could fiddle with my music app that had been stuck on one song by Bob Seger. I did get it back to shuffling songs which helped a little bit. My splits were 8:58, 9:05, 9:08, 11:15 and 8:42 over the last 0.56 mile.

I had a vacation day from Ricoh so I slept in and got out around 8:15 AM. I chose my longer "Out to Island Cottage Rd" route. It was warmer so I just wore shorts and a long sleeve tech. No gloves and no hat! I set out at a nice and easy pace like usual. No worries on this simple out and back route. The 4 trees down on the LOSP Trail almost to Dewey Ave were gone without a trace. My splits were 8:56, 8:46, 8:44, 8:31, 8:36 and 7:57 over the last 0.15 mile.

I had another vacation day from Ricoh so I slept in even longer and got out after lunch. My darling wife, Christine, was out getting her hair dyed. I set up a nice and easy pace like usual. I stopped by the USPS and mail my latest dvdinbox.com DVDs back. Yes ... I just record them to MP4 and don't watch them! Easy-peasy on the run. My splits were 9:14, 8:56, 8:53 and 8:23.
Chrisine and I just finished our latest binge watch. We watched all 6 seasons of Lucifer off Netflix over the last several weeks. It was a good series! BTW ... it's our way to avoid the news. We are true blue Democrats and absolutely hate what Trump, Musk and ALL his minions to doing to the US. I sincerely think that there will riots in the streets and hope that we will be able to vote (and have our vote count) in 2026.

It was in the high 40s and windy so I wore shorts and a long/short sleeve tech combo. I got for a run on my usual "Out by the pier and around" route. My body sort of complained about this run. My right calf felt a bit cranky like yesterday but it was OK in short order. The wind did mess with my mind so I took a few walks. My splits were 9:11, 8:42, 9:11, 9:27 and 8:43 over the last 0.45 mile.
