I ran 5 times this week, 22.35 miles.
I took 57,439 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 1733 day steak (4 years, 8 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 3/22). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

Springs appears to have flown the coop for a while. It turned colder overnight. It was sunny but a chilly 27F when I stepped outside this morning. So ... it was back to tights and my usual winter running gear ... yet again. I struck up a nice and easy pace as I tried to warm up. I chose my "Out to Dewey Ave and around" pace. I usually run faster on this route and today was no exception. My splits were 8:30, 8:43, 8:28, 8:30 and 8:08 over the last 0.45 mile.

I was a bit lazy today. I got out a walk on my usual "Out to Ling Rd" in between doing loads of laundry. It was warmer but very windy today. My splits were 13:50 and 12:55 over the last 0.65 mile.

Well ... I totally forgot to press Start or I didn't press it good enougn on my Venu. I set off on my "Out to Dewey Ave and around" route nice and easy but really kicked it a notch when I got to Dewey Ave and then a bit more when I got to Greenleaf Rd. I didn't notice that anything was amiss until I circled in for my townhouse. Damn!!! I really thought that I ran about a 8:30 pace. Well ... I guess I will run this route again sometime when I actually press START!
I did a bit of binge watching off of Prime Video ... Andromeda Strain (1971) and War Games (1983) . I remember seeing War Games with my ex-wife way back before kids when we visited Arcadia National Park in Maine. The movie is a bit dated with ... 8" floppy drives!!!

It was cold, almost calm and clear when I stepped outside. I wanted to run but my right knee ached a bit so I wisely chose a walk on my "Out to Ling Rd" route. I limped for a bit before my joints loosened up enough for me to get up to my usual brisk pace. My splits were 13:32 and 13:03 over the last 0.65 mile.

I got for a quick run on my "Out to Dewey Ave and around" route. It was 39F so I decided to wear shorts and a short sleeve / Brooks 1/4 zip long sleeve pullover combo. I also wore my Zensah compression socks that I probably haven't worn in 10 years so there wasn't too much on my legs uncovered. My right knee ached a bit for the first mile but I ignored it. I thought I used the same effort as Wednesday when I DIDN'T press Start on my Venu. So ... there! My splits were 8:58, 8:32, 8:24, 8:29 and 7:56 over the last 0.45 mile.

It's Spring ... supposedly ... so I wore shorts, Zensah socks, the usual two tops, Brooks beanie and light running gloves. I regretted my clothing choices a bit when I ran into the wind. But I got out for a nice run on my "Out by the pier and around" route anyway. My splits were 8:39, 8:44, 8:48, 8:32 and 8:09 over the last 0.55 mile.
