I ran 4 times this week, 15.0 miles.
I took 53,138 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 1740 day steak (4 years, 9 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 3/29). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

Well ... it's Spring ... so I wore shorts and the usual running gear for a run around 40F. It's my way of saying ... "Hey, warm up already!". I needed 3.29 miles to get over 100 miles for March so I headed out on my "Out to Dewey Ave and around" route. I set up my usual nice and easy pace like many times before ... boom ... done! My splits were 8:45, 8:34, 8:38, 8:31 and 8:17 over the last 0.35 mile.

I took a 1/2 day off from Ricoh since I still have vacation to take before April 1st. It had warmed up overnight to around 63 but it had turned windy and it was already going back down by the time I got home. I got out in my shorts and a long sleeve tech for a windy run on my "Out by the pier and around" route. The wind was a bit difficult to run into ... trust me. I did walk a bit when it was a bit fierce in my face. My splits were 8:53, 8:36, 8:43, 9:33 and 8:18 over the last 0.45 mile.
It's the end of March so it's stat time!
I took 6 walks in March for 10 miles, 1.67 miles/walk and 30 walks in 2025 so far for 46.64 miles, 1.55 miles/walk.
I took 26 runs in March for 105.51 miles, 4.06 miles/run and 70 runs in 2025 so far for 264.01 miles, 3.77 miles/run
I ran 1 race in March.

It cooled down 23F so it was back to tights, 3 shirts, Brooks beanie and mittens for this walk on my usual "Out to Ling Rd" route. Why a walk? Well ... my right knee and right Achilles heel were a bit cranky. They both warmed up a bit but probably appreciated just a walk today. My splits were 14:01 and 13:29 over the last 0.65 mile.

I didn't sleep well so I really tried to go back to sleep after my Alexa alarm kicked up awake at 5:20 AM. I abandoned the thought of sleep at 5:45 AM and just lied in bed until about 6:45 AM ... but I knew that I would feel bad all day if I didn't get out and DO something. My right knee was a bit cranky and I thought about a walk ... but it was cold and I knew it would be a cold walk. So ... I told my right knee to suck it up and headed off at a really nice and easy pace on my "Out to Clematis St" route. My body knew to just "get it done" ... so I did. My splits were 9:12, 8:55, 8:42 and 7:55 over the last 0.15 mile.

I wasn't motivated at all despite the warm up overnight to the mid 50s. My right knee was a bit cranky when I did emerge around 8:15 so I just did a rather achy walk on my "Out to Ling Rd" route. It was a bit windy. There is a lot of litter on the side of Greenleaf Rd towards the Lake Shore Country Club. My splits were 14:47 and 14:08 over the last 0.65 mile.

I don't know what is the matter with my right knee! It ached again this morning and I knew that a run would be most unwise. So ... I walked with a slight limp for about 1/2 mile before it loosened up. It's kind of frustrating! AARRGGHH! Anyway ... my splits were 16:33 and 15:21 over the last 0.65 mile.
Oh ... I saw a nice car at BJs ... it had bumper stickers that said "Not my President", I'm Anit-Trump because I'm Anti-Stupid" and "Trump is a Piece of Shit". Nice! Exactly my opinion!!!

Today was interesting. My right knee was a bit achy so I started out with a walk out to Ling Rd. Then ... I decided that my right knee was warmed up enough to run. I intended just to run back home but ... I kept going on running the Greenleaf Meadows loop ... once, twice and thrice times. I ended up with 3.75 miles. I used Garmin Connect to find that I walked 0.7 mile in 10:15 and then trimmed the rest and set it to a run of 3.05 miles. My splits were 9:56, 9:47 and 9:04.
