I ran 6 times this week, 21.51 miles.
I took 51,671 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 that I ignore. My PCP said that since there is no pain to just watch it. He thinks that it may be that the leg muscle is outside of the ligaments that should surround it (which make it puffy looking).

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 1950 day steak (since 6/24/2020 or 5 years, 4 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 10/25). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

I slept in a bit too much so I couldn't get out before work. Then work ... was work. I couldn't get out until 6 PM which is just before sunset. So ... I pushed it a bit on my "Out to Dewey Ave" route to get back before it got a bit too dark for running without my Noxgear Tracer2 vest. My splits were 8:27, 8:37, 8:38 and 8:10 over the last 0.15 mile.

I slept in a bit and got out around 8:30 AM. It wasn't raining as hard by then. It was a walk day after 4 run days. I wore my old CW-X tights, shorts, a long sleeve tech, a running jacket, light running gloves and my Brooks beanie ... so ... I was able to chuckle at the weather. My splits were 12:45 and 12:55 over the last 0.85 mile.

I slept in a bit but I still got out and back just before 8 AM. I ran my usual "Out to Dewey Ave" route because it's a simple on and back plus it keeps me off of Greenleaf Rd. It gets a bit busy around 8 AM with everyone rushing off to work. My splits were 8:43, 8:45, 8:39 and 8:08 over the last 0.15 mile.
It's the end of the month so it's stat time!

I took 20 runs in October for 69.24 miles, 3.46 miles/run and 176 runs so far in 2025 for 602 miles, 3.42 miles run.
I didn't run any race in October (sadly) and have run 15 races so far in 2025.
I took 216,478 steps in October and 2,232,255 steps so far in 2025.
