I ran 2 times this week, 7.30 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 (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 1705 day steak (4 years, 8 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 2/22). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

I got for a nice recovery run the day after Freezeroo #6. My right Achilles heel was a bit tight for 1/2 mile or so but it loosened up. I just kept a nice pace for an out and back on my new "Out to Lake Ave" route. My splits were 9:04, 8:40, 8:46, 8:39 and 8:13 over the last 0.15 mile.

I woke up at 5:20 AM with a really bad sore throat so I went back to sleep and bagged my run or walk. My darling wife, Christine, told me that I snored and peeled a lot of paint last night. It really warmed up durng the day. I could have worn shorts on my walk on my "Out to Ling Rd" route. My splits were 13:23 and 13:35 over the last 0.65 mile.

I couldn't sleep right away due to phlegm running down the back of my throat so ... I didn't get to sleep until after midnight. I bagged my walk in the morning and got out for a brisk walk after work on my usual "Out to Ling Rd" route. My splits were 13:07 and 12:35 over the last 0.65 mile.

I slept better but I was still coughing when I woke up at 5 AM so I bagged my walk. I felt better in the afternoon so I got out for ... a ... run. It was around 40F so I just put on my tights, my Brooks 1/4 zip long sleeve pullover, my Brooks beanie and light running gloves. I started out slow and easy. I sped up bit by bit as I loosened up. It turned out to be a good run! My splits were 9:11. 8:59, 8:31 and 7:46 over the last 0.15 mile.
