I ran 2 times this week, 7.61 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.
WALKING/RUNNING: I have a swollen right knee. So ... I am doing a lot more walks than runs. 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 1880 day steak (since 6/24/2020 or 5 years, 1 month) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 8/16). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

I got out for a very brisk walk on my usual "Out to Ling Rd" route. I worked up a bit of a sweat. My splits were 13:00 and 12:23 over the last 0.75 mile. Why very brisk? Well ... we had run out of cat food and Nebula was meowing and giving me the side eye when I woke up. So ... it was out to Wegmans for more Purina dry cat food.

I slept in a bit longer so I couldn't get out for any exercise before work. A Ricoh IM C4500 printer at L3Harris went down so I was called into work earlier than usual. It had a jam in R1-R2 area that I couldn't find so I swapped it out with my spare printer.
I got out for a walk on my "Around B601" route during lunch. The wind was a bit chilly for middle of August, lol. My splits were 12:54 and 12:32 over the last 0.25 mile.

I got up earlier than usual (for the past month or so) for a nice run on my "Out by the pier and around" route. A guy with a dog in the Ontario Beach Park recognized me as I ran by and remarked "Pretty soon you'll have on your neon vest!". I said "I will!" My splits were 9:28, 9:08, 9:09, 9:03 and 8:32 over the last 0.46 mile.

It had rained overnight and there was still a very slight mist to the air when I stepped out for another run on my "Out to the Secret Sidewalk" route. I held my nice and easy pace for the entire way and was rewarded with negative splits of 9:15, 9:09, 8:55 and 8:16 over the last 0.15 mile.
