Sunday, 9/21/2025 to Saturday, 9/27/2025 - Heritage Hero 5K --- IN PROGRESS

I walked 1 times this week, 1.75 miles.
I ran 1 times this week, 3.5 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. 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. 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 1915 day steak (since 6/24/2020 or 5 years, 3 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 9/20). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

I decided to just run an out and back on my "Out to Dewey Ave". I seem to run this route a bit quick and ... with a bit of tightness in my thighs ... I did. My splits were 8:46, 8:46, 8:38 and 8:10 over the last 0.15 mile. Both my thighs ached all day like I had raced a half marathon. It hurt to get up. It hurt to go down stairs. Ouch!!!

Monday, 9/22/2025
steps, resting/max HR, pounds, floors climbed
Walk: 1.75 miles, 23:59, 13:42 pace, 69/84 avg/max HR, 115/190 avg/max cadence, 63F, 83% RH, 6 mph SSE wind, cloudy
Shoes: blue/green Brooks Glycerin GTS20 - 629.34 miles
My thighs were a bit better so I opted a nice and easy walk (to start) on my "Out to Ling Rd" route. They loosened up a bit so I upped my pace a bit at the turnaround. My splits were 14:00 and 13:17 over the last 0.75 mile.
