I ran 2 times this week, 6.30 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. 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 1999 day steak (since 6/24/2020 or 5 years, 5 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 12/13). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

Yes ... it was cold, windy and snowing ... but I wanted to run. So ... I dressed very warmly ... put on my trail shoes and headed out at a really nice and easy pace on my "Out to Dewey Ave" route. The LOSP Trail was snow covered and icy. My trail shoes helped but I still slipped a bit if I pushed out much. The W wind was enough to take my breath away. I had my sunglasses on during the way out to get the snow out of my eyes but I couldn't see my footing. I took them off on the way back and had my luck with my footing. My splits were 9:48, 9:59, 9:31 and 9:21 over the last 0.15 mile.

I woke up at 5:14 and 5:34 AM, got my butt out of bed at 6:22 AM ... and got my butt dressed and out the door around 6:40 AM to RUN! There was another 1/2 inch of snow on the ground so I chose my "Out to the Stutson St Overlook" route that kept me off the street (for the most part). I took a tiny walk break at the top the River St. My splits were 9:31, 9:27, 9:19 and 9:16 over the last 0.15 mile.

I woke at 4:19 AM ... and fucking couldn't go back to sleep! I think I need an eye mask to get the light out of my bedroom. The floodlight from the wall of Greenleaf Meadows reflects off the snow and into my north-facing bedroom window. Anyway ... I will be cranky all day. Double anyway ... I got out for a slow walk on my "Out to Latta Rd" route. I dressed warmly so I got by. My splits were 16:08 and 16:03 over the last 0.45 mile.
