Sunday, 2/8/2026 to Saturday, 2/14/2026 - Freezeroo #5 --- IN PROGRESS

I walked x times this week, x miles

I ran 1 times this week, 2.05 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 2055 day steak (since 6/24/2020 or 5 years, 7 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 2/7). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

It was frigid, windy but sunny! So ... enough walking in the arctic cold ... let's try running! I put on a bit less clothing and got out there before I could change my mind. I got about 5 strides before I wished I had put on my trail shoes. Well ... too late now! I just slowed down a bit and was more careful. The road in the Greenleaf Meadow complex was mostly snow covered and the shoulders of Greenleaf was slushy and snow covered in spots. I took a walk break on the slight hill back on Greenleaf Rd. It really wasn't too bad out if you're dressed correctly. My splits were 9:17 and 9:29.
