I didn't run this week (not medically cleared to run)
I took 37,108 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 had another Rheumatology appointment to look at my swollen right knee on 10/12. The doc put me on xxx along with a daily folic acid pill to try to reduce my swollen right knee as well as maybe reduce my psorasis on my elbows. Also ... an update as of Tuesday, 9/22/26 on my health due a general decline in fitness (a 5K of 9:15 on 7/19 to getting winded going upstairs in 2 months) along with a cough for about 3 months or longer. I had an overnight stay at the Unity Health Hospital with blood tests, a chest X-ray, EKG, CAT scan and an ultrasound of my legs. So ... I have a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in my left leg and a bilateral chest embolism (clots). I will be on Eliquis to reduce the blood clots probably at least the next 6 months along with NO running until medically cleared. I felt better on Eliquis in about 3 days.

Walk/Run electronics: I use my Garmin Venu for runs and walks. I listen to my TechNet bone conduction headphones, link here.

BTW, I was on a 2281-day steak (since 6/24/2020 or 6 years, almost 4 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile until 6/21/2026. A hospital stay on 9/22/2026 kept me in. So ... I began another streak as of 10/23/2026.
