I ran x times this week, x 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 2034 day steak (since 6/24/2020 or 5 years, 6 months) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 1/17). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

I got out for another "Another mile" route. I put on my trail shoes as I expected some ice on the LOSP Trail. But there wasn't practically any. I started out slow and slowly built up a bit of pace. My splits were 15:00 and 14:43 over the last 0.40 mile.

steps, resting/max HR, floors climbed
Shoes: white Brooks Glycerin GTS21 - 249.31 miles
Walk: 1.1 miles, 15:40, 14:45 pace, 80/103 avg/max HR, 107/135 avg/max cadence
I slept in ... yet again. It was cold, chilly, a bit snowy, a bit slippery and breezy with a wind chill of 10F. So ... I just walked around B601 as I checked on the 3 plotters that I check on. So ... my 15:40 elapsed and 14:45 pace is an estimate. Whatever ... I just didn't feel like I wanted to freeze my face off.

steps, resting/max HR, floors climbed
Walk: 1.05 mile, 13:22, 12:44 pace, 102/134 avg/max HR, 123/148 avg/max cadence, 14F, 52% RH, 23 mph W wind, wind chill -4F, partly cloudy
Shoes: white Brooks Glycerin GTS21 - 250.36 miles
It was cold and dark so I slept in ... yet again. It was even colder, windier than yesterday. But the footing was good so I took a very brisk walk on a short as possible "Around B601" route. Why very brisk and as short as possible? Well ... that wind was very cold!!! Brr!!!
