Sunday, 7/5/2026 to Saturday, 7/11/2026 --- IN PROGRESS

I walked x times this week, x miles
I ran 1 times this week, 3.15 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 makes it puffy looking).

Walk/Run electronics: I use my Garmin Venu for runs and walks. I listen to my TechNet bone conduction headphones, link here.
.
BTW, I am on a 2202-day steak (since 6/24/2020 or 6 years) of either a walk, run or bike of greater than 1 mile (as of Saturday night, 7/4). There were more than a few days when a mile was all I could walk or limp.

I got out for a simple out and back on my "Out to Dewey Ave". I wanted to run a bit faster than yesterday's Brighton 5K. I set up a nice and easy that I thought that I could hold. Well ... I did on the out and then lapsed into a run/walk on the way back. I could have sworn that I ran faster than yesterday ... and it was ... by a second, lol! I was dripping with sweat when I got back. My splits were 9:06, 9:48, 10:14 and 9:53 over the last 0.15 mile.
An update on being retired ... my wife woke up before I did. I heard her reading her audiobook at 8:46 AM. So ... sleeping in is a thing!
