First walk using the Apple Watch as the tracker instead of the Fitbit (Charge 2). I hope it’s more accurate and reliable than the Fitbit since it cost a lot more. The workout data is transmitted to an app on the iPhone called Fitness. Here’s the data screen:
If you scroll down on the screen, it also give you split times for each mile, heart rate chart, map, and the weather. I walked two laps of the larger neighborhood loop, which was ~1.3 miles. The pace was pretty good at 22’06” or almost three miles per hour. That’s close to my walking rate before the heart surgery and much faster than what I’ve done all this year.
Since it’s already dark outside and no one walks in LA, I didn’t wear a mask, but I also didn’t get anywhere near another person. I probably should have worn a mask though; there was definitely smoke in the air. A couple of times, my nose was burning from breathing in the air, even though the Apple Watch showed an AQI of 42.
In addition, I haven’t napped all day, even though it’s dialysis day. I’m not supposed to work that much today but there were several conference calls and a 1:1 meeting with my boss. I’m trying to hold out and not nap until tonight so I can try to get back to a regular schedule. I also have cell group tonight. Due to the fire, we’re probably meeting on Zoom instead of in-person outdoors. Need to try and stay awake through that as well.
