Plan?
Coach gave me plan for 60 miles which is super helpful (2x doubles). Following that, I'll have 7-day total of 70 miles on Saturday. I will add in extra to try to hit ~70 for Mon-Sun if I feel ok. I've been running around 35-45 mpw for last 4 months so I think hitting 70 is a worthy but not incredibly stupid goal.

My marathon got repostponed.
Damaris
Starting May 1st in my county: anyone leaving their house must wear a face covering whenever you are within six-feet of a non-household member. Fine is up to $1000 or 6 months jail.
Sigh. I run almost entirely on routes where I pass no one. Or it'll average 1-2 people per mile and I run out into the street so like 15 ft away. But I think I need to start carrying a mask so I don't have people yelling at me.
3 flat, mostly elevated... that’s all the legs had.
The good news is I found that they have paved a little section of the cross county trail only about 3 miles form my house. The section is only .6 mi long but that’s fine for my shorter workouts. Finding flat, paved, no-tilt is hard to come by here... I also saw no evidence that it floods there.
Lock & Load!
In theory, that shouldn't happen. Or am I missing some unique situation?
Agree with LRB. Bring a buff on you pocket or bra and only put it on on those rare times. That’s what I do.
Basically it is now required (not just suggested) that everyone wear a mask when you leave the home and are close to others. I can already tell by conversations on NextDoor that people will go crazy if they see me running without one, even if I'm a half mile from another person.
Yeah, I just ordered a few online. If the buff is soaking wet, can you still breathe through it?
I was just thinking this. I could see at a crowded store though
I cut up a strip of an old t-shirt that I can tie around my face if needed. Basically it's in case I need to use a public bathroom.
I ordered buffs for when I actually go out
I was concerned about something similar when this all went down, so I empathize with you.
Sometimes briefly for a millisecond here and there yes. We are under orders to wear masks in all interior spaces now, although because of politics, some people aren't abiding by it.

If it’s a pull, don’t stretch it!
Wish I could afford to find out... ugh... with a possible injury meaning weeks of no running, the only thing that could make me feel better is closed until further notice ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
I'm slowly becoming a depressing basket case... and this beautiful day sure doesn't help!!!!😫😫😫
