we were supposed to go to Northern Michigan ("Up North") on Sunday but DW  wasn't comfortable with the whole thing. We were going to stay at a hotel with a full kitchen, balcony and really wouldn't have had much contact with anyone if we so chose. But, can't really blame her and no fun going if she would be nervous the whole time. So, instead took today off and will take a few more Monday's or Fridays this month.

 

Yeah the rest of my family is pretty uncomfortable about going anywhere. So looks like we won’t. DW has talked about renting an RV to avoid hotels etc. I do not want to drive a fucking RV. 

And hey, all you people dealing with the crazy hot weather - when does it get hot enough to kill the ‘rona?

I've driven an RV, a couple actually. It's about as simple as driving a Chevy suburban to be honest with you. I had no trouble at all and you wouldn't either after all of your years driving on I-696.

yeah, funny how summer weather was going to kill the virus while we waited for a fall surge...

Well I wouldn’t want to drive a Suburban either. Although I did have a Ford Expedition for a while as a company car. Which I also did not like. Incidentally I saw an article about all the shit that novice RV drivers run into. Gonna save that for the next time DW brings it up. 

And yeah I spent plenty of time on 696 but the main thing I remember was when there was no traffic, going 85 and being passed like I was standing still.

Today looks like a rest day for me, ending my "streak" at 37 days and 299.9 miles.

 

I never know or plan when to take the stupid things, they just happen organically. I wasn't in the mood to head out for a run this morning and the thought of what onemile suggested yesterday appealed to me, so that's what I did, even though it wasn't directed at me: "you could always just sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and some quiet"

Kept things going myself. Smell finally dissipated and I got in 5 miles.

 I keep hearing people talking about returning to normal and I just don't know that it's going to happen anytime soon...

The farther along we get on this journey, the more I agree with you. Back in March, I thought for sure the Mesa-Phx HM would be a go in Feb 2021. Now I'm wondering.

The more idiotic people behave, the longer before we can do a race and before we can travel to Europe. I was hoping Spring 2021 was good but now I wonder as well if we will race in 2021 at this pace.
