But what a genius move it turned out to be, to squeeze in a marathon in January

who would have thought that'd be the only chance for marathoning this year?

Absolutely no one. Better to be lucky than good.

My first pot of coffee lacked water, let's try this again...

My trick, which I do every 4-5weeks is to pour the water into the coffee maker but then not properly seat the pot on the burner... so I have coffee flood at 5 in the morning😡

6.5 combined, 4 easy on dirt with bumps this morning then 2.5 on flat mostly paved, mostly elevated just now.

Glad to hear from you, Blue. Are you still able to run outside as much as you'd like?

 

Pretty much -- my routes are weird and repetitive because I'm staying away from the jammed park out of fear of bringing something back to my parents, which is super annoying because a lot of times I don't want to stop for traffic and now I have no choice. There's not as much traffic as usual, though, so I guess that's good. I ran over a couple of bridges yesterday and won't be doing that again; I'd rather just move the requisite distance from people than keep touching my face to cover my nose and mouth when the only place to go to get away from others is jumping off the bridge. (A not-unappealing option at the moment, I must admit.)

At least I didn't have to deal with a taper! That would NOT have been good. My mileage was reduced the past couple of weeks anyway because of Passover, as if that wasn't enough of a disaster, but otherwise ... I am so beyond thankful I have an AlterG. Having motivation to run isn't a problem at all for me; I can't manage without it. I just can't run very fast, is all. But I'm far too appreciative that I can run in the first place to worry overly much about speed, or lack thereof.

Honestly, I'm pretty skeptical Boston will be happening in September. Or even NYCM.

I use a Keurig, so relatively idiot-proof. Pro tip: make sure to put a cup underneath. Although the base can capture approximately one cup of liquid. Ask an idiot how he knows. 

7 miles which did not transfer to RA.

Yeap. I think we will cheer all race long to whoever gets to marathon in 2020.

You can tell it's Spring here again because my throat is sore and swollen. Of course, I had to check my temp because I sneeze, cough, or whatever and I'm like Rona, is that you?

We are almost at 12K cases here today. Sigh.

Just ended a Zoom meeting thingy. Looks like we'll be back to work on May 4th. Staggered start times, filling out a daily health screen, taking your temperature before and during your shift and the wearing of masks are just some of the things that await us. Yipee.
