I guess it just feels like this virus has taken the freedom I felt with running, so I have been doing mostly elliptical.

Isn't that weird? The only thing that has changed about my running now is that I do more of it since the shutdown. I can't go to the gym to do Body Pump or swim, so I might as well run. We have been doing a lot of trail running lately. It is such a pretty time to be out in the woods. Stay safe!

I'm finding it really stressful and only go in the morning. I can see from my window and people are running right be each other. I'm really worried about what happens when the weather is nicer. Tons of people were out and really close together when it was nice earlier this week. I don't have a treadmill but I've been doing online workouts at home. I miss my running friends and our time together.

Some of my favorite running places have been shut down but the forest preserves are still open, thank goodness! I go really early to avoid the crowds. I've been running some virtual races, which has taken on new meaning from the virtual races of the past. Trying to make the best of things.

I just feel at this time it's actually better not to drive somewhere -- I know the park where I often ran has been very crowded (although they closed it to cars, so you have to know the outside the park parking lot -- which is tiny).<br /><br />Anyhoo ... I've been here before. When Chester was really ill and I didn't want to add the extra time that driving takes. It's boring, but hopefully it's safe. The long runs are hard ... cause, yeah, my neighborhood is relatively hilly if you want to get in more than a few miles.<br /><br />I don't wear a mask while out running or walking the dogs.Hopefully I'm doing the right thing.Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096124660145481881noreply@blogger.com
