Got out for a couple of miles today in spite of battling a sudden virus that crept up on me. Down for the count lately and the first time I have felt like even crawling out of bed let alone run..  

Pretty much spent the day going through some parts bins related to that other hobby of mine. How did I accumulate so much stuff?  I think I could open a small museum right now with all of the old tube radios I have restored. It's been fun but it's time to let some things go in the interest of space and domestic tranquility.  Where to start though? Hmmm..

Easy 10 miles this morning. Went south today instead of the usual east-west out and back trajectory. Still getting over a nasty virus and the heart rate on my Garmin showed it. Stop and walk for a bit I guess..  Thats ok because it's good to slow down every now and then and just take in the scenery.

Easy 4.5 miles at 7-8/min pace. Really love the Nike marathon shoe I got recently but definitely not a piece of winter gear. Sliding down a hill and just narrowly missing the trees. Almost fell on my butt!  Went home and had some home made pasta salad while finishing up watching The Irishman.

Really wanted to do something longer but I didn't think it would be wise. Longer and more intense runs really compromise the immune system. Especiallly at my age and forward. I can't afford that as I work at a hospital which will be on the front line very soon.. I'm needed there right now. That being said I am confident that we will pull through. We just need to use common sense and stay in touch with those people who are vulnerable and can't get out.

Easy 10.3 miles today. Kind of worried about some things lately. Mainly in our agricultral supply chain and some of the disruptions that are happening now. For example, I was reading where potato farmers in the Northwest are having a difficult time in getting the remainder of their crop to market. About 70 percent of the crop is exported with the remaining sent to processors who distribute to restaurants and schools. About a billion pounds total..

This could be the time our nation finally confronts the obesity epidemic?

I doubt it. Wasting food is the biggest problem.

Easy 7 miles today. I learned something today.. During this time we can not expect perfection from people.  Be patient and know everyone is doing their best that they can do.

AM-7 miles with 6x30 sec on/off speed changes. Really bummed out about this years race cancellations. Not like I ever do race.. But I always tell myself this year I'm going to get serious. The funny thing is that maybe it will be this year afterall. Even in the midst of all this chaos.

PM-Easy 5 miles total this afternooon.

Easy to steady state 10 mile run. The heat really got to me today but working night shifts does not give me the chance to run earlier unfortunately.  It was a time to break away and forget about the madness that has been happening here.

Easy 4 miles today. Its been tough getting the muster to keep moving forward lately. One of my best friends committed suicide. Still trying to process it..  He was there from the very beginning in grade school to adulthood. He took life by the horns. Even to the point of getting into a pickup game at the old Deseret Gym with the Utah Jazz.  I miss him..

Steve:

Sorry to hear about it.

Would you like to join us for a run some time? This Saturday at 7:00 AM (meet at our house) we will be doing a family 5 K with friends invited down the Provo Canyon. You are welcome to join.

From Jason D on Mon, Jul 06, 2020 at 07:58:43 from 73.144.88.57
