Love2Run

I haven't been running the last few days. My best friend's mother came down with the COVID-19 virus. Neither my friend nor her father have shown any symptoms of it, but because I have had contact with my friend, I may have been exposed, so I am in self-imposed quarantine for 14 days. The number of cases has been very low here in Japan, but in the last couple of weeks the number has really been increasing drastically. My church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is having a day of fasting and prayer on Friday, April 10. We will be praying that this situation improves. It does not matter what religion your are, I invite everyone reading my blog to join in with us in prayer on that day.

It has been a boring day at home.  I was supposd to start an internship with a company this week, but that has been put on hold indefinitely.

I have been planning to run a half marathon in November of this year if it does not get cancelled.  I got the training log of Hitomi Nimiya today.  She has the fastest women's half marathon time of any woman born outside of Africa and also has the Japanese national record.  I am thinking of trying to adapt her training to my own training.  I am getting excited to be able to go outside and run again.
