AM - late start - 3.25 miles with Finn. I had to help Delaney pack-up her car as she's heading back to Philly - called back from her Covid furlough. She was with us for 3 months - really enjoyed her company (and her incredible cooking and baking). Each of us wondering in these uncertain times if there will be a second wave or surge that will shut things down again.
Read a long form essay from Devin Kelly by way of a link from Mario Faioli's Morning Shakeout called "What I Want to Know of Kindness".
"The beauty of running with people for a long time is that there is no secret about the ways you hold each other accountable. Some people spend their whole lives trying to figure out if their friends are really their friends. When you run with someone long enough, you know what it’s like to share in their suffering, albeit physical, albeit for a moment. It transcends language. It is like sharing a singular, collective, beating heart. "

PM - 5 miles on the treadmill after work
