AM - day 2 (.5)? of COVID - ran easy 2 miles to keep the streak going.    Felt worse as the day progressed yesterday and no better this morning.  Hoping for improvement today.

AM - beginning day 3 of COVID - no fever for the last 12 hours - which is an improvement.  2 miles on the trail.  Felt ok - but kept the effort easy - feeling like if I pushed at all, I may start feeling bad.

AM - got up feeling reasonably improved - still fatigued and congested a bit - but well enough to go an extra mile this morning.   Hopefully the gradual trend back to normal will continue.
