My dad tested positive :( I've been having a few minor symptoms including a scratchy throat, weird taste/smell (it's mostly gone now), runny nose and feeling really tired. I suppose it was only a matter of time before it came to my family. Now I'll have to quarantine so no running for idk how long. I'll try to do some strength exercises maybe, idk.

My mom now has it. She had body aches through the night. My mom, Hattie and I are going to get tested tomorrow morning.

Got out for a run this morning. I felt tired.

I switched up my route which I should probably do more often (my watch was dead so I mapped it out once I got home to get the distance). Went up to Foothill then cut across to 9th S and down to the East High track. Then did a 400. My legs felt heavy. I used my phone to get the time, it was 85. Then ran back home.

My dad went to the doctor today because he's been having trouble breathing. He says he's okay now though. The doctor said his vitals look good, especially for a COVID patient. My mom reports burning in her chest and ushered me out of their room so that I don't catch it, especially because of my asthma. My mom, sister and I got tested this morning. We'll get those results in 24-36 hours. My guess is I'll be negative. But we'll see. 

Didn't feel great on the run today. I just did an out and back.

All 3 of us tested negative, but we think my mom's test was a false negative. My mom talked to my uncle who is a doctor and he said there's no way she doesn't have it, she's been sleeping in the same bed and is showing major symptoms. Mine and Hattie's were probably accurate. Both of us are showing minor symptoms (I have a stuffy nose and Hattie feels exhausted) but other than that we're fine, so maybe a cold? Allergies? Idk. Also I randomly got pink eye which isn't a symptom but it's annoying haha

So, all in all kind of what we expected. Not sure what the likelihood of me not getting it is, but I hope that I don't.

I also had therapy today (via zoom) and we did a re-evaluation of PTSD and mood disorder symptoms. I no longer have PTSD! I didn't know that they could cure PTSD through therapy, but apparently you can :) I'm really happy about that. Also my levels were consistent with a mood disorder so that's expected lol. I was like one point away from eating disorder but I can attest I no longer have one. I'm getting in 3 meals a day (I've been tracking it along with my mood for the past 2 months).

Today I started as if to do VA loop then cut down Sunnyside to the East High track. Did a couple strides and stretched before starting the 400. Right before I had the thought, "let's try to break 80." I wasn't confident I would, but I did! I ran a 79. It definitely felt all out so that's all I can do right now, but I was happy with it. Then ran back home. 

I find it really lucky I haven't got COVID yet. But I've been taking measures to stay away from it, like staying in my room all day. Which is kinda boring but worth it if it means I don't get it. Also taking vitamin C, vitamin D, and some other pill my mom said helps I just forgot what it is lol. Zinc? I think that's it. I'm going to add some of the ones Sasha suggested too

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hattie wanted to run with me today. We did the 1700 S loop (1.65 miles). Our first mile was 7:15. Once we got back home I added on 1900 E to 4 miles.
