Running During COVID-19 Survey Results
Below is a link to the Running During COVID-19 Survey Results. We have mostly kept running. [Hurray!]. We are mostly solitary, outdoors runners. We are mostly self motivated but a good percentage could use some help with motivation. Over 50% do not want to train or race with a mask.
Running in the spring...with the risk of COVID-19
For the past several weeks, running outside has been very enjoyable. The snow and ice is gone. They bugs are still not out (for the most part). I haven’t needed to run with anything more than 1 layer of clothing without feeling over heated or cold. It’s a great time of year to run when it isn’t raining. :) Well, the trails are quite wet and dirt roads are muddy but running on paved country roads is close to perfect.
I am starting to reflect fondly on the training runs and races I have done with others. The long “Bagel Mill” runs on Sunday seem long ago. I am also missing the social life, seeing runners at chillers and local MAGP races. Personally, I hope the summer racing season will be able to start but it is not clear when that will be possible. More than ever before, I enjoy and need to run because it helps my head. All the uncertainty of the world can be troubling and running is a way to re-connect with basic joys: clean air, deep breathing and the beautiful Monadnock Region.
