Early start for me this morning. I went to the supermarket and pushed yo possibly the last major things that I’ll need for a few weeks. Hopefully other things needed will be minor or can hold off until further down the line.

Typically I’d pull out my running attire the night before a race – this one was a virtual. Some might view that ruined ritual as a sad moment; I elected to look at it as a moment to slow things down a bit.

Running without spectators is both a good and sad thing. It’s amazing to have that support pushing you on. I learned how to be my own cheerleader before I ever toed the line. Some days are harder than others to lace up but I always feel accomplished.

I called a local bike shop to get a trainer tire for my bike. My work ethic doesn’t stop because the world’s on stand still from COVID-19. I mapped a longer route to allow me to do 5K this afternoon and make a quick stop in to support @fulton_bikes.

I took my time and even opted to speed walk the last mile. I wish I could reward myself with some bubble tea right now but that restaurant isn’t open at the moment; iced coffee will do.

As I sit on the steps of my home, I’m grateful that I’m able to make things work, even if I have to modify my plans. Heading inside to knock out a long bike ride. Making tomorrow my dedicated day off. If you don’t see a rainbow in all of this smog, create your own.

Today’s Workout:

Run/ Walk: 5K with @runsheisbeautiful
Cycling: In Progress with a 20 Mile goal
