9.2 Miles


Just trudging along.  Emotionally still drained from the last few days, so not much to report there.

Ran 9.2 miles this morning (14.5km).  I surprisingly did not feel particularly tired from my 1/2 marathon the day before.

I "Covided Up" with mask, gloves, etc. at 7:30am, and went to the U to check on my labs and organisms.  Even though my hands-on research is in a holding pattern due to Covid-19, I do need to check the creatures and make sure there ample food and supplies.  I have been doing some additional writing, and some planning for the best directions to restart the research strands when that someday becomes possible again.  Did not see a soul there, which was good, but also spooky feeling as I traipsed down the long corridors and halls to my labs.  I listened to NPR while I worked.

After a very long shipping delay, the used copy of "End of the World Running Club" has finally arrived and after also having spend two days in the garage (our postal hub is in an area that is still one of the highest Covid-19 sites nationally) to "marinate", I have now gotten the book ready to begin reading tonight.  This was a book recommended by my friend, Ol' Buzzard.  I am looking forward to starting to delve into the story.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
