2020 RunBlogRun Track & Field Training program, Week 16, day three, Wednesday, keep it easy today...

Today is Wednesday, April 15, 2020. Enjoy the run, and keep it relaxed. Enjoy the time outside. Remember, most parks are closed, due to people not following social distancing. This is a physical thing. Now the CDC believes that the bottom of shoes may carry the virus. We suggest that you keep shoes outside on porch. Wash hands after the run too. Stay safe, isolate.
