2020 RunBlogRun Track & Field Training program, Week 18, day three, Wednesday, an easy day...

Today is Wednesday, at the end of April. It is an easy day to run, and gets some stride outs.

The run is easy and the stride outs gets the rust out. Enjoy the sense of speed. Enjoy the movement. Please keep the social distancing. In the US, we are getting 30,000 new cases of COVID-19 a day in the U.S. This is not a joke, and anyone can get the virus. Please be careful.
