In this time of a global health crisis, there is little that we can control. Our daily runs or walks give us some solace, some time for reflection, and some time to enjoy some exertion and some sweat.
Enjoy the run, enjoy the stride-outs, most of all, be grateful that you are alive and that you have friends and family.
