Stay focused, and enjoy the daily runs. Run with your friends when you can, but please stay safe and keep it all outdoors. You are safer that way.

Enjoy the day. Enjoy the movement.

May I suggest a good book? Try Once a Runner, by John Parker, Jr. It is a cult running book from the 1970s. A great summer read.

Tuesday: warm-up, relaxed 45-50 minute run in the hills, enjoy the day, cooldown.
