Vacation, COVID-19, and a more blog posts

Yes, it has been quite a while since my last blog post.  With a heavy workload and decent but not excellent running level, GITNF has been put on the back burner.  Here are some thoughts after a relatively late night three miler on the home treadmill.

My wife and I are on vacation this week.  We were supposed to travel to New York City to meet up with my daughter for a couple of days, then head up to Niagara Falls with some stops in strategic locals in upstate New York.  However, everything was canceled due to concerns over the COVID-19 virus.  I had some beautiful running courses mapped out, such as Central Park, the Lake Geneva trail, and of course, the Niagara Trail (which would have been my first run on foreign soil).  To say that not being able to run these routes is disappointing is an understatement.  This put me in something of a state of laziness, with a very short run on Sunday and tonights three-miler, both on the home treadmill.

I am somewhat focused on running a half marathon in May, the Horseneck Half Marathon in Westport, MA.  My recent training has put me in line to do a half, and the nine miler that I did on the treadmill gave me plenty of confidence.  It looks like (as usual) most of the work will be done on the treadmill.  Let's see how it goes.
