Yep, I posted the story to our Facebook group:

Not sure if he is insane or impressive. Probably both 2 -

My HM plan called for a 9.5 mile run this weekend. However, the weather today is yuck and I have a hard time going that far on Sunday's. I have tweaked my plan so I can do the long run (will be my longest ever if I can do it) on the one day next week that it is supposed to be pretty - Thursday. I sure hope the meteorologist knows what they are talking about. If not, I can tweak it again.
You got this!1 -

Seriously. Some places are locking down so you can only run within 2k of your home. Get out there while you still can!

Way to get out there @hanlonsk!0

Today I ventured out to see if it really was the apocalypse out there. Stopped by my office at work in downtown to pick the 1/2 gallon of hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes I forgot to take home with me. The tower was a ghost town. We have motion control lights throughout the building. They were all off meaning it had been a long while since anyone moved through the hallways.
Then I tried to go to a Starbucks, but the only location near my route did not have a drive-through so it was closed.
Then I stopped in a grocery store. My plan was to see how bad it really was. The news would make you think people are shooting each other in the aisles and that there was no food anywhere. Instead what I found was normal people buying normal quantities of food and moving orderly through the checkouts. Most of the shelves were full.
No toilet paper, or any paper plates/bowls/etc. Plenty of tissues, soap, and fresh produce. The meat section was a bit light, but plenty for dozens of families. Dairy, sandwich meats, and the like were fully stocked. Frozen food was a bit light, as were jarred and canned food. But still, plenty to choose from. I did grab pumpkin latte ice cream cause why not?
Everyone was relaxed. A few had masks and gloves, and we all did what we would to stay separated. Far from the apocalypse.
Drove home feeling a bit better knowing I was right about my fellow Americans. Most of us are just doing what we do, and being reasonable. We may have tough times ahead, but we will pull through this too.10 -
I took a few days off last week to just be lazy at home and try to wrap my mind around what is going on in the world. The extra rest must have been really good for my leg because it felt much stronger after several nights of quality sleep. I guess I really did need the extra rest and recovery time.
I’m back to running again this week but a little light in my monthly mileage. This afternoon, I felt strong enough to get out and run 10k. I felt strong and my leg felt 98% uninjured. It felt good to just run through the neighborhood and wave at neighbors from an appropriate social distance.
Our parks are a bit overloaded with more people than usual. So I’m staying away. It seems that defeats the purpose of everything being closed down.
I haven’t met my strength training goals this week but I’ve been including walk aerobics fir the lateral movement which has been great for my hip tightness.8 -

Wow. Not here. No meat, no paper products, no canned goods, the frozen is a bit thin, and the pet food was slim pickings. Plenty of wine on the shelf though...and chips and cookies and this new coke energy. That’s in a town of 5,000 with 2 stores (one Walmart). Sounds like the priority might be the larger cites.
I did get out for a walk today. It was glorious. Then I ate a whole bag of Cheetos.6 -
Got ‘er done - 5k running and 4 walking - and it wasn’t as bad as I anticipated - most things aren’t!
@quilteryoyo I’m in Memphis, in an “interesting” neighborhood, which has changed dramatically since we first moved here, when it was mainly old retired people. We have been shot at multiple times while running! Attacked by escaped dogs from a drug house! A few years ago a young couple got stuffed in a trunk and murdered on the road we run down! We run by a roadside wreath piled with stuffed animals where a child got run over! There is also a bridge and overpass sheltering a large homeless encampment! It’s all very too much and I prefer driving elsewhere to run at the park. But the last time we ran at the park it was so full of people that it was impossible to practice social distancing, I had to pass within a foot of someone on the trails at least a dozen times, and I wasn’t comfortable washing hands in the restroom shoulder to shoulder with other women. So, no more park for the moment.
Very few people were out today either on the road or in front of the houses, which is unusual. One young lady came running out of a house a few blocks from here shouting, “Oh my gosh I can’t believe it’s you, it’s so good to see you!” We smiled and waved as we passed and expressed similar sentiments. I haven’t a clue who she was, or who she thought we were, and my husband didn’t recognize her either. She sounded extremely stoned. Maybe self isolation is getting to her? Anyway it seems we brightened her day.
We did see some wildlife after all - as we passed under the main power lines, there was a Cooper’s hawk which swooped down and flew alongside us. Also, smelled a skunk. I know there are deer up in the woods by the Nonconnah next to the encampment.
The sidewalks around here are criminally bad. I turned an ankle and my legs feel as beat up as if I was running rocky trails. Also nearly busted my rear on a sludge flow in the area where the drainage doesn’t work properly so there is a layer of deathly slick goo over the sidewalks. Tried to run in the road whenever it was safe, but the drivers are literally homicidal so it’s a matter of being alert enough to run and jump back on the sidewalk when you hear a vehicle.
Still, much better than not running.10 -
In case anyone has seen and could do with some extra motivation/accountability/whatever in these strange times of cancelled races and lockdowns, Run The Edge (the company that runs the Run The Year) is doing free virtual challenges throughout April.8

@hanlonsk Sorry you were in a funk for a while. Hopefully the better weather will be help you get out and going again.
@PastorVincent It's good to hear that Pittsburgh is being reasonable with food. It's still not there here yet. I went by the grocery store on Friday to pick up some potatoes for my mom & dad and two elderly neighbors. No potatoes to be had. Bread was all gone too. But, I was surprised to see plenty of eggs and milk. So, it's just certain foods that are being "hoarded" still around here...and the TP, paper products, and sanitizing products. I did go to another store and found potatoes, but they had a limit of 2 bags. I asked if I could get three and explained why. The young girl went to ask and came back and told me "no," that they couldn't do that. The produce manager had followed her back, probably thinking I was going to pitch a fit and she didn't want the young girl to have to deal with that alone. I just said, "Ok. I understand. You don't know if I'm telling the truth or not. So, that's ok." I put the 10 pound bag back I was going to get for mom and dad because they said they still had a few. The produce manager said she was sorry, but she had to put a limit on it because when they restocked that morning some man came by and bought every bag they had, leaving some women standing there wanting one. Again, I told her I understood and explained why I was trying to get three. She looked at me, got the 10 pound bag, and put it in my cart. She said if her mom and dad were alive, she'd be doing the same thing. She said if they gave me any trouble at checkout to tell them that the produce manager okayed it. Sometimes, being nice pays off. It was very sweet of her. I plan to send her a thank you note.
@emmamcgarity Yeah for the great, relatively pain free run!
@rheddmobile I was thinking that you were in Tennessee. When you said you couldn't go to the park to run, I thought it was because they were closed. I had heard that TN was keeping their parks open and encouraging people to get out and about so they aren't going stir crazy. That's why I asked. Bless your heart for running in your neighborhood. I don't think I would be brave enough to do that. Maybe after a couple of weeks those people who normally don't go to the park will get tired of it and it won't be crowded anymore. I'm thankful that I live in a rural area. I can run on the road, but there are no sidewalks, so I have to be careful and not run the roads early or late in the day when visibility isn't good. I'm also thankful that I have a good treadmill and a long driveway I can use if I need to. I hope your ankle is okay.7 -

Same here. I went to the store yesterday for the first time in 8 days. Actually, I went to 3 grocery stores. They were all completely out of the expected things (toilet paper, distilled water but had drinking water - people are stupid and drinking distilled water yet I actually need distilled for my CPAP). The things they had were in short supply. I ended up getting some stuff that was not quite what I would normally eat or buy at a store that was completely out of beef.6 -
Done! We ordered the "I ran it anyway" medals from Virtual Racing UK. They said it was ok for me to get one for my son, too. But he doesn't know about it yet.TheMrWobbly wrote: »Congratulations on your wins @eleanorhawkins and @polskagirl01 and I think you should get medals made 🏅
Congratulations @hamsterwheel6 !!!!
That's quite a challenge @TheMrWobbly and you're doing great!
@rheddmobile it sounds like it truly is not safe to run your neighborhood and not just you making excuses. I get that the parks are full, but maybe there's a nearby town where you can park and run without literally having to run for your life?
I rested yesterday and biked today. Either it was really windy, or I am out of shape. But I did have a folded over buff AND a hat covering my ears and it still felt like the wind was cutting right through. Whatever the reason, it felt a harder than I thought it should've, so I at least feel like I did something today!
Husband has asked for a pumpkin roll... his last trip to the store I asked for cream cheese, thinking of the 5 bagels I had in the freezer. He came back with a 1kg tub of it. He's pretty clever

I don’t understand hoarding water. The municipal supply is fine. I suppose you could rig something up and distill some yourself. Yesterday on the way to the park, I noticed that there was wheat growing on the side of the road, I wonder how long it’ll be before it’s picked.
Oh it just dawned on me how exrra hard this might be for you, with your diet. Dang. Are you able to stay on track?
————————————-
I want to go walk again today. Dh says he’s sore, so I may have to go alone, todays my last spring break do nothing day, that I’ve permitted myself. Well, honestly I need to take a crack at a paper and online pre test study questions, and lab activities, and ATI modules, and, read chapters for next exams... and violin practice. I woke thinking I could buy a keyboard to learn piano, then decided I really wanted a cello. I should dedicate another year to violin before adding another instrument I think... but no promises. Piano can be self taught, right?
This week I learned:
I use too much tp
I really do like being alone
I’m lazy without structure or deadlines
ETA and I really like this plans vs zombies game... hours fly by.
How bout you? Learn anything this week?3 -

I was trying to go more strict. Gave up cheese and pork rinds in Jan., then moved towards beef only. I've been at almost exclusively beef (except to treat hypoglycemia and beverages like coffee) for a few weeks. I had to get other things yesterday, though... got eggs, pork, turkey, and even cheese (gasp!). But I will survive. I am just hoping to be able to have meds delivered and I could theoretically survive at home for awhile.
However, my idea of how I wish I could someday go out miles from another human and live the rest of my life in solitary is based on an assumption that I would spend a lot of time outside to "live off the land." Staying inside juat doesn't work for me. I need to roam and explore. I don't need to see people, but I need the space.5 -
I am still amazed by all the grocery stuff. Especially being like @elise4270 and live in a small town, and the next bigger town over (with the Walmart) is also less than 10K - in theory our rural communities should be fairly well stocked up anyways, and so the run on stuff makes even less sense. I did brave the grocery store Friday, only because, along with FINALLY closing off visitor access, and giving me options to keep employees at home, they say “please sanitize common surfaces twice a day.”
Which is a great idea- but somehow they must assume the people who get paid to “clean” our building, do enough cleaning that we have such supplies? So- the one lonely container of wipey things in our janitor’s closet won’t last long. And I didn’t worry about getting any such things it weeks ago, because I had “enough.” But I have “enough” for a single person who lives alone. So, I actually ended up also going to the hardware store, thinking I could at least maybe find some shop towels to use with spray disinfectants, and have some other options for what I could bring from home into work. But I actually found paper towels, so I consider that a win!
Today was 1.8 miles, colder than yesterday, and I still managed to over dress. But I got out before the predicted precipitation happened. And I only had to dodge 1 person, although said person seemed very intent on talking to me, despite me probably looking like a crazy person at best, and then also swinging off the sidewalk and out into the field to maintain our distance. Ugh.
In other news, some kind person, who is obviously aware that more of us are doing outside things in somewhat questionable conditions, to maintain sanity ..... and who knew the conditions of the sidewalks... did something very random, but totally lovely.
Someone appears to have found some gravel, and spread it very thoroughly on the areas that were still super scary slick from the other days ice storm. And other days snow storms. And a klutz like me, is so very appreciative of this person. And it made me so strangely and immensely happy. Apparently, i am still very easily pleased by the little things.

Back from a 9 mile run. I ran from my house over to our little town, did the 1-mile loop in the park before heading back home. When I hit 9 miles I decided to walk the 1.57 miles up, up, up the ridge to my house. I ran by my parents house so I stood at the door and talked to them for a few minutes and got close enough to my mom to take a bottle of water. They are pretty much staying inside and I don't want to inadvertently carry any germs to them. One farmer stopped to talk to me and shook my hand but he had on gloves so I think we're ok.@quilteryoyo - that's such a heart warming story about the produce manager. Not so much about the guy who bought all in sight earlier!
