Well here it is another day of both self isolation and social distancing. It isn't that hard to keep the social distancing when you stay inside. When I do get out for a run it still isn't hard to keep apart. Usually the other people are walking in the opposite direction of me so passing each other is done quite quickly. So far the only other runners that I have seen are, like the walkers, going in the opposite direction. Although the other day I did see a pair on the opposite sidewalk to be going in the same direction.
Our premier has now set the number of people in a group as five, except for a family or those isolating together. I also heard on the noon news today that social distancing has cut the number of person to person contacts in half - so it seems to be working.
I didn't get out for a run yesterday or today because it has been cold and raining. I have turned into a fair weather runner. :-(
Just had an email notification that the Tamarack Race Weekend in May has been cancelled. I had signed up for another 5K race. The committee is trying to think of something else to do over the weekend. One thing is there will be no monetary return because most of that money has already been spent or committed. Apparently we will still be getting a t-shirt and medal. I am planning on doing something that Saturday. One thing that will be missing is the Ottawa Hash House Harriers water station at the 36K mark. Will be missing out on a reason to get dressed up in my red dress.
