I am out of shape. I was huffing and puffing, like a middle aged man. Had to walk a couple times. Not a great day, a little unfocused, but at least I'm not depressed.

Social distancing is hard. Some are with the program, others entirely not.

Ran at a comfortable distance past a guy taking out dandelions with a hand sprayer. I hope I did not receive virus from him, but I sure got a mouthful of weed killer.
