Looking back to 2020, the amount of information on COVID-19 has only increased, and it hasn’t always been easy to follow. How do you process what you hear? How do you determine what you can do or not do? An important thing to remember, especially when it comes to your fitness, is that there’s no going back. We have to work with how things are now. 

The fitness environment has changed since last year, including the running atmosphere. Take a few moments to reflect on your family, work, and social life. You had to rearrange your life which my have included that of being a teacher. At the onset COVID-19 was thought of being a pandemic overseas. It was only a matter of time before it reached U.S. soil. As the weeks passed, the freedom of movement was curtailed as health protocols were put into place, which included closing gyms. Now, over a year later, things are finally turning around.
