What a crazy month. We are all dealing with the new paradigm, changing lifestyles and expanded vocabulary. Social distancing to “flatten the curve.” It goes beyond the fears of a disease we simply don’t understand. Many are dealing with job loss, reduced hours, challenging financial conditions, and simply making ends meet.

Time sure goes by fast. We’ve been at this for pretty much a month now. Estimates of when it will all end seem to only be expanding. Settle in, we could be at this for a while.

As runners and athletes, our races are being canceled and training is often challenging. How does a triathlete practice swimming when there are no open pools?

It’s time to take a breath and self-assess. How have you been doing? What habits have you developed? What challenges are you facing? How can you make things better… or at least more efficient? Let’s be patient with one another during this time. Stay disciplined. Stay focused. Help one another. We are going to get through this.
