Hello 1.1.2021

Covid-19 “The Rona Era”

Finally the First A..M Run of 2021!! It’s finally here. This same time last year I was running a 1st year race in Lowell Massachusetts. I had knee pain but I was going to run to get ready for my final four states. Oh that was so last year. This year, there was no race, I ran 5.14 miles along the Mystic River in Somerville and Medford , Massachusetts. It was 27 degrees out and I had on my gaiter to cover my nose and mouth. Ironically my knee feels fine, now I had to deal with breast cancer.

This morning, I felt good and strong. It was nice to see that my stalkers will continue to stalk me in 2021. The task from 2020 are not done in 2021. Black lives still matter, the names of Breonna Taylor and others have to be said, endurance and perseverance will happen, and there is happiness and smiles to will come through.

Part of the morning run was to celebrate survival and get ready for the year ahead. My pace was good this morning and I didn’t have any knee pain. I started running at 8:22a.m. as I came to the end of my route I did see more people(3) running, couples walking hand and hand and a family walking with their baby in a stroller.

Perhaps because it is a new year, I air seemed a bit fresher and the sky was very blue. This was a good first run for 2021
