I finally ventured out of my basement and rejoined my family on April 6. It felt like so much time had passed. Three days later, on April 9, my son and I went on a run, my first one back. We did two miles at 12:00 pace, and it was the hardest two miles I’ve ever done. Usually, that’s a pace at which I can carry a conversation, but that wasn’t the case for this run.
I was exhausted, both because of my weakened lungs and because I hadn’t moved in about three weeks. My son was concerned for me, but I was so happy to be out there again.As of May 12, I’ve been running every other day, usually doing three to four miles on the weekdays and five miles on Saturday. I try to get at least 35 minutes ofevery day, whether that’s by running or another exercise. Pace-wise, I’m slower by about a minute or two per mile than what I ran pre-coronavirus.
