I have dusted off the “dreadmill”. Running on the treadmill has to be an activity I despise the most in life. However, this is in desperation to have that daily solitary run that I now crave. Hiring a babysitter during this time of social distancing just isn’t an option.
Perhaps symbolically, my treadmill is stuck on an incline. Just like my run against that hill, life at the moment may present with new challenges. What was taken for granted in the past just isn’t available today. Even a simple grocery run has become an arduous process. For some, the days seem endless. I can’t find enough hours in the day. But even in that struggle on the incline, there will be that day of stronger cardio and glutes. Here’s hoping, also a better world.
