Thank you @quadcitytimesbix7 for the terrific cooler! Great surprise to win the drawing. We’ll use this well all summer and hope to see you next July. Better get our hill work in. #running

Heat’s gotten tougher as I’ve gotten older, but give me heat over cold any day. Used to eat 95 degrees for breakfast, and today’s real feel of 90 was almost like old times. Ran a bit of the new route we found the other day. #running #RunFree #BreatheDeep #FinishStrong

Next on the stack of books written by people I know, one from a college acquaintance. Can’t say I knew him well but we did cross paths often enough. He’s had a pretty good career as a writer and this looks to be absolutely fascinating.

Did a pretty good job avoiding people today. Right route, right time of day. Avoiding town parks like the plague because they are the plague—no masks, no distancing, and not a few anti-maskers who become hostile and belligerent when you ask for “Six feet please.” @vernonhills @vhparkdistrict and @vernonhillspd aren’t going to be happy until an outbreak is traced to one of their parks (mobile data don’t lie) and/or verbal sparring turns into a physical altercation and someone gets hurt. #running #RunFree #BreatheDeep #FinishStrong

Five mile walk to get back to our steps routine. Found a new quiet back route, and of course were prepared with masks for the sidewalks and paths where 6-foot separation wasn’t possible.

Will do a full running mask review in the next week or so as we’re sampling different brands, but spoiler alert, @zensah is gonna be way up there. (Photo 2 is the maskless.) #running #RunFree #BreatheDeep #FinishStrong

That’s enough. @vhparkdistrict, @vernonhills and @vernonhillspd, please shut down the parks: barely made it a quarter mile today because almost no one was wearing a mask and no one was social distancing, with some people outright blocking the paths. Your signs are being completely ignored and the parks are turning into petri dishes of disease. City of Chicago took action to save lives, so can you. I’ve run hundreds of miles in these lovely parks since I moved to Vernon Hills but this is a bad bad situation. I run for my health, not to die. Either enforce, send a stronger message, or shut them down completely. Thank you. #running

Coming along very nicely. Two more days to go. Lmk if anyone wants some. Seriously we were talking about doing this before all hell broke loose, I swear. We were gonna do it anyway. Don’t care if you don’t believe us. My grandkids will appreciate the heirloom, I just know it. #sourdoughstarter

No one gonna unmask me. Btw these @Threadless masks are great for running in warmer weather. #running #RunFree #BreatheDeep #FinishStrong

Virtual Cinco de Miler tonight, a day late (yes I waited for it to warm up). Since I’m solidly an experience runner now, I actually enjoyed my first experience in a virtual race. Like any other race, there was a start line, a finish line, and a whole lot of accountability in between. Forgot to pin on my number though. Unless I can defer entries to next year, I plan on keeping the virtual races on my calendar. Need to have a goal in front of me, and we need to keep the running community funded for when we can all come back together. #running #RunFree #BreatheDeep #FinishStrong #cincodemiler

Nice rock gardens featuring kids’ art in all of our local parks. Plus, empty ball fields on the route. Not pictured: the two couples not wearing masks who refused to yield on 3-foot wide sidewalks because they thought they had “the right.” #running #RunFree #BreatheDeep #FinishStrong

Saw more masks tonight than I ever have. Thank you

Saw more masks tonight than I ever have. Thank you @vhparkdistrict for making an effort. More signs please! #running #RunFree #BreatheDeep #FinishStrong

No food shot because we inhaled the tacos, so all you get is the bag they came in. Missed the order deadline for Taco Tuesday which turned this into Taco Wednesday. The aguacate fritos (fried avocado) tacos are good enough to have any and every day. Love these guys.
