Staying inside during Covid-19 is hard! Our family loves to be outside and we live in a small condo downtown and crave nature time. Pete and I realized quickly that our gym shoes had been locked at the gym. We debated for a very short time before purchasing two pairs of brand new (Brooks) running shoes. This was a best quarantine decision.

Saturday marked our first 10 kilometre run! We ran together as a family, Pete and I sharing the responsibility of pushing baby Juno. June loved it and didn’t make a peep. I think she enjoyed the speed and, like all of us, being out of the house.

In an interesting paradox, we are feeling healthy and alive during this global pandemic!

Updates! Below is a table of our continued efforts for a weekly 10km run. We are happy with the progress!
