I had to unsubscribe to a bunch of stuff on Twitter (I only used it for a short time) because everyone was so angry and ranting! Ugh. No thanks. Your "not training" weekly plan sounds great! I will need to write one out for myself since my race was canceled.

We all have to do our part and social distancing is the key. I've had to shut down my personal training business until we get past the risk of spreading COVID-19. It was one of the hardest decisions I've had to make.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673587906852568968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862780880843779940.post-25181323892787712872020-03-16T21:12:23.460-04:002020-03-16T21:12:23.460-04:00Yes if social was part of my work I'd have a m...Yes if social was part of my work I'd have a much different attitude toward it.Birchwood Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504702778025456387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862780880843779940.post-44988122648992692302020-03-16T21:09:40.402-04:002020-03-16T21:09:40.402-04:00Oh man, so nice, not gonna lie there are many thin...Oh man, so nice, not gonna lie there are many things that I'm loving about social distancing.Birchwood Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504702778025456387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862780880843779940.post-54098404911382395592020-03-16T21:08:32.357-04:002020-03-16T21:08:32.357-04:00I remember so many times that a high five has give...I remember so many times that a high five has given me an extra shot of energy in a race, looks like the new normal will be air pushing a press for power sign.Birchwood Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504702778025456387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862780880843779940.post-4972305215130281472020-03-16T19:21:33.077-04:002020-03-16T19:21:33.077-04:00I like Instagram so much more than facebook or twi...I like Instagram so much more than facebook or twitter!

So many animal accounts!<br /><br />Sometimes we do have to step back from social media, but it's the realm in which my business exists, so...<br /><br />I love the idea of continuing to train and dealing with the cancelations if or when they come.Runs With Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171128110788554302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862780880843779940.post-58776465717871841232020-03-16T12:48:28.084-04:002020-03-16T12:48:28.084-04:00Fingers crossed always!
