Here in Italy the lockdown continues. After the 4th of may we will know if the things can change a little: however it is said that, maybe, the runners will be allowed to run 400 meters around home (only rumors at the moment),
All the running events were canceled since the first days of march and there are not races in the near future (not even in may).
When going out to run was prohibited I began to run on my old "dreadmill" (I have always hated that "thing") but at the end of march it "passed away". I have been trying to buy a new treadmill but the times of delivery are long (and no sure) and the items I like are sold out. So I began to run around my garden: boring workouts 10/11 km long, the lap is short and with many turns but, at the moment, I don't have other possibilities. In the pics you can see how the grass is after my runs.
But in the garden I'm not alone: these 2 gentlemen check my workouts step by step, day after day, and offer their appreciated advices how to improve my pace. Please let me know if you need their help.
STAY SAFE!
Nice to see you back and healthy! Things are so rough over in Italy but looks like they are starting to ease up. I imagine it must be so hard to not be able to walk or exercise outside. I am thankful we can still do that. I don't live in a big city so there are not too many people around when I run. Sending well wishes you,your family and your country

ReplyDeleteHello, we have been seeing a lot of bike riders and joggers lately on our street. Cute kitty, I hope you and the gull stay safe. Enjoy your day, wishing you a great new week.
ReplyDeleteWow, it must be so hard with all of the restrictions around going outside. It's great that you are able to run around your garden, even if the area isn't that large.
ReplyDeleteContinue to stay safe!
I can just imagine how hard it must be not to be able to run outside... But you're making the most of it - which is so great! Fingers crossed that you'll have a little more freedom from 4 May.
ReplyDeleteThinking of and praying for you and your family!
Glad to know you're fine. We are inside until May 5th when our restrictions will be reviewed. We only can go within 2km of our house. It's frustrating but it's better to be safe than get that virus. Take care and stay safe.

I'm glad that you're well. Sorry about the running restrictions. Love the cat though! I hope that you are able to get out for longer runs soon -- I know that will help you to feel so much better!
ReplyDeleteSorry for all the turmoil in getting those miles run. Glad you're staying safe, though! Also, it's nice you have your "friends" there to support and encourage you ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis too shall pass. At least once we are free to roam our streets and trails again, it will be with far cleaner air -- and one less contaminated with COVID-19, we hope.
ReplyDeleteWe are under lockdown too but not as strict as what you describe. We can still go out to trails and paths to run. we hear on May 8 of some rules can be relaxed. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh those running restrictions are so tough. Hopefully things will ease a bit after the 4th. Stay safe and well!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing you have the mental strength to run on that garden path! I'm so sorry things in Italy continue to be restricted. We are on lockdown but I can still go out and run, thank heavens. I am ready for this pandemic to be over!
ReplyDeleteHow difficult that you can't get out of your house to run! At least here we can. But I'm sure your country will continue to do a much better job of containing the beast than the US. We've got some problems...as I'm sure you hear on your news...
