Hills

We have a perfect, long and fairly steep hill down the street from us that Sam has been running on a fairly regular basis. Yesterday, he got momma to do a few with him.

Kicken It

Dylan and I walked down to the local park and got some kicking in. The park doesn't have goal posts but the boy needed to work the leg a bit and he looked good doing it.

Small Shirt

Sam is trying on the t-shirt from the race wasn't able to run in Va Beach due to the virus. She didn't run 26.2 miles at the beach but did run that distance the same day in DC. I would say she earned the medal and swag. Sam doesn't fit into a women's medium very well.

Fresh Air

Lots of walks these days.

Easter Dog

Things you see on walks.

Street Art

Lots of walks in the neighborhoods around us these days. The kids are staying busy decorating the streets.

Empty Streets

Running at 4am with no one in town driving to the office has its benefits.

First Offer

Sam got his first football scholarship offer today from a division 2 school in West Virginia. I'm sure more offers are in the works.

Natural Entertainment

Nature can put on a show.

Discovered on Walks

Th things you find on walks.

Social Distance Running

Exercise is important even during a pandemic. Just gotta keep that 6 foot distance and apparently, wear a very tiny green hat.

Morning View

Ive been getting at 7am, which when I usually arrive at the office to get started on work the last few days. I tend to start the day in a leather chair in the front room and watch all the dog walkers go by then move to other parts of the house as the day moves on. It's getting nice enough now that the screened porch might come into play.

Simpler Times

We got a four mile walk in this afternoon after a day of online meetings and email. Sam actually got some basketball time in at a friends court. A trip to the store, a car wash and a visit to an ATM was my only other trips out of the house. The weather was gorgeous today which helps with the locked down feeling.

Walk in the Woods

Needed more outside today.

Concentration

Dylan and I got out for some rugby drills at 8am this morning to beat the crowds. It was chilly but felt good to get fresh air.

Marathon

Sent from my iPhonenicole and her friend Sara ran the 26.2 miles they were supposed to run on Virginia Beach this weekend here at home. Got a nice dose of the cherry blossoms on the tidal basin in the first few miles.

Day 4

Sam got a football workout in with some friends and a speed coach today. 75 degrees and sunny. Gotta stay healthy to keep the virus away.

Empty Streets

Day three of the covid containment and DC is pretty empty. This is prime tourist season with the cherry blossoms hitting peak and spring breaks in full bloom. I went to the office yesterday and Nicole went in today for a tad. I will go again tomorrow but most staff are working from home for the duration. I like a little office time and the gym in the building is still open.

The boys are hanging in there and have been out on the athletic fields working out. They still have some friends they can get together with but very few restaurants to hang out in.

Social Distancing

Sam giving Jared one last hug at the basketball year end party. Jared is now Edison's all time leading scorer but sadly graduates this spring. He started on varsity since his freshman year and we will miss him badly.

Everything is cancelled except Spring

Sent from my iPhoneFlights cancelled, schools out, office is closed, no sports but spring continues to emerge.
