I didn't realize VA had a particular cold but yes biking in the rain can be piercingly cold.

I think you’re in a really bad spot for nasty cold rains. Down here the water is warmer and elsewhere it’s more likely to be a relatively dry snow. You’re in the land of ice bucket challenge rainy days.

I've been running 3-4 times a week lately.
Not long, about 15 minutes but it's a bit uphill most of the time so it's still relatively tiring.
Feels good.

Running has kept me sane throughout coronavirus. has it you guys?

Kept me sane through many things!

I ran my first 5k on Saturday! I am still buzzing about it, I didn’t really do any training or anything so it wasn’t easy for my fat asthmatic ass but I did it!

HaHa! Good for you FETCHER !!

I'd be interested to know your time and other details, so I can compare:-

I've done a few 5km. runs: always on Sunday mornings, always in the same absolutely flat city, and always in the "over 50s" category. Most often they've been organised about Christmas time, with an impressive turnout: serious contenders doing a 10km route, the 5km crowd straggling a little.

My "run" was always jog for a bit, then walk, then jog again: repeat until you see the finish line or faint, whichever comes first. My time was usually about 45 mins, which put me somewhere in the middle of the pack.

Congrats!

Heck yeah! Congrats FETCHER!
