During this time of fear and isolation, I am trying to do several things every day to maintain my health and sanity. One of those things is exercise.
I go for a walk first thing every morning. It’s been chilly, some days just a few degrees above freezing. I bundle up and walk for 30-60 minutes. During that time I can breathe the fresh air, hear the birds, and see the plants budding and blooming.
Of course I maintain at least 6 feet (~1 meter) distance from anyone I might pass while out, but most of the time I see very few people out walking.
I know I am lucky that I can leave my house as more cities and countries are instituting stay-at-home orders. I expect that to happen here soon. Until then, I will enjoy my morning walks.
Here are pictures from some of my walks.
