Ways to Safely Pursue Your Running Goals During COVID-19

Races are cancelled or postponed. Gyms are closed for the time being. With all this change and uncertainty it may feel difficult to maintain your own training. If you’re looking for ways to inject energy and excitement back into your goals, here are a few ideas to stay motivated during these trying times.

Chasing the Dream Race

Have you ever had a dream so big that you are afraid to say it aloud? Been so afraid that if you venture to do so, you will have to not only admit it to yourself but also make a public proclamation. Afraid that this dream is so far out of reach you might get laughed at; hell, it might even make you laugh at yourself?
