lucKY2b - Good to hear that you're feeling better, and ready to get rolling again. I think the gym option is good, especially so convenient to home. I joined the local YMCA this year, and it's been great to use the machines there -- for strength work, cross-training, and the treadmill when the weather is too awful. I'm often the only one there, so I'm not too worried about contagions, but, still, I am careful to wipe down the equipment and use the hand disinfectant.

I am ignoring my knee pain as tomorrow I start a 21-week half-marathon plan. I'm still working on the details, but it's based on Daniels' four-phase schedule. Phase One is easy base mileage. For the subsequent phases, I'll try to stick with a seven-day week; if I'm not recovering enough between quality days, I will scale back the workouts or go to a nine-day week.
Have a good week, everyone. Be well!
