Assuming all spring marathons are going to end up canceled, I’m running my 26.2 on Patriots Day and pushing for an unofficial PR regardless of what the BAA does.
Might as well not let all this winter and hills training go to waste.
I’ll probably just step out my front door and do it, same as a training run.
i got better things to do on 4/20

Use all this marathon base training and attack some shorter races instead. You might be surprised how fast you can go with the endurance you’ve built.
Aren't you worried that by doing this and being a total hero that all the people who will surely organise a parade to see you afterwards will be a bit dangerous though?

Be careful afterwords, your immune system will be compromised for a couple weeks where you will be especially vulnerable.
My late Coach, Harry Groves of Penn State, used to say "I don't care if the Russians nuke us. Wait for the smoke to clear, and get your ass to practice!"

That's my plan.

There aren't going to be ANY other races. Everything will be canceled. Just get out and maintain base and stay healthy for this spring. That's really all any of us can do.
