Quarantine Quartet

Four weeks ago, I saw a state assemblyman propose a quarantine quartet on twitter. The first challenge was innocuous enough – just a one mile walk.

The second week was a 5k so I hiked the hills behind our new neighborhood.

The third week was a 10k, so I took an longer looping route in those same hills, going in the opposite direction.

This morning, I finished the final challenge, a half marathon, where I walked all the streets in my subdivision.

In all, I guess this is a case of willingly succumbing to online peer pressure. But hopefully the good kind.

Here’s the Huntington!
A note of thanks to Jordan Harbinger whose podcasts accompanied me for a couple hours in the middle of this long walk. Silence is good, but five and a half hours is a long time!
One final shoutout to my Converses, that had no say in this matter and got dragged around the neighborhood for a total of 28.44 miles
