                I’m too overwhelmed to share much. Working out was going great. Now my gym is closed, along with schools and many other places, and we’re trying to isolate as much as possible in order to hopefully help slow the spread of Covid-19. I’m sad and I’m scared.

More warm up time and arm movements should help prevent it. Okay.                 Last night was rough. I’d taken a couple Ibuprofen and had a warm rice sock on my neck. It was my legs that ached though. From the knees down. And my wrists. Oh, and my elbows. After tossing and turning for an hour, I finally grabbed some ice packs for my legs. I laid them on my shins.
