I could probably get a 50-60 meter lap in the garden, but most of it would be over grass and I'd definitely pull a big line of damage on the grass which is not the best idea I could also just use the driveway next to the grass which is 50 meters (let's say 45 since I don't turn exactly at the 'wall' of course), but then it would really be a matter of running back and forth. We are actually sort of planning to set up a shuttle run test for fun So far running outside is still allowed luckily, and since being allowed to go out is important for the health of the general population I doubt that'll change, but if it does, I'm definitely going to try a garden run.

That's why a watch is so much better (definitely for me, since I don't listen to music anyway while running)

That sounds awful and has the potential for so much extra shit happening...I am so glad that's not possible here.

Wait, everyone can enter their district and see the name and adress of anyone under quarantine? I'd hope this information is only available to doctors, at the very maximum?

I've thought "nah, that's not my thing" for years, until one day I came by Comedy Central as usual when I've got nothing to do and just didn't feel like turning it off and went on to start watching it from the very first episode on. Not a moment of regret about that decision

Petra Hillenius ( ), who swam at the 1984 Olympics as a 16-year old. She died aged 52 after suffering from motor neurone disease.

Apparently this is being received rather well, now I'm curious because the format definitely seems different than your average movie. It may arguably be the best ever movie about a food platform moving down a tower-like prison.

Oh come on, another one of the dozens and dozens of movies that are 'arguably the greatest film in history'? I've seen Arrival. Weird as shit, but pretty interesting. Main good thing for me was that it wasn't the millionth movie with aliens that are basically human-like except for a different colour, language and technology.

I'm reading Stephen King's The Long Walk, there's sort of an athletic element in it so that's cool.

Or also somewhat if they had recently won their 9th title and so now the 10th would suddenly make a difference, but they won that when the echoes of the WW2 artillery had barely even died down

Sure, but since we're still fighting the virus and the number one thing still remains social distancing...take a seat a few meters away please

I'm glad my job which I was supposed to start (at least the three-month traineeship) this week, but has been pushed back to 1 May for now, is in the field of psychological care...there's undoubtedly always going to be people needing that, even more after a crisis like this

What on earth would the motivation be for only crowning B.93 champion?

Since Saturday's half marathon in my little town is of course cancelled, which was supposed to be my second ever official one after my somewhat botched debut last year, there's a slight change of plans. I've been training of course and it's going pretty well, so I have more or less decided to go and run a half marathon anyway on Saturday, just on a different, not pre-determined route - I don't live in a city and it's pretty straightforward here to run while making sure you don't get too close to people. Not really a time goal here and I'm just gonna try and take it easy from the start on, but I'm in pretty decent shape so let's do it. Plus Saturday is the last day of Autism Week (which started Saturday the 28th here, for some reason), so that's an excellent goal for me to keep in mind as a way to close the week. Tl;dr --> Saturday, half marathon.

If only people would do that while staying 1,5 or 2 meters away from each other, there wouldn't be that much of a problem (it would in fact be good, since now more than ever it's important to stay healthy and make sure you get a healthy dose of fresh air and such), but for some weird reason people feel the need to be physically close to each other outside

Oh well, those governing suits like to look important in pretty places, making people believe they do it out of kindness or something. No, FIS officials don't care about the Mexican federation and ISU officials don't care about the Thai federation other than both of them being able to give them a nice beach resort with some good drinks.

At least Croatia has regular FIS races every winter (and Greece does too, I believe) But Cancun. Lol.

Yeah, don't kid yourself in thinking the old guys in the suits know that. They only see a free beach vacation with plenty of drinks and anything Phuket has to offer.

ISU's congress for June has been postponed to next year. It was due to be held in Phuket and yes, that's in Thailand. The fancy old boys were going on an expensive beach vacation to freaking Thailand to talk about the future of speed skating, figure skating and so on. Thailand. Of all places.

Another crisis meeting here tomorrow, probably the result of that will be that the precautions until 6 April will be extended. There's not really any more precautions to be expected, since we're already at basically the realistic limit of what you can do without losing the balance and compromising people's health and lives in other ways. The main focus is on increasing the number of available ICU beds, half of which have been cut away in past years because it was deemed too expensive to keep them

Because things like this are okay for dictators.

Yep, thanks for that. It sucks, but it sucks less than finding it out in December. I'll ask Gabriela Neres if she's planning to go there, 2021 will be what's now her last year of eligibility and I know she's at university, it'd be really cool if she can go.

It has now been confirmed by the Brazilian federation on which I better make no remark as to their quality and know-how: no Winter Universiade for her.

I can barely remember that anyway even if I've watched every single final live, nothing changes for me there The previous Olympics are a little over two years ago and with most events - even though I've seen them - I'm gonna need Wikipedia to know who won.

Nah, only in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, then we go back to normal Personally I quite like it, more world championships and less of the continental championships that often feel a bit depleted anyway.
