Oh, yeah. This is MUCH more like what I expect from the DC Area in August. Heat, palpable air, sticky palms, sweat that won't evaporate - If I could afford to stay in San Mateo after I retire, I'd only leave in a pine box.

Symtons started saturday or sunday, tested postive tuesday when I took a test. it’s been 5 days since symptoms started. Work only gives you five days once you test positive. Am I missing something? I feel better just not 100 percent. And yes I am wearing a mask in public, yes i’m stuck in my room, and no I am not going to work. I do plan on grabbing my bike today but that won’t require any people contact.

in my adult life i’ve had a couple different hobbies/obsessions over the years, it really seemed like cycling was the best of them and most likely to be a forever thing. that’s a big part of the hit.
maybe it’s actually too soon to say definitively that i’m retired - my EP thinks it may actually be covid related. apparently there are some cases of asymptomatic covid triggering ventricular arrhythmia. ironically, that would actually be a great outcome, because they seem to subside after 4-6 weeks. the timing doesn’t seem to quite work with my daughter’s test results but who knows.

I had a delightful ride today. On a route I haven't done since before covid. It contains the one hill easily reached by bicycle--an overpass. 33miles total. And speaking of pre-covid, I haven't felt this strong on the bike, or in real life since then.

The forecast warns of a high of 89A today. Almost sweater weather.

Even I had so dearly hoped we were past Covid. I don't get close to people for at all long in the grocery store, and not sure if I want to mask at the PT. Damn.

Will heavily padded cycling gloves hinder the opening of snacks while riding?

Or, for the Over 50 forum - "What Denture Adhesive Works Best For Using Your Teeth When Opening Snacks?"

Sad. I was going to say I never saw that feature before. I tried searching segments on the web version, found the right one, but no data on recent efforts showed.
I've seen her dozens of times while mowing, or driving down the road. Not super fast, but hardcore. She's out there in the middle of the day during the summer, running the sidewalk along a busy road.
Usually runs like a robot, just looking straight ahead, but yesterday she came as close as she has to acknowledging my presence. LOL
Usually I'm running a machine, and it's not practical to say anything. I guess I could stop it and yell "Kudos," but that seems even more creepy than posting a comment on her Strava (if she even uses it).
