I miss running. I haven't run in several months. I'm scared to because I get this nagging pain in my right thigh. I need to see somebody for that probably. Maybe I need different shoes or to stretch better.

Lots of historic races getting postponed and cancelled. Boston got moved to September, but I don't see how that happens. Unless they limit it to just elites.
