Obeying The Two Meter Rule

I tried my usual route at a slightly unusual time, so it was a little quieter. I seem to be in Zoom all day long most days at the moment, so it’s a welcome break to get out into a little bit of nature.

Folks seem to have got the message about keeping distance between each other whilst walking, but it’s not perfect.

A few suggestions -

* Run on the right hand side pavement. At least then we’re not running at each other.
* If you need to move out into the road to get past someone you can see the cars coming.
* Avoid crowded parts or narrow paths.
* Just come to a stop and look exasperated if you can’t see a 4m gap between people or a 2m gap between a person and an obstacle.
* In the park, run on the grass where you can. So many folks were still only running

I was finding I had to lift my legs more than usual to get through some grassy bits, which is probably good for me.

Donate to my charity

I'm running the London Marathon – it would be awesome if you would sponsor me to raise funds for the National Autistic Society.
