Tuesday Sunshine

COVID-19; The Rona Era

I am officially installed as union president of the MSCA Salem Chapter. This is not how I expected to be president during the Rona, education deficit, threats of furloughs and retrenchment, and collective action( hard and good part).

I wanted to get a 5k in to organize my thoughts. I have a feeling that I may start running twice a day, just to release because my plate is about to run over.

This is the beauty for me of running. From healing and spiritual health to emotional and mental health. I think about people that have no outlet, no way to exercise to fight off anxiety or depression, especially in this time. . I’m not afraid to run outside, I’m not an essential worker, I have green space around me, I have a car and I can drive. I’m attune to my privilege and how running is luxury.

I did more than 5k.. 4.35 miles for Tuesday
