Running in Cincy and over the Ohio

COVID-19, “The Rona Era”

I’m in CINCY!!!! Oh it’s been so long, way too long. Actually it has been years since I’ve been back. I think I was back 4 or 5 years ago. The city itself, has changed so much. I’m really a tourist in my hometown. So many things are new or unrecognizable to me. I’m beyond excited to see my best friends, cousin, and dad. Bonus, my Iowan will see part of the city with me.

It’s Monday and I’m waking up in a wet and rainy cincinnati. I don’t run in the rain but I’m in my hometown. Oh such the dilemma. I had to say screw it and run and do it. I did. I ran through downtown and ran across the bridge to Covington, Kentucky and back. Another opportunity to run across the Ohio River at a different point on the river. The rain kept coming down harder and harder. My compromise to myself was a mile run in the city compared to the 5 miles I wanted to run.
