One way I have been coping with the quarantine is running most mornings.

I have a hard time justifying why I can't go for a solitary run. I usually pass one or two people on the other side of the road, but I'm not spreading the virus to them and they aren't spreading it to me.
In crowded cities, I know this is more of a problem, so I count my blessings that I live in a small town and not many people get out early in the mornings to go for walks or runs.
Apparently, President Macron has now declared that people need to stay within 1 kilometer of their homes and can only go out for an hour, but if I make a big circuit around my house, staying within a kilometer, I can still run 5 or 6 kilometers.

Stay safe and be on the lookout for the beauty around you.

Being grateful will definitely help us get through this
Here outside of Seattle - in fact in notorious Kirkland - I take my walk every day. I hope there aren't restrictions on where I can walk because mine is 5 miles away and I have done it solo for years. I think at this time it helps people to see me on my regular route and there is plenty of room to pass a few people by many feet away.
Gorgeous photo of your river and the old bridge. Thanks for climbing the rock for us! Air quality in Paris is the best it has been in 40 years with almost no traffic. We can walk the dog in the middle of the street, and having the city quiet enough to hear birdsong is a nice change. Blue skies and sun this week make me miss friends, the parks and cafés all the more though. Wishing good health, patience and peace of mind for you, your family, and all your readers.
Breath taking
Headed for my walk soon. At least we are still allowed out. I'm glad you can run.
Stay well, Paulita.
Marg, Yes, working on gratitude.
Sillygirl, It's so fabulous to get outside. Here in France, we wouldn't be allowed to drive someplace and walk. We have to stay within 1 kilometer of our homes. The police stop cars and check your papers.
Kiwi, Stay safe in Paris. I know that it's harder to avoid people in a big city.
Just Me, You too. Has anyone gotten sick at work?
Jeanie, So glad that you can still walk too.
Deb, Thanks for reading and commenting. Hope you are well.
