Running has not been cancelled!

I've spent the last 2 weeks acclimating to our new normal, at home and at the office. My kids are on a Corona-schedule, and have adjusted beautifully. They miss school, the interaction with their peeps and peers, but staying connected via various electronic devices and sticking to a schedule is helping a lot.. it's amazing to see how quick to adapt and resilient they are. 

Although our physical office is closed, our business has not! Real Estate is still very much happening in Silver Spring, MD and beyond! We "just" had to make changes to the way we handle it [more about that later], but just like our children, REALTORS® are a resilient bunch. 

While our new normal looks very different than a month or just two weeks ago, with schools and offices closed, A LOT is still happening. 

Running has not been cancelled. Spring has not been cancelled. Real Estate has not been cancelled.

My 3 favorite things! While I don't stray too far from home nowadays, and much prefer getting my miles in around Lake Elkhorn, or Centennial, or ... I can always do laps in the parking lot. 

Granted, not quite as scenic, but at least I am  minimizing the potential of getting chased by angry squirrels again.

Friends, please take good care of yourself. Get out there (whilst maintaining proper social distance of course)! Feed your mind. Fuel your soul. Move your body. Exercise is the greatest gift you can give yourself - especially while adjusting to our new normal.

Hi Andrea Bedard - I really give you credit for keeping it up.  It is one way to get out and still have social distance.

Hello Andrea - it's good to hear you are adapting to this "new routine" as well as your daughters.  I was thinking about how kids are familiar and can adjust with such things that seem more like a chapter from a sceince fiction book of my childhood.  Good for them.

I get out there for a walk first thing in the morning, and then again in the afternoon Grant Schneider. I miss my favorite trails and parks, but those will still be there after "this thing". Occasionally, I'll spot a neighbor and we wave and carry on a conversation from across the street. It's a bit comical - but we all need some comedy relief right now. Hope you are well!

It's quite amazing how quickly we all (well, okay, many of us) have adapted to a new routine/normal. It gives me a lot of hope Michael Jacobs.

I am in awe of my kids! They are/will be missing out on so much, plus, they are facing all this uncertainty, yet they are adapting, adjusting, and tackling it all head-on. It's going to be even more important to check in with them, to challenge them in new ways, and to keep an eye on their mental health.

Take good care of you and yours!
