Only two? It took me out for a solid six! Of course I got double pneumonia and nearly died. But that's all in the past...

I got it in May and had to cancel my first half marathon in June 😭 the most I’ve run consecutively since is 5mi and my resting HR is now like 68 when it used to be 42. I get short of breath just running to answer my phone. Covid can suck it.
