2) Avoid going too fast, too soon. Slow down; there are no 5Ks in the near future.
3) Try to avoid touching your face while running, keep six feet apart from others and make sure there is enough space when confronting others on the road.
4) Consider competing in virtual challenges with your family and friends to keep you motivated.
