Well. The City of Los Angeles has closed Griffith Park. The City of Pasadena has closed the Rose Bowl. The County of Los Angeles has closed the trails above the JPL labs. With all my favorite routes off-limits, where do I run?
Coming off a lower back injury back in early March, the streets around my place are the most convenient. Alas, most of them feature speeding traffic and go uphill. That means a robust start to any run, followed by a speedy descent that requires managing to avoid stressing my knees. The upside is that I should be a pretty darn strong runner when the pandemic ends.
A small quake-let centered in the San Diego area shook the living room last night, leading me to wonder about the fate of social distancing in a major temblor. I decided not speculate too deeply.
Anyway, we're keeping our spirits up and hoping for better days.
May safety follow you about in these interesting times.

WOW!!! They closed a PARK?!?! That's a tad extreme. Does Griffin Park get a lot of traffic? My apartment window looks over a small park which I'd be at right now, except for the snow.
As for the 'running uphill' , hey, you're a better man than I am, Ghunga Dinn. GO EASY. While you've probably done a lot more uphill running/ walking, always 'exercise' caution first. Then again, I say that as someone whose only hills are snowbanks. Manitoba is a FLATLAND so you're likely a lot more used to uphill walking in California.
Be careful. Stay safe!
The trails I use are away from the road, thus relatively safe.
When I was on the track team in high school, we would run
in the snow as it built up your quads.
