This virus thing is having an impact on just about everything. We are continually bombarded with news reports about its effects on various businesses, loss of jobs, and the challenges of quarantine.
With all the 24/7 news of businesses dying under the closure orders, I started to think about how this has affected the people and businesses I associate with. For instance, if there are no sports playing, what are the sports editors going to write about? With no games taking place, I suppose the topic changes to interviewing players and coaches on how they’re handling the hiatus; but how long before you exhaust that topic?
Then it occurred to me that there are no road races being held either. So, that is an area that I can’t write about. No use writing a column about a training program to run a marathon if there are no marathons. And why put some advice down for a speed program for a 5K if there are no 5K races in the near future?
