I ran along one of my usual routes thinking that it would be quiet but it wasn&#8217;t. Groups of people walking two to three abreast, or more were blocking different roads so I deviated through fields, turned around or rerouted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of pandemic I would have spent weekends doing things with people so I would have been one of those people doing something with others. In pandemic I do things alone. I have been doing things alone for five years now. One year because I had no car, the second because of a broken arm, and for three years because of the pandemic. Three or four years ago I lost the ability to walk by couples or groups of people without feeling deep sadness, so I found routes that made it possible to avoid people. With the pandemic I had an excuse to do that openly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pandemic never ended, so I never reverted to normal behaviour, and now my people avoidance is who I am, what I have become. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I passed by single women, and single people then I wouldn&#8217;t deviate so much. I&#8217;d be inclined to say hello. It&#8217;s because it is a reminder of my solitude, that I find solitary paths and routes. I like to forget about my isolation, and enjoy my solitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like my daily walks and runs, but Sunday is one of the days where I struggle to find routes with very few people. That&#8217;s why I usually walk extra big loops, compared to normal week days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And Finally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather is warmer now. Not warm enough to run without a hat and gloves, but warm enough for snow to have melted, and for the frozen pond\/lake I walked on to become a place for birds to rest. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>This morning I decided to go for a run, rather than studying or doing other things.
