Social Distancing While Enjoying the Outdoors

I know in times of stress, many of you seek the release that comes from exercise. But this is not the time for you to be in a gym, healthclub, or fitness center. Until the risk goes away, find other ways to exercise such as home workouts, hikes, or other outdoor activities. But as you do so, remember to maintain social distancing from others doing the same.

We are still able to get out to parks and hiking trails as long as we practice social distancing. So we will try to get out every day. We won't be using the playground or the exercise equipment at the parks. We will continue to use the walking paths, and actually greet our neighbors, from a safe distance. 

We have horseshoes, kites, balls, Bocce Ball, Frisbee, a football, a street hockey set, badminton, Scatch, (tennis ball and Velcro mitts), scooters, and a croquet set we never opened, which I don't know how to play. All of these things are sitting in our garage, many of which, have rarely been used. Now is the time to bring them out. All can be used by our family at the park while practicing social distancing. We can even enjoy a picnic on a blanket. Also all of these can be done without touching things that others have touched.
