Thanks !

Just run on the sidewalks. Most people flock to trails and parks, hence why they’ve had to close them down across the country. Many of the normally busy areas don’t have a lot of foot traffic or car traffic now.

I ran from Rosslyn into DC. Other than the Key Bridge, I was able to avoid any big groups of people...I went through Georgetown, Woodley Park, AdMo, Foggy Bottom, etc.

The other route I’d recommend is heading from Ballston to Crystal City. Did a similar route and didn’t see too many people along the way.

Is there a polite/gentle way to talk to your boyfriend about the fact that he has gained a lot of weight in the past year and needs more physical activity in his life?

I am not a very shallow person — he was already on the heavier side when we met. But when I look at photos from just a year ago, it’s clear he’s put on a lot of weight. I am worried about his health. I don’t want to overstep or make him feel insecure. Just wondering if anyone else has ever been here.

Any advice, thanks!
