13384600, Been biking to work

Got a pretty nice road bike on craigslist. Car broke down but it's been a blessing in some ways. It's a little over 5 miles of gradual uphill on the way there and starting the day with a little pump has been great for my mood to start the day.

Reasonably confident I had covid. Strange illness ripped through my workplace in mid-Feb. And late Feb, early March my running fitness inexplicably took a dive. Basically a half mile in my calves felt like dead-weight, like blood wasnt circulating properly. I'm not an elite runner or anything but I've never hit a wall like that in my life. Seems like how a mild, essentially asymptomatic case could present itself. I'd like to take an antibody test.

Would be interesting to hear from runners/cyclists who've tested positive about what impact the disease has had on their fitness.
