Breakfast Club: November 16, 2020

curated running news & curious content 

Good morning! 

Welcome back to Breakfast Club. I hope you're well and safe.

As we hunker down for a long winter, my wife and I decided learning a bit about chess would be a nice way to spend time together. I'm pretty terrible, but I look forward to the challenge of improving. Want to join me? I'm on chess.com as Sam-Rob.

But as far as running goes, I've struggled to set engaging goals this year without races. I took the last week off from running to reset my body, but I'm still contemplating what sort of training goals I should set for this very unusual winter. 

How are you getting out the door in these tough times? What are your winter running or fitness goals?

Alright, let's get onto the newsletter.
