Episode 79: Pandemic: Personal reports from three athletes from around the world

Category
Highlight

Everyone is talking about it so we should as well.  But instead of more graphs of "How COVID-19 will spread", we will listen to authentic, personal reports from friends.  Europe - United States - New Zealand.  Each report is very different!  We can learn from each other.

"This is a global pandemic, and it supersedes everyone's personal goals"

Note: These conversations were recorded Monday afternoon, March 23, which is important to know as every situation changes every day.

Ingegerdsleden is a pilgrim trail documented by the Church of Sweden. The trail goes from the cathedral of Stockholm (Storkyrkan), right by the Royal Palace, in the Old Town to the catheral of Uppsala (domkyrkan). Whereas the shortest road between the two places is 72 km, the dwindling trail will measure between 125 and 135 km, depending on choice of route in some places where there are optinal routes available. The trail passes historical places, churches, ancient castles and rune stones on forrest trails, paved and un-paved foot paths and roads.
