MUT Running Daily News | April Fools Day
I’ll admit to being bummed about the lack of April Fool’s jokes this year. We’re all dealing with this situation differently, and some of us choose humor and levity to get through. Ah well, here’s an oldie but goodie from AJW that I’d love to see come to life.

“It’s apparent that many staff members are scared. I’m scared, but we are also ready,” Mammoth SPORT Center physiotherapist Tim Tollefson said. “Personally I have fear over the potential long-term lung damage if and when exposed.”

Two podcasts were released yesterday that included me as a guest. And yes, I’ll be recording soon, just trying to tackle this new reality first.
