What you have read so far was actually my entire motivation for starting this post, but it has indeed been a rather unusual March. Because of COVID-19, I'm spending time at home "social distancing", or rather, indulging myself in the company of solitude. In preparation for (a.k.a. using as an excuse) extended periods of working from home, I went on an upgrade spree for electronics: I got a second monitor, a monitor stand, and larger hard drives for my NAS. In fact, I've been gradually expanding my arsenal of devices since last Fall, so look out for a potential setup post.
-Amazon's Prime Now service has been keeping me fed for two out of the past three years during which I cooked for myself. It's a bit alarming that Amazon of all things has become literally something I can't live without, but until I have my underground bunker and algae farm, I'll have to make do with this symbiotic (or should I say parasitic) relationship. I'm not sure if I really enjoy cooking though, as least most of my efforts devoted to it has been on how to reduce the amount of time I spend in the kitchen. Fortunately I hardly ever get tired of eating the same dishes, so I just kept making the same ones, while gradually optimizing the preparation: I have yogurt and trail mix for breakfast, beef curry with rice for lunch, and pan-fried salmon with rice and stir-fried cabbage for dinner.

-The pandemic also puts my running plans on hold: the trail I normally run on has been closed down. I did get plenty of mileages in before social distancing started (4 weeks ahead of schedule in terms of total mileage now), so I should still be on track to hit my 2020 target. Perhaps due to the snow and ice along the way, my running shoes (Mizuno Wave Rider 23) are wearing out faster than before: at 250-mile-mark, I'm already feeling arch discomfort in longer distance runs, while previous iterations of Wave Rider I wore lasted until around 300 miles. Aside from shoe issues, shin pain also started to creep up as I've been doing longer runs, so this just might be the opportunity I needed to take some rest. I have converted myself to a morning runner as I plan to ultimately sneak a run or two on weekdays. So far I'm enjoying my morning routines, despite a few of snow-stormy days that were extra tough (but fun). Plus, I get to see sunrise instead of its less cheerful sibling.

Reading the news during the outbreak frequently struck me with an unreal feeling: because of both the things that are actually happening and the way news articles covers them in a deliberately divisive facade. To be fair, asking an organization that preys on human attention to report in a plain and down-to-earth way is an oxymoron in itself. It's probably hypocritical for me to pick on the news agencies though, as I am also guilty of deriving excitement from the current situation: the mere thought that what is ordinarily just an apartment is now my personal fortress against an uncured pathogen is enough to keep me up at night.

以上其实就是我开始写这篇日志的的全部动机，但今年的三月的确相当不寻常。由于COVID-19，我正在家中“远离社交”，或者说是沉浸在独处的享受中。为了准备长时间在家工作（绝对是借口），我进行了一连串的电子产品升级：我购置了第二台显示器、显示器支架和更大容量的NAS硬盘。实际上，去年秋天以来我一直在逐步扩展我的设备库。也许我该写一篇日志来记录这些。
-我开始自己做饭是三年之前，而最近两年亚马逊的Prime Now服务成了我赖以果腹的唯一食材来源。自己的日常起居竟然如此依赖亚马逊的事实是有点令我担忧，但是在我拥有自己的地下基地和蓝藻农场之前，我只能凑合维持这种共生（或者应该说是寄生）关系。不过，我不确定我是否真的喜欢烹饪，至少我花在烹饪上的大部分精力都在如何减少而非增加在厨房里花费的时间。幸运的是，我几乎从不厌倦吃相同的食物，所以我一直做着相同的几道菜肴，并逐步将每一道菜的准备工作优化到最简：我的早餐是酸奶和混合干果，午餐是咖喱牛肉饭，而晚餐则是煎三文鱼配米饭和炒卷心菜。

病毒的肆虐也使我不得不暂时搁置跑步计划：我平时使用的路线已经不向公众开放。所幸在开始居家远离社交之前，我已经超前完成了不少里程（比起预订计划提前了4周），所以我仍然有望实现2020年的目标。也许是由于路上的积雪，我的跑步鞋（美津浓Wave Rider 23）磨损得比以前更快：在累积里程达到250英里时，我已经感觉到跑长距离时足弓不适，而这双鞋以前的版本可以一直撑到300英里左右。除了鞋子问题外，随着我逐步延长的跑步时间，我时有胫骨疼痛的现象，所以我正好趁这个机会休息一阵。为了最终在工作日也能跑步，我转为了晨跑派。到目前为止，尽管有个别风雪交加的日子比较难熬（但其实挺有趣的），我仍喜欢这一决定。另外，能看到更令人振奋的日出而非日落也是个优点。
在病毒爆发期间所读到的新闻经常给我带来一种不真实感：既因为实际发生的事情，也因为新闻那种刻意挑起矛盾的报导方式。好吧，公平地说，要求一个以掠夺人们注意力为食的机构以朴实、不带修饰的方式来报导新闻本身就是一种矛盾。不过话说回来，同样从当前的情况更多地感到兴奋而非不安的我或许没有资格对新闻媒体的做法挑三拣四：仅仅想到这间普通的公寓现在是我抵御尚无治疗方法的病原体的个人要塞就足以让我睡不着觉。
