WHAT TO DO DURING SOCIAL DISTANCING


Numerous campuses are moving to online classes and practicing social distance because of the coronavirus pandemic. Social distancing is when you avoid large crowds and try to keep six feet in between you and other people whenever possible. Ohio Northern University asked for all large events to be cancelled and to reduce the number interactions between people. Everything has changed so quickly over the past few days that it is hard to keep up with all the changes. With most sporting events, concerts, and forms of entertainment closed now, it can be hard to find way to stay entertained. Below are three activities you can do while social distancing is still going on!

Take a walk or run! Getting outside and enjoying the fresh air can be helpful when you are feeling locked up. You can either take a gentle stroll and enjoy the fresh air or go on a run to get your blood moving and heart pumping.

Stretch or do yoga at home! When you want a break from watching your favorite season on Netflix or doing online classes, take some time to stretch or preform a simple yoga workout. You do not have to go to a yoga studio to get a good yoga session in. There are so many different yoga videos online that you can easily follow, no matter your yoga style.

Watch that movie you’ve been wanting to watch or read that book you’ve been meaning to read. For instance, if you loved Frozen like I did, you will be overjoyed to know that Frozen II is now on Disney Plus! Now that you have a little more time on your hands because all of the cancellations that have been happening.

Social Distancing and the craze that is going on around us will not last forever, so continue to stay positive and WASH YOUR HANDS!

    Thanks for the tips above. We should definitely find ways to enjoy ourselves while being at home all day lol. I have not seen Frozen II yet, so that will be the first thing I watch when I make it back to Memphis lol. But I'm praying that the virus blows over soon.

Using Social Media to Find Gluten Free Recipes

Being gluten free can be difficult as it is, so why struggle to find things to make or eat. One of the most challenging things about being gluten free is finding a place to go out to eat at. Therefore, I often decide to stay in and make my own meal. Luckily, there are so many gluten free baking blogs and accounts on Instagram and other site, that it makes making your own meal so much easier. The thing about baking gluten free is that gluten free flour does not have the same elasticity as flour with gluten. When you look at a gluten free recipe you will likely see Xanthium Gum or other additives that create the elasticity, so your bread does not crumble as easily. Recently, companies have started to make gluten free flour that you can replace regular flour with one-to-one. This make a world of difference when you are converting a recipe to gluten free. I follow quite a few gluten free baking accounts on social media. Below I have compiled a list of my favorite accounts to find g

ALUMNI BASKETBALL GAME AT BUCKEYE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL

On Feb. 24 th , I live-tweeted the boys alumni basketball game. There were two teams playing. Since the players only play for fun, they do not have actual team names. Instead they wore red and white shirts to distinguish themselves. I referred to the teams based on their shirt color throughout my tweets. The game was held at Buckeye Central High School in their gym.   It was a close game for most of the game, with lots of back-and-forth. The final score was 86 to 82, with the red team coming out on top! Both teams did an excellent job and had a great game! Congratulations to the Red Team! You can check out my live tweet by searching #AlumniBBall2020 on twitter or by following me on twitter @Lydia74353175.

TRAINING TO RUN A 5K

Running use to be something I always enjoyed doing. I was in cross-country, track, and always liked the conditioning part of basketball. Even after I was out of sports, I continued to run consistently up until last year. I am not sure why I stopped running I just ended up not running anymore. So, since my classes are all online now, I have no more excuses to not run. In order to keep motivated, I am running with my sister Paige and we set a goal that we want to complete a 5K without walking. Since we do not know when the next 5K will be because of COVID-19, we decided we would have our own 5K on May 1 st . We are training five days a week, Monday through Friday. We also made challenges for different days of the week, so we continue to challenge ourselves. One of our challenges is that we run as far as we can in one direction without walking. Then we are forced to either walk or run all the way back. This is something my coach use to do when I was in cross country, so that we
