I used to go for a Park Run every Saturday morning at 8 am, but that halted in early March because of COVID-19. Given that we had up to 200 runners and social distancing would be very difficult with that number of participants, the event has has been in abeyance until now.
So today I joined maybe 50 others on the first run in 9 months. Organisers offered two alternative routes, one 5 km and the other 2 km. I chose the latter because of lack of running practice over the longer distance and I didn't want a second round cardiac arrest.
I was able to run half the distance and walked the rest, albeit at a fast pace - not bad for a 75 year old. I was first back for my category in record time, but only because I was the only performer to select the short route!! Here we are assembling at the start on a brilliantly clear sunny morning. Even at 8 am the temperature must have been around 19 to 20 C.

I would look about the same when my face is in the sun. I try and not judge people by one expression.x
Really it is all about respect.
