Yeah, I kind of like the new normal too. When they lift the orders, I'll probably continue with it on my own.
I have a trail system a mile from my house. It was laid out by mountain bikers on county land, with hills and creeks. It's in a wild area. I seldom meet anyone else when I'm there. I met a bear on the trail last fall. The bikers advertise it as 16 miles of rocks and roots. I have a hiking app, called Map My Tracks, which records duration, distance, average speed, elevation gain, and calories burned.
It sounds like you're in a good place in your head.
