As for whether I can continue to run after returning to work, it depends on my perseverance."

　　"We have a WeChat group for runners. Most of them are runners from the Panjiayuan and Jinsong areas. When they want to run, they will find a partner in the group." And the owner of this running group is Sun Chengtian.

　　He lives in Panjiayuan Dongli Building No. 3, and can already walk out of the community.

Putting on running shoes, Sun Chengtian runs a running exercise almost every morning and evening.

Since many surrounding communities are still implementing the management policy of "only in and out", Sun Chengtian often fails to find runners.

　　"I don't usually run alone, and I feel lonely. The epidemic came too suddenly, and I can be considered to have gained a new experience. I look forward to lifting the lockdown as soon as possible and meeting my runners again." Sun Chengtian said. .

　　In his opinion, after this "unblocking", there are a lot more runners on the road than before.

In this regard, Sun Chengtian expressed his opinion with a smile, "It may be because many 'office workers' are working from home, and they choose to go out and do activities after the 'unblocking'." In his eyes, this is a positive signal. .
