@h2oratt, @Molpet , and @cheepteach :
Wearing a mask while exercising outside is a conundrum! When the pandemic started and we really didn't know how far and long droplets stayed in the air, I would wear my mask 100% of the time while biking and running, even in 100+ heat on mountain roads and trails . I sounded like geriatric Darth Vader lol.
Now I always have one on and cover my mouth and nose when I'm within sight of anyone, but pull it down otherwise. Like everything, there's a wide range of recommendations about whether to wear masks while exercising or not. I err on the side of caution about masking for a lot of reasons, but really don't want to get sick and then take months/years to get back to my current fitness level.
