Went out for an easy 5km run. I didnt go yesterday because it was very cold and windy. Today was a little nicer. The winds had calmed down a lot, and the temps were slightly warmer. I was going to take the week off and rest for the Dead Sea Marathon on Friday (I am running 10km, not the full marathon), but decided to go for an easy run to stretch my legs out. Felt good.

I was mentally set to not run this week until close to the end of the week. With a stormy week upon us, I figured it would be too cold and wet for me, and a good opportunity to rest my feet. Today started off rainy but then it got decent, if still cold, and I decided I should go for a short run. I procrastinated while getting ready hoping for it to start raining, but it turned decent and I bit the bullet and went out. Had a decent 7km run. Everything was tight and stiff because of the cold but it turned out decent.

good 11km run. in between the rains the weather was good so I decided to take advantage before the rains return. 11km at a good pace. I ran out on Road 10 again,, and on the way back in I decided to run up to Neve Shamir and visit my kids there, before finishing up the run on the way home. Felt good, good run.

My ankle has been hurting since Friday, which is why I didnt run yesterday. I was planning on not running today either, to give the ankle some more rest even though it was feeling mostly better. Tomorrow is supposed to be the start of a few days of bad weather, so I was set to almost definitely have the week off to rest my foot. Today was so nice, and my foot was not giving me any pain that I just decided to go out and see what happens. I was feeling really good and strong, and most importantly pain free, and ran 10km at a pretty good pace, further improved with a nice little jump. And for the first time in a very long time I deviated from, my regular local routes and went out of the neighborhood and ran out on Road 10 (3855)!

I expected this run to be much better than it actually was. I was feeling decently rested and strong after a day off yesterday. A bit stiff in my feet and calves,but that should stretch out after a bit. It was a much tougher run than expected. I didnt push for longer because it wasnt great. I guess I need a few days to break in the shoes as well in addition to my physical stuff. Still, nice 7km run in beautiful weather.

was an ok run but I cut it short to 7km. I was getting disturbed a lot by some work issues and calls and couldnt really get into a flow and rhythm. The run itself was ok. I switched to these other shoes and while I still have my own issues, the ones I have been feeling recently didnt bother me. I guess it is time to retire the Altras...

after a few days of bad weather I finally got out again. Ran 7km at a fine pace. Run wasnt great but was ok. I think I need to change my shoes - I really felt it in my feet and joints. I will try a different pair next time and see if it was the shoes or just my legs and joints.

I think the end of these shoes is nearing, especially on longer runs. Today I started to feel the pounding harsher and some discomfort. I have other shoes waiting patiently in line. I will try another run or two and if the feeling is still there or it gets worse, these will be retired
Good 10km run, middle of the day. Beautiful weather, but a storm is supposedly approaching and the temperatures have already started dropping. I didnt have much time but wanted to get it in but with a storm supposedly about to start I thought it prudent to run now in nice weather before it gets bad. That is also why I ran 10 despite being pressured for time. Was going to keep it short but being such nice weather I had to take advantage of the opportunity

slow 7km run. Thought it would be a good run because I felt good but when I started running my legs felt heavy and tired. Ok, whatever, the run was ok and I squeezed 7km out of it

good 7km run in beautiful weather. made sure to go out before it got too warm as temps are set to rise a bit today

Better than a normal Motzash run but still slow. 5km at a slow pace. While legs felt sore, overall I felt pretty decent so the run was slow but not decent.

I wasnt sure how much I would run today. I expected a short 5-6km run, but was feeling better than expected after yesterdays long run so though I could go more.While running, at about the 5km mark I noticed a path I had never seen before. I was on track at the time to finish anywhere form 6 to 8, depending on where I would go next, so I decided to explore a bit and take the path. It took me to the top half of Park Yarmut, which I didnt even know existed! Really beautiful park, and going all the way up to the top I saw where they are building the "country". I turned around and ran back through the park down to the bottom and concluded at 8km with a decent pace.

good 11km run in great weather. felt good, extended distance, good pace. All around a good run.

good 6.5km easy run. I wanted to go but then didn't, then did, then didnt, then used some bad weather as an excuse to resolve it, and then the weather cleared up and I gave in and went for a short easy run that turned into 6.5km at a decent pace but felt good throughout and didnt strain myself and push hard.

good 10km run in Ashkelon along the beautiful boardwalk. I did not run hard as being in a new area I was paying attention to landmarks so I wouldnt get lost and also looking around to see the sights, and I still ran a good distance and pace. Really good run.
