ok 7.5

 On CloudFlyer

got a decent run in this morning, coming in at 7.5km. Pace was ok, if a bit slow. I didnt run as far as I would have liked, but farther than planned when I walked out the door. I was very tired and hadnt slept well, so I planned on taking it easy - and I did. I ditn push, just ran at an easy pace that I felt comfortable at.

weak 6

 On CloudFlyer

got out early and beat the heat but only had a weak 6km run. Wasnt feeling strong but trudged through it. Probably a consequence of my good run yesterday

good 7.5

 On CloudFlyer

good 7.5km run. I have more flexibility now in the mornings to get early morning runs in without having to do it too early because the kids have Pesach vacation. Good solid run, felt good.

good 5.5

 On CloudFlyer

good 5.5km run after 2 weeks off. First week to rest the groin muscle and then a week of travel I decided to not run during... felt good.

painful 3

 On CloudFLyer

I knew tonight would not be a good run. After Friday's extended run tonight would be nothing more than a lousy recovery run so my legs would be ready for a decent real run tomorrow. That's how most Motzash runs are expected to be (assuming I ran on Friday), for me at least. Tonight was worse. The groin muscle pain is back. That means I am going to take a couple days off and let it heal, and hopefully it wont take longer than that. I tried to bail a couple times and then decided I was already out there might as well just turn around and finish with a short slow run. Had to go home anyway. Walking doesnt hurt, so until I went out I didnt realize I had a problem.

good 12.5

 On CloudFlyer

went on some new detours on my run today. Good weather, cool air, hazy so not much sun, no real significant winds, all lined up for a good run. 12.5km at a decent pace. Was good most of the way. The last half kilometer, or maybe a little more, was brutal. Happy I was able to extend my distance a bit more, especially at the end of an insignificant running week

hot 5

 On CloudFlyer

after not running this week, I finally got out to run despite the heat wave we are in. It was more difficult than I expected. 5km in super hot weather. I struggled a bit at the end and even cut it short a bit but overall my pace was ok

good 7

 On CloudFlyer

I thought I wouldnt run today but some time freed up and I was able to get a 7km run in. Weather got nice, though a bit windy. Pace was ok but I felt good and strong..changed my route slightly running down through Mishkafayim and then back up to to RBS and ended up with a bit more uphill than usual but not too much

good 11.5

 On CloudFlyer

My goal today was to extend my run farther than 10km. I had decided that after the Jerusalem Marathon 10km I would start working on extending distance, so it was time to follow through. Today's run was 11.5km in cool but nice weather. I ran my regular route than down through Mishkafayim, onto 3855 (aka Road 10), out on the 375 a bit and then back. The run was a bit slow as it included some good hills along with my knees feeling a little wonky and the pain in my thigh from a few weeks back niggling again for part of the run. Still, I persevered and ran 11.5km. So, even though it was slower, and even though my body wasnt feeling 100%, it was still a good run because it is great to be outside on a beautiful Friday morning and I extended my distance as planned.

good 7.5

 On CloudFlyer

good 7.5km run. Felt good, good pace - not great, but good. Ran early morning because it is nice weather,. not too cold as it has been, and I know I wont be able to run later today with a full schedule on the docket.

good 5.5

 On CloudFlyer

very unseasonably warm day today and I got out late. I wanted to run farther, but I felt stiff and a little sore so I figured better to keep it short. 5.5 at a decent pace

Jerusalem Marathon 10km

 On CloudFlyer

great run at the Jerusalem Marathon in much better than expected weather. 10km at a good pace. Jerusalem is always tough with its hills, and the 10km race was very crowded. Enjoyed and good run.

abbreviated 5

 On Cloudflyer

was having a really good strong run, and planning to go ten kilometers or maybe a bit less, but then after 4km I started to feel some pain in my thigh/groin muscle area. Rather than risk exacerbating, especially with a race scheduled for Friday, it I decided to cut it at 5km. So 5km at a really good pace, back at my original average pace. It might be a one time thing, maybe next time I will be a little slower or whatnot, but I am getting there
