I am not running today, Wednesday, but yesterday I ran a pleasant 8+km.. The weather is getting more and more pleasant, at least before it gets hot, and it seems to be getting hot just a bit later in the morning..
On Monday I actually went out to run but it was such a bad run that I bailed early and did not log it. I don't count it as a run. On Sunday night I was out late at a wedding. I overate and I overate very late at night. When I went running on Monday I still felt the food and the tiredness from the wedding and it all just felt bad...

Motzash 10
I missed logging a couple of runs. So, I will add them to tonight's log.
On Thursday I ran 8.25km. I wanted to get the run in, but I did not want to run too much to negatively affect Friday's expected long run. It was a good run at a good pace.
Unfortunately on Friday I woke up late and by the time I was able to go for a run it was already too hot for a long run. I ended up cutting a very sluggish run short at 8km...
Tonight on Motzei Shabbos I ran a slow, but reasonable, 10km in very humid weather. Tomorrow I wont be able to run, so I am looking forward to Monday for my next run..

Ten Tuesday
I finally got my first run for this week in. This morning I woke up early and after not being able to go back to sleep, I got up and went for my run. 10km. Relatively slow pace - a bit surprising, but fine. Good air, good times. It was mostly still dark. While I went out earlier than usual, it has already been pretty light out at this time of day until recently. Winter is coming....

Jerusalem trails
Had an awesome run this morning. I found myself staying overnight in Jerusalem, in the Rechavia neighborhood. I woke up early enough and decided to go for a run while everyone else was still sleeping. I had not planned a route and only sort of know my way around, so I just went out and tried to stay more or less cognizant of where I would be at each stage relative to where we are staying.
There is a bike trail pretty close to the house that goes down to Gan Saccher, among other places, so I started off in that direction and ran through Gan Saccher. That took me up around the Rose Gardens, which I ran through, and then I ran out and up Cinema City to Agrippas. Cutting through Mahane Yehuda early in the morning was cool as the bastas were getting ready to open and people were just starting their shopping for Shabbos.
From Mahane Yehuda I ran down Jaffa Road down to Jaffa Gate of the Old City and then out through Mamilla Mall. Up the road past the US Consulate and then past the Prime Minister's Residence, taking me down Azza Road back to Rechavia, back up the bike trail and back home.
Beautiful route, cool morning Jerusalem air, nice refreshing sun, and 11km through the roads and trails of Jerusalem.

got to know when to fold em
I was not planing on running today. I knew I needed a day off fro it. But I woke up early, so I figured I might as well..
It was as bad as I thought it might be if I would, so I really should not have. I felt like I could not move. My legs were like lead weights. And the bad humidity had nothing to do with it.
I bailed after 4km and decided it was pointless. The only good thing is I was going to bail after 3 and decided to extend it to 4 before bailing

12 hours later..
10.5km on an early Monday morning.. temps were good, humidity was not a problem. overall a beautiful morning for a nice run..
I ran a bit slower than I had expected, but I guess running just 12 hours after a previous 10km run that might make some sense...

Friday Sunday
On Friday I woke up early to run but was too tired after a late night (cousin's wedding, good excuse)... After waking up again a bit later, it was too hot for a long run, but I went out for a decent run anyway. I got in 11.5km, and had an enjoyable morning.
Saturday night I had to go to Jerusalem so I did not get to run.
Sunday morning I did not get to run either, but late Sunday afternoon I found some time and went out for a 10km run and it was glorious! It was hot but not horrible, it was sunny but not overbearing. There were people out but the sidealks were not crowded. All in all a good run at a relatively slow pace.

running schedule messed up
I just got my first run in for the week, at 9km. This week is tough due to our lives being in a flux with some renovations messing up our schedules and living arrangements. Hopefully moving forward things will settle down and I'll be able to run on a somewhat regular schedule throughout and then back to regular when it is complete.

long run 22+
this morning I ran a little more than 22.5km. It was really a great run until nearly the end.
I started my run running across Kishon for 3.3km. After debating whether to run the "Lamed Hei Loop" from the 38 to the 375 or from the 375 to the 38, I decided to start via the 10 and 375, which would make me run the Zachariya hill and the Tzeelim hill back into RBS.
The Zachariya hill, as always, is tough, but I managed it ok. The Tzeelim hill really killed me. It was already pretty hot by then, and that 3km climb, from kilometer 18 through 21 was really tough. I had to stop a couple times on the climb, but eventually I finished it and finished my run ok. My speed was similar to my other runs this week until the Tzeelim Hill and that really did me in.
Maybe next week I'll run it the other way. The benefit is avoiding the two steep and long climbs. The detriment is that it is a lot of slight uphill for much of the way.
Anyways, I am happy I got the long run in

5km worth of fresh air and bright sun
had some work cancellations so after getting some work done I decided to go out for a short run. Boy is it hot out there! Good thing I did not have a lot of time available so I wouldn't be tempted into a longer run!
I got in 5.3km at another good pace. Got some sun and fresh air, so all is good!

faster 9km
this morning I had a very enjoyable 9km run through RBS. It just felt great.
I didn't feel the run as a particularly fast one, but today, along with Monday's run but even more, so, my final speed suddenly took a big jump and got much closer to what it was before my recent 3+ week break from running due to hip pain.
