good 7

 got in a good 7km run, albeit slow. I ran a different route because I had to stop by my parents on Dolev and help them with something. So, I started regular running to the end of Kishon,  out to the first section of RBS B and back but I ran back up Hayarden to Dolev. Ran on Dolev to my parents, did what I needed to do, then ran on Dolev to maor, down to Hayarden, and down Hayarqon back to home, with a detour on the bridge to finish at 7. I havent run the Hayarden Hill in a long time - wow, that was tough!

 I couldn't run this morning, after going to sleep very late last night. I was just going to run tomorrow morning, despite preferring not to run on Tuesdays, but decided to get a late Monday night run in instead.

It was a good slow 6km run. Much hotter and more humid than I expected for so late at night. Felt ok.

 good, hot, run of 5km. got a sightly later than expected start. Felt ok. I am self-diagnosing my self as having either sciatica or piriforms, probably piriforms because my lower back is fine with no pain at all. I think this has been the source of my unusual pains over the past 4 or 5 weeks. It is already much less and has not prevented me from running, but it is still hampering me in that i cannot go full effort - or my full effort as a lower level than it was because it hurts too much to allow me to run faster.

 this is funny. I wanted to bump up to 7 or 8km today. But then I went outside and it was so hot and humid, it was unbearable. I decided right then and there that I would just run 5km and that would have to be good enough. The run went pretty well and as I approached 5 I decided I could keep going and run to 6 or 6.5. and then once I was running 6.5 there was no reason I couldn't bump it up a little more, so I finished at 7. There was no need to punish myself and run 8. I finished my run so drenched in sweat. it was really bad heat and humidity out there today.

good 6.5

 god 6.5km run. felt good, slow

tough 6.5

 it was hot and tiring, but I ran 6.5km. slow but it is in the books!

good 5

 slow but good 5km run

tough 6.5

 I went out today planning to run more than 5. I didn't have a specific gooal, but I considered every option from 6.5 to 8km.

The run was tough. I was slow, my legs felt heavy and tired, as did I in general, and it was just a struggle. I decided to cut it short at 5 considering the quality of the run and figured that would be more than acceptable, considering it is my 5th run of the week after weeks of no running or little running. But then as I was approaching 5, I decided to just keep going for a bit. No reason why not. So I am a little tired, so the run isnt great, so it is a bit of a struggle and not the smoothest of runs. So what? So I ran 6.5km.

 4th run of the week... while no planning isnt the same as bad planning, it is not all that different. I prefer to run Wednesdays, as then I can not run Thursday and run Friday. When coming back form a period of no running plus pain and issues, it is not advisable to run too much, which I might be doing anyway, but I didn't want to run 4 consecutive days. But I didn't really think about it at the time. I woke up Tuesday morning and ran, just because. Only later did I realize that that would mean not running Wednesday. Then if I dont run Thursday, I am getting into a pattern. so by running Tuesday I messed up my schedule.

So I ran today, and hopefully I will run tomorrow. Today was good. Saw more improvement. Ran hard, worked, even struggled a bit, but it was a good run.

 3 days in a row! i was hesitant again today, feeling like if I ran I might feel the pain again, so I was ready to just go for a walk, but I had no problem and was able to run.

5km on another hot and humid morning. Each day I have been getting increasingly not as slow - I don't think i can say increasingly faster yet... I find myself working harder on the runs and keeping myself to the form and gait I think works for me.

I also think it might be time for new shoes. One pair of running shoes is pretty worn down. The other is still in good shape. An orthopedist told me to switch to Hokas, so that might be my next pair and maybe it will be better for me. we'll see

 running two consecutive days? that hasn't happened in a while! I was truly not even expecting it. I went out for a run thinking it would turn into a walk. I was a little sore from yesterday's run still, along with the fact that recently any time I run, I have had some strange pains for a few days after the run that would prevent any further running. So I went out ready for a run, though slightly later than usual, but expecting to go for a walk. But I started my run and was not feeling any pf those pains, so I just went ahead and did my 5km run.

And it was a good run. I felt like I was working and benefiting from a real run. It felt good.

 It was a struggle. I havent run in a few weeks, have been in all sorts of pain with my feet and knees recently, and it was a hot and humid morning. But I got out there and made it through 5km. Nowadays that is a good run, no matter the pace or how well the run actually was. Just getting out there made it good.

good 6.5

Getting a pain free run is good, so even though it was a slow run, it was still a good run, and it was my first of the week.

Nowadays I am having a number of strange pains in my feet and legs so getting runs in is difficult. Even if I get a pain free run in, the pain comes up after the run and prevents me from running for a few days - and this time it was a full week. A few times during the week I went ourt for a run thinking it was gone and I would be able to run only to find the pain immediately upon beginning the run. I don't know where it is coming from, if perhaps my core is weak and my form is bad (I don't think so but maybe) or if I have an actual injury (I don't think so), or if it is my shoes or my orthotics or my gait or something else.

Whatever it is, today I was able to run, and I don't know what the future brings - maybe I will be able to run again in the next few days, maybe I won't.

ok 6.5

Got up early today and went out for a 6.5km run. the run was ok, but it was hotter and more humid than I expected for such an early morning run.  Felt good

My Garmin Connect did sync after the run, but it still gave me messages about the problem being worked on. it seems some of the Garmin servers around the world are back online while others are not, so service is returning though still spotty.

I noticed int he media announcements about the Garmin troubles with the ransomware that they commented on people's personal data not having being stolen. I am not sure why any Russian, Ukranian or North Korean would try to steal my running data. Why would they be interested in seeing how slowly I run? And if they do want to know, why should I care? Anyways, they seemed to go through a lot of effort to find out my pace and distance. They could have just asked me. I would have been more than happy to share the information with them.

slow 5

haven't run on Motzash in ages, but I did tonight. Ran a slow 5km on a very humid night. Nothing exciting. Felt fine. No, my Garmin is not syncing tonight. Not that it matters.
