easy 5

 ON

a little colder than I like but it was bright and sunny and I got in an easy 5km run at a reasonable slow pace

great 10

 ON

After another cold and rainy morning, I thought I would miss my regular Wednesday run. Later in the morning it suddenly cleared up and was bright and sunny with some nice white clouds, but I was working. I could only hope that the gap in the rains before the coming storm would last long enough to give me some time to run.

Finally I got my chance, though by then the rain clouds were already moving back in and it had gotten colder and windier. Still decent weather, with some bits of sun, and I took advantage and went out. I was hoping for 8km, but left it open to depend on the weather.

I ended up running 10km really strong and at a great pace, despite the strong headwind in some places.

good 6.5

ON

good 6.5km. I thought it would be another no-run day because of cold, wind and rain and not much time. I was outside and it was such a beautiful day I decided that when I get back i would go for a run. So I did. a bit tough with a cold wind, but overall it was really nice and I had a good run.

easy 6.5

 On

still feeling a little stiff, I went for an easy 6.5km run. Didnt go early morning because it was too cold and I procrastinated, but when I finally got out the cold didnt bother me, though the headwinds did. I knew I wouldnt get an amazing run in, so I just took it easy and was happy to get any run in.

recovery 6.5

good run for a MOtzash. very slow, but steady,, felt good though stiff

wet 8

 On

yesterday I didnt run. I woke up a little too late so didnt have time and when I had time later I decided not to so that I'd be able to have my Friday long run, even though I really wanted to.

Then the storm hit. I was hoping I would have a nice gap in the morning to run, and I did. But it was still cold and rainy, and after a tough night I decided I would only run a basic 5km. I was felling good though and the rain was only light, so while I knew I would not be running the 15 or 18km I had originally planned, I knew I could do more than 5. So I extended it and ran 8km. There was a light rain throughout the ru but overall it was a pretty good run at a decent pace.

tired 8

 HOKA

I was a bit surprised to see my final average pace being pretty decent, as I felt like my legs were very heavy and tired during the run. I started off well and was running strong, but from about 3km my legs just felt tired. I pushed on, but it didnt feel like such a strong run. Happy with my 8km run, and the better than expected pace is a bonus

good 6.5

good 6.5km run this morning. felt good. strong run. 

tired 7

 ON

The run was actually a good one, but I was tired after a late night. I ran strong, but felt tired. I had to stop once to rest for a moment, and then got lucky when I had to take a business call which forced me to stop a second time. Besides for that though the run itself was pretty good 7km at a good pace. Beautiful warm weather soaking up the warm rays of the sun

pretty good 6.5

 ON

really good run this morning. 6.5km at a pretty good pace. Felt strong. Pushed a bit. As I was finishing I thought maybe I should go a bit further, but didn't.

ok 6.5

 Hoka

It was an ok run, which is pretty good for a Motzash. 6.5km at a slow but decent pace. Felt ok

Unexpected 16

 Hoka

I went out looking for a 14km run, maybe pushing to 15, but ended with a 16km run. It was a good run. Was feeling good, got up early, air was cool though there was a strong breeze. 

Regular route across Kishon and bridge to Gimmel, up through Yarmuth Park and then across Eliyahu Hanavi past Gimmel. At the junction there I was torn as to whether turn around, turn right and explore, or turn left and take the road down to the 375. I was very tempted, but I felt 17km would be too much for the day and forced myself to turn around or turn right instead.

instead of turning back I turned onto Zechariah and ran until the section down to Tzeelim. It was nice to explore on the edge of RBS C and D and get a sense of the directions out there. That would have brought me down near my house with not enough distance, so I turned back and ran back Zechariya the other way, and took Eliyahu Hanavi back to RBS A. Then I ran part of Hayarden and turned around and ran home. I ended with 16 because I kept adding just a bit more, as I was feeling good. Pace wasn't great but wasn't bad either. Slow, but not too slow.

relaxed 5

 On

after my Saturday night I discovered that last week I had been exposed to someone COVID-positive, so I had to go into quarantine. I have now finished my quarantine, with two negative tests, and was finally able to run this morning. 

Taking it easy, I ran a relaxed 5km in warmer early morning weather than it has been in a while.

lousy 5

 Hoka

lousy 5km. Perfect Motzash run. Everything hurt. Everything was uncomfortable.

good 11

 On

Had a good 11km run just now, mid-day. Beautiful weather but slightly warmer than expected. Wanted to run earlier and longer but schedule got messed up unexpectedly. When finally able to run, I was really too tired to push for 15 or so. I considered just a short 5 or 6km run, and I considered pushing to 13 or 14 km. In the end after changing my mind during the run a dozen times, I ran 11km at a decent pace.
