lousy 5

a lousy 5km run this morning, but a run nonetheless. I was kind of hoping to get in 8 today, but everything just hurt and nothing was in sync. I could have forced myself but I felt it was better to just stop  at 5. Save it for another day

6.4km post recovery

got in a good 6.4km run this morning. I thought so soon after last night's run that this woujld be slow and I'd feel tired and heavy legs but I felt great and it always surprises me that this works in this way and so soon after a recovery run I can run again at a decent speed

6.25km recovery

Got a good slow recovery run in tonight. 6.25km. Nothing exciting or unexpected. just running

surprising 14.5

strange morning. I woke up very early to run, but got a little bit of a late start. it just took me longer to get ready than normal, even taking into account that I was watching the last few innings of the Cubs game (they won!).

I finally got out, planning to run about 13km and found myself just not feeling it. I was slow but also disinterested and just not in my normal groove. The weather was great and the sky was turning a beautiful blue dotted with small white clouds, so I decided to try to force myself to 9-10km, all in the neighborhood, and that would be enough.

By the time I was pushing 8km I decided to just add on going out on the 10 to the 375 and back and that should give me about 13, maybe 13.5km. So I did. At the end of the 10 I expended it a bit for a good spot for a pit stop, and then ran back. At the end my run concluded at 14.5km, and I am not sure where I miscalculated. I never really got into a groove. It was slow going all the way. I ran, I finished. I exceeded my expectations.

6.3 average km

got a little late start but was pleasantly surprised to be able to run. The forecasts had expected early morning thunderstorms scheduled for just when I normally run. Blue skies told me otherwise, so out I went. I ran 6.3km and even got to see Tzvi in the process. Last week I made the mistake of running a relatively fast 10km on Thursday but then on Friday I felt lousy. Hopefully keeping the run today to average will allow me to have a good long run tomorrow - and hopefully the weather will allow it as well.

humid 6.5km

I woke up early but was very tired. Thankfully I was conscious enough to consider that if I go back to sleep I might not be able to run at all today because I wont have time at least until early afternoon and th eforecast is calling for serious rains On the other hand, I was too tired and tempted to say, go back to sleep and see what happens later, later. I decided to get up and go out.

I got in a nice run, though it was a bit humid. I had been planning for a short run anyway, but at some point decided to extend it just a bit and concluded my run at 6.5km.

7km slow

7km on a nice morning run. I planned for 5, then extended it to 6, then extended it to 7. Was a bit slow but not horrible and it felt good rather than laborious so I just kept at it.

10km on a Monday morning

If you think I missed out my run today and broke my streak of consecutive running days, you would be wrong. I did wake up early to run but felt very tired and decided to go back to sleep for another hour. When I got up t was too late to run, so that was that. Happily I was able to get the run in after taking care of some work and personal matters, and before the sun got too hot in the day.

I ran 10km in the beautiful sunny weather with still coolish, though warming, air. A little bit slower than I expected, but a good steady and solid run.

5km

got in a tired but solid 5km run this morning. The temps were a bit chillier than expected, with some raindrops in the air. Thought abut waiting for a possible mid-day run but being unsure of both my availability for such a run today and the forecast for rain, I figured a less strong run is better than no run...

8.5 Motzash

8.5km Motzash run. Felt much better than on Friday. Had a good, smooth, slow run but felt good all the way

slow 5

that was a lousy run, but at least I ran. Right when I got up I knew it wouldn't be good. I felt tired, not even sleepy, just tired and heavy and lethargic. It took me a much longer time to get ready to go out. When I finally got out I felt heavy, I felt the bbq from yesterday, and my whole body felt tired. I was running at a slower pace than I remember running ever.

But I ran.

I cut it short at 5km rather than stretch out the longish run I was planning to run and expecting, but at least I ran.

A celebratory 10km

after waking up early t run, I somehow went back to sleep. I dont even remember choosing to do so, so I am not sure what happened. WHen I woke up much later, I thought to myself that I would not be able to run, as it is already too late and soon it will be too hot. Then I realized that with no work today and no need to rush to get the kids out to school, because of Yom Haatzmaut, I could still go out for a run with no time constraints. So I did.

And I did not even have a distance plan. I figured I'll just run until I am finished. So I did.

I was enjoying the run, the sun, the good weather. The temps were reasonable but already getting a bit warm, and my pace was mostly decent. So I just kept going. I finished my run at 10km. I am not sure how this will affect tomorrow's long run, but anyways I was thinking of pulling back a bit on the distance this week and keeping it below last week's high of 15, so maybe I'll stick to that plan and even drop the distance a little more. I guess I'll decide tomorrow.

8 on 8

I woke up nice and early today and had enough time for a good run with slightly more distance. While listening to the last few innings of the Cubs game (which they lost), I ran 8.5km, starting with my run across Kishon and Hayarden and then climbing Hayarqon and partially up Hayarden until turning around and heading back.

The air felt a little warmer today for so early in the morning, but it was still pleasant.

I havent looked back, but this seems to me to be my 8th consecutive day running, so 8ish km seems appropriate

6km

another 6km run. felt good. legs were a little tired but much less than the past couple of days. cant ask for more than this - the ability to run a bit in great weather on a beautiful morning with fresh air

6 for 6

I was looking forward to running 8-9km this morning, expecting my legs to feel strong and fresh after yesterday's recovery run. In reality they felt like lead bricks and running was relatively difficult and felt forced. I cut it short at 6km. I did just realize that that if I am counting right this is now my 6th consecutive day of running.
