So Yesterday was the Opening Ceremonies at Tedi Stadium in Jerusalem. An amazing experience for sure. All the countries that marched in the stadium and the events. A very cool thing to be a part of. The transportation back to Tel Aviv was a bit of an experience put a bit of a downer on […]

Final Workout before I leave! 4 x Mile at Goal Pace
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/343374725 So today is it. The day I leave for Israel. I got up at 4:20am so I could meet Pete at the track to run this 4 x mile. We ran a mile warm up and cool down. The plan was to cruise these miles at 6:00 flat. Hopefully this was to feel easy. […]
An Early Morning Relaxed 11 Miles – Getting Close Now
http://connect.garmin.com/dashboard?cid=18305526 Today Coach Marino had me run a 80 minute run. He had worked on my hamstring yesterday and today it felt much better. I felt a little something but I think that was just soreness from the graston technique he perform on my hamstring. I had to get the run in early today so […]
70 Minute Run – Hammy still a bit sore
So tonight I had a 70 minute run in some decent heat, 86F and humid. The right hammy is still not 100%. I am “aware” of it but it is not altering my stride or causing me any pain. That said I was thinking about it each step so I am clearly not where […]
A Scare but Back on Track!
So Sunday was to be my last long run 18 miles. I ran hard and in brutal heat Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I felt good going into Sunday and thought I had hydrated properly. I had been taking electrolyte pills with plenty of water and that morning had filled water bottles with water with […]
Another Hot One! 10 Miles with 6 x 2min @ 6min/mi Pace..
The heat wave continues! This is good for my training for the Maccabiah Half Marathon. I started earlier but on the canal it was already hot and humid. Again, I have been working hard to hydrate properly. Today’s workout was 10 miles with 6 x 2 min at 6 min/mile pace. Due to the […]
Heat Acclimation Run!
For today’s run Coach Johnny had on the schedule an 8 mile run. I ran this at lunch to take advantage of the 90F heat. I have been making sure that I am hydrating and using electrolyte supplements as well. This seems to be working. Also being the middle of the day I made […]
Revolutionary Run – A Final Test in Brutal Conditions
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/337366272 So the plan had my final pre Maccabiah race as the Rev Run which is a 10K in Washington’s Crossing. I chose this race even though I hate it. It is not well organized and the race is run by the local business association not a running club or racing organization and it shows. […]
An Easier Start to the Week with July 4th 10K in View
So the beginning of this week was a bit easier. The goal here is back off just a touch to hopefully race well on July 4th as my last tune up before the Maccabiah Games. After the race on the 4th I will ram back up for a short bit before I begin to sharpen […]
A Tough Two Days
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/334771410 http://connect.garmin.com/activity/334538148 So the last two days have been interesting ones on my training. All has been going so well that a small set back is not really unexpected. So yesterday’s workout was to be 8 miles with 2 miles at sub 6 pace and the rest of it at a relaxed 7:30 or so. […]
