James Bond would have been proud. I arrived at the Marseilles airport, got a parking ticket from the El-Al desk, found a car with a specific license plate, took the key from under the front wheel, drove to a house somewhere in Provence and voila! I’m home. James doesn’t need to know that I didn’t understand how to put the car in reverse or that It took me 40 minutes to find the El-Al desk or that after each thing I did or place I arrived, the only thought in my head was ‘Alright… I’m here… Now what??’ . All that matters is that I successfully swapped houses with another family and that my Orbea is safely by my side. Read more »

On Saturday, I completed the Suntrust National Marathon in one hour, 54 minutes and 14 seconds. This is my third half marathon. The first one was in the lowest place on earth (the Dead Sea), the second was in the capital of Israel (Jerusalem) and this one was in the capital of the United States (You should know, man). There were 2,094 marathon participants and 4,151 half marathon participants. This made the race a bit of a zig zag at times, especially since all of the half marathoners ran together with the marathoners. Either way, it was nice to finally participate in a long distance race and breaking a personal record doesn’t hurt either.

Hustle Up The Hancock
The only thing better than taking an elevator is taking the stairs. Butterflies and monkey’s with red butts aside, I am proud to inform you that I have successfully climbed the Hancock tower (93 flights of stairs) in 17:28 and placed 40th in my category.

עשיתי זאת. רצתי את חצי מרתון ירושלים בפחות משעתיים. התוצאה שלי היא 1:56:38.50.(מקום 20 מתוך 40 בקטגוריה של נשים בגיל 20 עד 34). זה שיפור של בערך 7 דקות מהתוצאה של חצי מרתון עין-גדי (שבו התוצאה היית 2:03). להלן המסקנות: עדיף לרוץ את ירושלים מאשר לנהוג בה, לרוץ מרתון זה בהחלט אפשרי, וגם בריצה צריכים להיות חכמים.

סיימתי את החצי מרתון הראשון שלי.
אני מתכוונת לספר את כל האמת. כמובן שבסופו של דבר, כוווולם היו שם והנסיעה לעין גדי היית כיפית ויפנים חמודים עודדו אותי בדרך אבל … אני יוצאת מאוכזבת מאד מעצמי. כן, זה רק מירוץ וגם בקושי ישנתי כך שאולי ההרגשה שלי נובעת מהמרחק הקצר בין העפעפיים שלי אבל אני בהחלט מרגישה מאוכזבת מהתוצאה. Read more »
