I have no air, my head turns, and it feels like almost fainting. I’ve been fighting every step for the last 15 minutes. It cannot be that after only 20 km I will be the first to withdraw from the race… On the other hand, I have a family to get back to,  and what…

Time flies, and its time to pack, board the plane and start the final part of this journey. Nothing much to add but the excitement, butterflies in my stomach, much anticipation for this adventure. Can not wait to see the place, smell the air, feel the soil under my feet. Along the way, Lilach “fed”…

We lived at the end of town, up on Mt Carmel, where the shepherds used to come with their sheep and goat herds to the hills by our neighborhood. I remember long days of strolling on these hills, trying to figure out the animals visiting at night by their tracks. Watching the seasons changing the…

If you feel like ‘like’ or ‘comment’ at the end of the post, then instead, go to Yadid Lachinuch Eng. / עברית OR PERTHES KIDS FOUNDATION and spend this short time to support and donate 1 dollar or more to these great activities. Thirty (30) days to Gobi March 2019… wow! So my head deals with “the plan”, how should I handle the race, each…

The GobiMarch2019 is only 36 days away. As much as I was excited think of this race, planning, training, dreaming… 36 days feels like NOW. This journey started as a very personal one… and evolved into raising awareness for two organizations, Yadid Lachinuch and the Perthes Kids Foundation. Now, when the start line seems at…

Training for long distance runs requires allocating significant time, and people often ask “how do you do this?” or “why?” or “where do you find motivation?” and a bunch of other questions. There is probably no single and clear answer to this, and it is probably very different from one person to the other. To…

When I started taking running seriously, I got used to train under any weather and circumstances. Under this change I did in my life, the idea was to avoid giving up training, not letting myself to find excuses for not running. Then, post marathon distances meant training for longer distances at least once a week,…

It is 120 days now to Gobimarch 2019, and as I complete all the necessary equipment (in a later post), it is time to ramp up the training program. March has been such a month… tens of training hours, night, day, mornings, evenings. As this time of the year is probably the most amazing time…

This one goes for one of the goals set towards my race: raising awareness to Perthes disease, and to the wonderful work of the PERTHES KIDS FOUNDATION. When I was 8 years old I was diagnosed with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, a degenerative hip bone disorder (a rare form of osteonecrosis or avascular necrosis), that makes it…

Sometimes you have to simply let it go… of all the runs and the training, got injured while trying to be the best student during a Pilates session, would you believe it? It has been about 6 weeks since I stopped my running training. It all started with a needle pain at the top of…
