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.

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…

When I was a child I had a dream… to be a shepherd. Something ignited by the goats and sheep coming down the hills behind our house on Carmel mountain. I loved the sounds of the bells and the calls of the Druze leading these herds. Going out there to the hills, at any season…
