So here I am after 6 months from the date I started running... When I started, I couldn’t run more than 2 minutes without stopping due to high heart rate and a feeling of hard asthma attack… and now, I find myself after 6 half marathons, running between 60km to 70km per week… and I just loving it! But… Is it because I can run with no pains anymore? Is it because it gives me an hour or two to disconnect? Is it because the love of my life, Simona, Idan and Amit, admire the change in me and it makes them happy? Is it because my family and friends are inspired and they too started to run, such as Ami Solomon which couldn’t run, started by walking and last week finished his first half marathon? Is it because I am an example to others - if I can do it, then anyone can! And the feeling of making the life of others better? Is it because I can run faster and longer than ever? Is it because I love the smell of early mornings – dew, grass, trees and listening to birds while running? Is it because I am more connected to my body? Is it because I witness progress on a weekly basis – heart rate decreasing while running faster? Is it because I love to be part of a wonderful group of people, which follows Meny Koren a professional and a great trainer, called O2 Sport - Professional Sports Training Is it because I enjoy reading, listening and learning on the tight connection between nutrition and exercise from a group of professionals and amazing people - Yair Lahav, Sima Peled (https://facebook/sima.peleg.3), Adi Bushari and Naomi Gavish Lahav (which guided and helped me reach 65kg with less than 13% fat)? It must be all! Or for the basic fact that I was born to run :-) Here are some of the highlights and photos from last few events: 31/7/2013 Stevens Creek Trial, Sunnyvale, CA (10km, private run) – 00:50:08 23/7/2013 Half Marathon Maccabiah 2013 – 2:00:47 11/7/2013 Half Marathon, Central Park NYC (private run) – 2:00:33 5/7/2013 Brooks Trail Run – Jerusalem Mountains 2013 (20km) – 2:09:59 20/6/2013 Brooks Marathonya Night Run Tel-Aviv 2013 (10km) – 0:54:08
