5.4 km

I saw this while running, so after the run, I got my camera and went to take some pictures. What you are looking at is the memorial for IDF soldiers from our town that were killed in the line of duty, serving their country. It's basically a wall with very bright lights illuminating the names. Yesterday it rained, and now there's a puddle. The lights are so bright that when I get off the bus and turn the corner I'm blinded by them. They must also be hot. Just look at it.





So cool.

I just realized that yesterday I ran 5.4 km in 35 minutes. That's actually pretty fast for me. It's almost the pace that I ran during my 8 km race. Obviously there's a huge difference between 8 km and 5.4 km, but there's also a huge difference between running in the heat and sun and running at night, through puddles. I was too nervous to keep running yesterday. These tests are getting to me. But I will run a long run on Sat. I will not skip my long run.

That memorial looks both haunting and beautiful.

Keep up the great work, Daphna!
