Gaza war 2014: Day 8/9. A bit of running, lots of worrying.

Running:
Friday did a nice tempo run on treadmill (6.22 miles @ 45:00, with a good effort 4.1 miles with .5@7:08, 3@6:40, .6@6:27). All at 1.5%+ incline. Slowly starting to improve fitness, but a long way to go back to marathon shape.

Today went for a 11.2 run (planned 13, but was feeling like crap). Hot, humid, and congestion+cold have come back. Not a pleasant run at all. Some nice hills, and brought a gatorade. Result: 8:55 pace.

Israel:
My running friend living in Israel posted that he had to cut his run short, twice, due to sirens in Modi'in. He joked it may be the end of his running career. Starting to wonder how I will get long runs in, with sirens going off almost every day in Zichron and Haifa.

Wondering if i should buy a treadmill, or if there will be any races this year, not with the "forecast" of "fireworks" every day and night.

On top of all this, reports are not done, family is worried, i am checking Israeli news obsessively (not productive). Will find out whether i can postpone flights to Israel, either for the whole family or for just wife and kids.
