Running

I firmly believe running is one of the resources that humanity is underutilizing the most.

For me it's an anchor, a way to ground myself and sort through my thoughts. It's like a washing machine for the mind. More than just physical exercise, running builds resilience, willpower, and tenacity. It's a great way to strengthen self-efficacy and push past your limits. 

Running has taught me a few valuable lessons and often, it's while I'm running that I come up with my best ideas and insights.

A Few More Memorable Runs

• My first Marathon- Tel Aviv 2018 Marathon: 3:23:31. A significant milestone in my running journey.
• Running in Sync with Thousands of Crabs-  While running barefoot near Kosi Lake (Kuhlange) on the border of South Africa and Mozambique,  thousands of crabs would scatter away as I approached and then return towards the shore once I passed, creating a back-and-forth movement like an accordion or a sinus wave. 
• Running With an Elite Pack- Briefly kept pace with the second pack of about ten elite runners in my team, feeling a thrilling sense of running in a pack of pumas, for an intense 8 km.
• Running with an African Colonel in Muizenberg- After running barefoot in a local race and finishing third, I joined a colonel for a challenging run in the hills above Muizenberg's coast, an unexpected and tough uphill adventure.
• Golan Volcano Run-  30 km trail run, climbing six dormant volcanoes, with stunning views and a tough moment of full-body cramps before the sixth volcano. I took two salt pills and continued to the finish line.
