My second run of the year- the Zayed Sports City 10(ish)K. A fitting photo for a beautiful day!


AND I had some friends there:

What have I done? #Homesick #Lonely

It finally hit. I have literally  moved to the other side of the world.  Both this and yesterday mornings I awakened after a fantastic night's sleep and cried when I realized I am still here.

I prayed the entire drive back to Tel Aviv (about an hour on Shabbat with minimal traffic). It was 10:30 p.m. and really cold. Although I felt safe--Israeli's are very helpful when you are in trouble, I could just foresee the hassle of breaking down on the highway, having to navigate the towing company from Tel Aviv...blah, blah, blah. I made it back to my street by the grace of God and even got a park...
