I would LIKE to not hate running. Does that make you feel any better?
There’s the ING Marathon in Miami in January 31st, 2010 and one in Las Vegas DEcember 6th 2009. Chai Lifeline has a large group presence every year. If you sign up and join (and commit to raising abt. $1,500, they fly you down and you spend the weekend in a hotel w them), you have access to training and guidance from a top running coach.
There;s a marathon and 1/2 marathon option. I have lots of friends who’ve done it.

Actually I hate running and I enjoy it also. You might know what I mean. Sometimes I even feel a craving to run. I don’t though. Not yet
DO IT
will running about 20-30 minutes every day @ 7 mph keep me in shape if i eat relatively healthy foods?
yeah not that i’ve been doing it that long…about a week so far lol but i don’t really have time or patience to do it 4 that long
ya that’s the thing. i don’t have a set time that i run. it can be morning, afternoon, night, depending on the days schedule. i think as time goes on i’ll try to devote some more time 2 it…thanks for answering, though!
Yoshi: Are you really going to run in the NYC marathon? Hatzlochoh! I heard that there will be several Jewish groups running including Team Ohel and Soveya. There will even be a shacharis minyan at the runner’s village.
Used to run. 2 mi/day, often 6 days a week. This was back in the day when it was very un-frum to do. I would catch all manner of snide and nasty comments. I started with really crummy shoes, and sort of flat feet. Two years of that gave me plantar fasciitis. A sports podiatrist made me arches with one side about 3/4″ higher, because he measured from hip to ankle and there was a difference. With these and fancy shoes I lasted about a year of running untill it became too painful. Years later, I learned from chiropractors and Osteopaths, that it is possible to twist your pelvis by missing a step or other minor tramas, and that my legs were not 3/4″ off. In my Hazolah carrer, I would run as necessary, but today, I am just a 50+ that walks like a madman.
for all those running the marathon tomorrow…just something interesting to know: there will be 40 israelis running with/for mayor barkat (of jerusalem)…you might spot them with “team barkat” jackets 🙂
good luck!
So, yoshi, how was it? How did you do? Hope everything went well!
cousin won a medal
I usually run when i’m late for minyan, or when i have to move the car for alternate
side parking in the morning, this happens pretty often.
This is how I get my exercise.
Sometimes when the wind gets hold of my hat, I am also forced to run after it.
Somehow it almost always finds it’s way into a nice puddle.
This is how I get my mussar.
Sometimes when i go away on vacation I use the hotels exercise room.
When i’m on the treadmill I usually look in the mirror while running.
That is when I get my mussar & exercise simultaneously.
Congratulations yoshi!!
wow that’s incredible yoshi!!
congrats yoshi.
What was your time?
Hurray for Yoshi! That’s amazing!
Congratulations Yoshi!! Wow. What an inspiration!! Yasher Koach. May you continue to go onto bigger and better things…
I was actually at the expo on Friday (as an observer) and was at the marathon in Central Park (yes, also as an observer)…. I must say, I was floored and I actually cried a few times.
Watching people stream by me, from all walks of life, all ages, abilities etc, was cool. It hit me that each person trained for months even years to get to this point (I was watching at Mile 26.1). It really gave me alot of chizuk about sticking to goals and what can be accomplished with patience, fortitude and hard work…. If an amazing physical feat like this could be done, kal v’chomer the spiritual ones!!
As R’ Ratz says, “the physical world has hidden elements of the spiritual world in it. If you look right, you can learn about the spiritual world from almost all things physical…
Seeing the many kinds of disabled runners made me cry all over again…. 1 man with no arms, raised his tiny stubs (what his upper arms would be) amidst the soaring cheers, another hand cyclist had a prosthetic leg attached to the back of his bike, and plenty of others. Old people, heavy people, very short people…..some people and me thinking, “if they can do it, I can do it!”
26.2 just seems like so much.
Yoshi, tell us how you did it. What helped you through all the training, training and running the race?
Share with us some words of running wisdom.
First fifteen miles!? How far was your race?
Chamanit: First fifteen miles!? How far was your race?
If you read previous posts, you will see that Yoshi ran the NYC marathon – 26.2 miles.
Yoshi: Amazing story! Don’t know how you did it!!!
Time to bring this thread back up.
Apparently, stretches don’t help me as I still have lower leg pain after I run. I usually still run even with the pain but I have a feeling I might end up paying for that in the long run. Any suggestions?
