Upside of no fall? Running outside at the end of November

Recently many OTZMAniks have been missing the fall season. While most of us look forward to changing leaves and crisp cool fall air during fall, this year we haven’t even seen cold weather in Ashkelon. While it’s disappointing to miss something I have gotten used to over the past five years, the upside is that it is warm enough to go running outside. For the past few weeks, I have been running 5-6 times a week. While I started by only running a mile, recently I have been either running 1.75 miles or 2.4 miles (depending on the day). It’s been really nice to be able to get outside and be active as I sit inside all morning learning Hebrew. Hopefully I continue to run in the next few phases of my program so that come Spain at the end of December I will be in shape like the rest of my family.

Not much else to report. I am looking forward to OTZMA’s version of thanksgiving on Thursday. While it will not be my normal thanksgiving at home in Texas with my family (including my grandparents), hopefully it will feel a little like home. I will definitely write about it next week.
Hope all is well in the states.
