I have been doing my morning prayers almost every morning (only missed one I think). And since I’ve been using the new prayerbook, and thinking about each prayer as I say it, and making a decision each time about wether to say it in Hebrew, English, or do one of the interpretive readings … Its going VERY well. I really love doing it. Its a great way to get my mind off my own misery and happy to be alive. I think I’ll leave it on the list another 3 months, before I really consider that its in my life and done.

How I did it: About a year and a half ago I started going to the gym. Five months later I did my first ever run - 5km. I was amazed that I could do it. A few months later I did a 10km run, and then a 14km run. By that stage it was clear to me that I could run, and decided to set a goal of a half marathon in another year. However along the way, I thought I'd try out doing a triathlon. I heard about a beginner's triathlon in my city, and decided tha… Read how I did it…
I’ve been going 3 times a week since my last entry. Not doing it every time at 6am – but making sure I schedule it in. Also have made it a part of my training for the triathlon on Nov 22nd.
Yesterday I paid my fee and entered a beginners triathlon for 22nd November. I’ve started doing 2 swims (in a swimming pool) a week, and riding my bike 3 times a week (this week I did 2 big rides and 1 small one) and continue going to the gym 3 times a week. I think having the physical goal is helping with doing my PhD and marking, and just general living.
