Torah on the run

September 20, 2017 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
In a last ditch effort to master my Torah portion before performing it in front of 300 strangers at temple tomorrow, I set the recording of the chanted verses on repeat and then sang along out loud as I ran. I'm so used to singing in my own head when I run, I don't think I ever realized how out of breath you get when you attempt to sing with a recording at a fixed pace. You can't simply interrupt a word to come up for air. In any case, it paid off in the end. I must have listened to Genesis 23:3 about 25 times.
