Today was the Jerusalem Marathon. A perfect weather day: slightly overcast, temperature between 9C and 12C, and little wind. I saw a bunch of the marathoners that were probably between a 3:40 and 4:20 pace come through Emek Refaim when I was out running errands.
It's a beautiful route through the city, but the elevation is punishing. They call it the "Breathtaking Jerusalem Winter Marathon". I'm not sure if they meant "breathtaking" to be such a pun -- up and down the hills of this city will take your breath away, and if that doesn't do it the views should!
