So, does the Jerusalem Night Run half marathon count as part of my virtual run through Israel? Of course it does. Now I'm running along the Dead Sea, having passed kibbutz Kalia and Skhakha (nowadays called Qumran) where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, and the beautiful springs at Ein Fashcha. The end of the run for now is at Nachal Tmarim, the wadi of dates.
