I did it, I did it! I ran my first Silicon Valley Turkey Trot, and it was awesome!
More that 14K people showed up on Thanksgiving morning to run 5K or 10K and have fun. Many runners were dressed up.
It seemed the whole city was running, and it was a very special feeling to be a part of it.
I did 5K, and finished at 35:31. Still didn’t beat my PR of 35:17 but I had such a great time.

And after:
I haven’t heard about it until today: the first Wednesday of June is National Running Day! It is a great idea to celebrate passion for running coast-to-coast. Too bad I can’t run today (many many reasons) but hope I can do it this Thursday or Friday. For now, a few motivational images I found online:
Women’s Day today. Although we don’t celebrate it here in the States, I always wish Happy Women’s Day to my Russian girlfriends here and back in Russia. For me personally it turned into Women’s Friendship Day: I am very happy to hear from other girls – friends, colleagues and just acquitances – and share this special women’s power we all possess. Plus, it is a great reason to remind ourselves we are the best.
Sportswise I did Level 1 of Jillian’s “30 Day Shred”, and also shared a cool motivational pic from her Facebook page. Many girls on FB liked and shared it too. True message, that’s why.
Thinking I will be reposting some great motivational pics. Feeling good and very committed to delivering results.
