It's fitting that on thanksgiving day, I was able to lace up to do one of the things I am grateful for: run. Whether you choose to go alone or with loved ones, running brings people together, teaches you about yourself and is an avenue through which God has showed me His constant love and support regardless of anything I achieve or don't achieve. The Silicon Valley Turkey Trot was a great way to celebrate being thankful! The weather was beautiful and it was a fun way to kick off "turkey day", here's a highlight video from flotrack and some pictures from the race:

Watch more video of 2012 Silicon Valley Turkey Trot on flotrack.org
