Once again, I participated in the 10 km popular race “San Silvestre Vallecana” in Madrid, on 31st December. I always have many reasons to run but a new one was added on my list this year, Kilimanjaro Challenge! This race is very exciting, 40,000 participants running 10km in the most special and magic evening of the year while thousands of people are encouraging the runners in the streets. As a tradition, I run it with my brother and nephews (well, we start together😊) and I can’t describe the emotion I feel when I cross the finish lane after 10k and I meet them, waiting for me there. I did it in 1:13 in streets (I could have done it in less as in some parts of the race it was difficult to run with so many people), but time is not the important thing here, only effort, emotion, reasons, fight, goals and having fun!! #happy #family #emotion #sports #effort #magic

Well done, Ana – it looks a truly amazing experience and a great way to start 2020.
thanks Kirsty, it is indeed!! I also thought about Kili in the worst part of the race…., not even close but mind is important to tell yourself “you can do it”!!! We will do it, Kirsty!
