Nothing like the first time

This morning I’ve joined the excitement of my girls that started their first grade in school.


Last night, I’ve joined the excitement of friends (and of the first lady) that did their first 10k race in the Tel-Aviv night run – the Nike Human race.


The second most exciting thing, after doing something for the first time, is “soaking” the excitement of someone close going through their first time. The first grade experience, watching the excitement/fear/happiness on the girls’ faces was very emotional.

***Ilai also started his new trom-trom kindergarden today – excited for you to gever


The night run was amazing. The largest Israeli race ever, perfect organization, great atmosphere. The scenery and feeling was similar to big races in the major cities of the world. Tel-Aviv was not included to be among the participating cities and does not appear on the cities list at the back of the red shirt or the global results list. Only heavy pressure of the local Nike agent managed to add Tel-Aviv to New York, London, Seoul & San Paulo.


Now no one can ignore that:
1) Tel-Aviv is on the global map
2) Tel-Aviv is RED




Have a great week & a fabulous year!
