Girls On The Run



Girls on The Run is a super cool new running program which started at our school this year.

Lexi joined about 40 other girls in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade train twice a week for 8 weeks. 

Not only did they run and learn that running is always an outlet, they learned to block the negative and look for the positive in all girls. 

They also learned to lean on each other as girls ROCK!

And they learned to set goals and see them through!  At the beginning of the program, all the girls set the goal of completing a 5K.  They could walk or run it as long as it was done with joy.

 

November 5, 2011 was the big day!

We went to Steamboat for the Girls on the Run 5K.

Here is Lexi's support team!

Not only was it a great group of girls, they had an amazing group of lady coaches including the school Principal and several teachers.

And they're off.

All of the sudden, we noticed Jeremiah was gone......

Well, he had mentioned wanted to run in the race..............

After looking around for a few minutes, we realized he must have taken off with Lexi.

 

And sure enough, he had run the 5K too and ran into the finish line next to his sister, cheering her on.

Way to go Lexi!  We are proud of you for setting a goal and accomplishing it!!
