... IS SO MUCH FUN!

Girls on the Run is SO MUCH FUN!

Faith participated in Girls on the Run this year. Girls on the run is an international program. On their website it says, 'Education and preparing girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.' It is so much more than running.

The vision of the program is:

  • To provide life-changing, high quality programs for girls
  • To provide life-changing and high quality experiences to the women developing and delivering the programs
  • To promote and provide an environment that allows girls and women to reach their full potential
  • To positively transform how girls and women perceive themselves and their place in society

Girls on the Run® is a life-changing, experiential learning programs for girls age eight to thirteen years old. The programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. The goals of the programs are to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development.

The kids

The ones who ran the 5K!

We ran 3.1 miles on a rolling hill course on Saturday, November 6th. It was a warm fall day - 64 degrees - which was absolutely perfect for running in. We did pretty good, considering that we had to stop a few times. Our time was about 48 minutes. Not bad for our first race.

Congratulations Faith on running such a great race and proving to yourself that you can do anything! We love you!
