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

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!
