We had a busy, busy day today.It all started with a 5K this morning at 8am. Anastasia has been in the Girls on the Run program for two years now, and today they had a community-wide non-competitive 5K event. It cracked me up, because every single girl wore the number 1. And it was a little shy of 5K (the chosen route was a quarter mile short of the 3.1 miles of a 5K). Girls on the Run is an experimental learning program for girls age eight to thirteen years old. The programs combine training for running with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. The goals of the programs are to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development. Anastasia has been training for twelve weeks.
Anastasia and I both participated. Not sure I can say I ran, since I mostly walked with others I found along the route... Lorraine, Mrs. Myhre, Katie, Tina. Anastasia was in the front of the pack for awhile, and beat me by a good ten minutes. I hope she stays active!

It sounds like a really great program!
That sounds like a really incredible program. Maybe if there had been something like that when I was a kid, I would have enjoyed physical activity. Good for her for staying involved!
I'm cracking up over your quote... seems to fit my mood today.
