Girls on the Run is so much Fun!

This Spring, Eyliana and I are both running a 5K! Yippee! When Katie was in 3rd and 4th grade, I coached 'Girls on the Run', which is a nation wide running program for girls. It is exciting that Eyli is now in 3rd grade, so she can participate. My good friend Tirza twisted my arm, and we agreed to coach together this season! This is a picture of Eyli and I with Tirza and her daughter, Gracie. We will run our big race on May 31 in downtown Grand Haven!! Luckily, the focus of the program is not ALL ABOUT running. The curriculum is geared to teach girls things about healthy habits, self-esteem, positive character traits, etc. And when we run in the 5K, it's not about who finishes first or last - but, that we all FINISH. Thank goodness, 'cause I'll finish towards the back of the pack...........

We are having a Blast and I hope the rest of the girls are loving it too. It is awesome to spend the time with our daughters - and with you my dear friend! Can't wait to struggle through finishing the 5k together! So thankful to enjoy this part of the journey together! ~Tirza
