Since last year Abigail has been excited to be in Girls on the Run once she got to third grade. Unfortunately no one stepped up to lead the team this year so Colin and I volunteered. :) With the help of awesome coaches we had a great 12 weeks with 14 awesome girls. The concept of GOTR is awesome...teaching girls about self-esteem, positive attitudes and how to be great girls and friends while also training for a 5K. Most of these girls struggled with the running at first and I'm thrilled to say that they ALL finished their 5K in Allegan on May 18, some with a very, very good time! I'm so proud of Abby and all of the girls and how much they've grown, both physically and internally. We already can't wait until next year!

All the girls - love them!
They make a good team, don't they?
Pre-5K stretching
Coming to the finish line, running with Daddy. I think that was HUGE for Colin. :)
All smiles and 5K later...so proud of her!
