Girls on the Run

This past weekend, the fifth grade girls did a 5k run called Girls on the Run. It is so neat! For a few weeks before, they practice afterschool and build up their running abilities. They feel empowered to be able to accomplish a run. Along with that, they talk about self esteem and treating others well (all the things a fifth grade girls needs).
I got the priveledge to run with few of my kids. I ran the race with Malayah and picked up a few more near the end. I more walked while the kids would sprint a few small sections and I quickly caught up. A 5k at the beginning of 8 months pregnant, I am happy!

My girls in the program: Yose, Malayah, Jasmine, Liliana, Nayeli, and Brisa.
So proud of them!
