On Sunday I ran a 5K as part of the "Girls on the Run" event. Girls on the Run is a non-profit international org that supports promoting healthy lifestyles and building self-respect in the lives of young girls. The program has developed a whole curriculum that the girls follow throughout several weeks before leading up to the race. The lessons gear towards healthy development in their social, emotional, mental, spiritual and physical development. Our school offered this curriculum for our middle school girls as part of an after school activity.

The morning of the race was beautiful. The sun was shining and the temp was just perfect, 70 degrees. The race was held in Forest Park and this time of the year...it's gorgeous! All of the greenery and flower landscape made the run even more beautiful.
