Victoria Runs her First 5K!!

And are we proud of her! She participated in a program through her school called "Girls on the Run." It's sponsored by New Balance and is all about building self-esteem. Victoria loved it---especially the pink and green running shoes. It's a commitment---you get the shoes, but then you can't quit. At each meeting, they have a snack, self-esteem discussion and then some sort of activity leading up to the 5K. 

When they actually worked up to the 5K, Victoria felt like it was too hard. By the next meeting, she admitted that it got easier. What an accomplishment for an almost 10 year old. Her grandpa is working up to a 5K himself. Maybe they can eventually do one together. As for me---I'll cheer them on---although I could be all over the pink and green shoes!
