Ghouls on the Run

Girls on the run is a national program designed to get young girls in grade school up to 6th grade out and exercising. They meet a couple times a week with volunteer coaches after school. They play running games and do some running base. The culmination is a 5 K fun run twice a year.

This year - Hill school did not have a coach and Abigail has moved on to Scott Middle school. She was able to run with the Jr. High cross country team and that helped fill the void left from moving onto jr. high.

The girls on the run is such a great program and I wish that someone would do it for the boys too.

This pic is from The Ghouls on the run today. She was 2nd overall and 1'st female. Tough very windy day with 40 mph gusts...white caps on Holmes lake. Race was a 5 K...was probably shorter due some last minute course changes because the wind was enough the organizers were concerned with the kids running across the dam and catching sail off the top...That would have been interesting.
