We signed Reina up for Girls on the Run at her school earlier in the summer. She wasn't too exited about that decision but I'd heard great things about the program and not-so-secretly, I think Reina could really enjoy running in the future and I think she's a natural! She's tired of hearing me say that but her stride is so natural and it looks effortless. So anyway. She started the 12-week Girls on the Run program in September and ran her final 5k race this morning. She finished in under 45 minutes and I'm so proud of her! The path was icy and it was a really chilly morning but she kept putting one foot in front of the other and crossed the finish line. I hope there are a lot more family 5k's in our future.
