I am so proud of Ali & Mandi. They ran their first ever 5K today. Mandi (who didn't like getting off the couch...) has been in an after school running program for 10 weeks. It is called: "Girls On The Run" She has been training twice a week. It has been great for her self esteem. Yesterday we found out Ali could sign up and race with her so she wouldn't have to run alone. It was so cold and windy. They did a great job, both coming through the finish line around 40 minutes!! We held up signs of encouragement that they saw at the halfway point. All the runners got medals when they finished. They had a great time. Mandi is ready to sign up for the next 10 week class, and Ali asked to start running in some of the city 5K's!!!
