I just wanted to take a second to brag on my oldest daughter, Loxley, who will be 11 in a week. She started Girls on the Run this year. GOTR is an awesome organization for girls. It gets them active, teaches them about teamwork and self esteem, and these girls form great friendships with each other. GOTR is the reason I started running.
Today we ran the Run for the Money 5k. It's a local charity event, and this was our first time running in it. It was also my sisters first 5k. I must say she did very well for her first time. She ran the whole 5k! So did Loxley! I was very proud of her. This is the first time she has ran a full 5k without stopping! She has done well this year, and this was her fourth race. She was determined to run the whole race. Every time I asked her if she wanted to stop she would shake her head and keep on going. She stuck with it and crossed the finish line running! She had a goal and pushed herself to achieve it. She gave it her all, and I am very proud of her! I just wanted to have a 'mommy moment' and do a little bragging. We are proud of our girl on the run!
