5k Run at Lema Ranch
Eighty (80!) girls ran their first 5K run at the Lema Ranch trails to close our 2009 Spring Season!
It was a day of victory, celebration, and spirit! I am so proud of all you girls. 3 miles is a long distance – and each of these girls “toughed-it-out” and made it across the finish line.
I am also proud of the men and women who volunteered their time to come out on a cold morning to cheer for the girls, to run with them and keep them inspired to “go-the-distance.” They received nothing but the wonderful feeling that you get when you are there to see the glow on a girls face as she receives her medal and realizes that she is a runner and an athlete.
As coaches we are proud. As parents, we are proud. As community members, we are proud. As mentors, we are proud.
You girls are lit from within – and your light will shine on our community.
Thank you for being a part of the Girls On The Run family.
