Girls On The Run 5K

Meredith joined an after school program called Girls On The Run this fall. Girls on the Run is a life-changing learning program for girls in grades 3-8th. The program combines training for a 5K (3.1 mile) running event with healthy living education. The program instills self-esteem and strong values through health education, life skills development, mentoring relationships and physical training - all of which are accomplished through an active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff and the community.

This is the team from North Star Elementary School.

Brendan was Meredith's running buddy.

Here they are approaching the finish line. They finished in about 40 minutes!
