Here’s a Monday blog brag. Congratulations to my sweet little neighbor Katlyn. She was part of an after school running program. She participated in her first run ~ Go St. Louis! She ran 1 mile without stopping! You can tell by the smile on her face that this is a special achievement.
These types of programs are great for kids because it teaches so much more than running. Kids learn how to set a goal, practice then achieve ~ lessons that are important in every day living. Let’s face it…a little running bling doesn’t hurt either! Fantastic work ~ we’re proud of you!!!

Thank you for bragging on my girl. She ran a full marathon over the course of many weeks followed by the Go St. Louis run. I think Girls on the Run is next for this girl. 🙂

I really like running programs and activities for kids, I think there is so much they can learn from running, and hopefully will help them discover and live a healthier lifestyle later on (when they get to make their own decisions about health/exercise/nutrition).

Agreed! It’s win-win.
