Is there anyone who wants to volunteer at a girls on the run event? It is this Sunday at 1:30 at Admiral bird middle school. It is very light duty. Ideally, there would be a couple of people in the front to paste the run and a couple of people in the back to be the sweep. It’s a lot of fun. I’ve done it in the past if so, please let me know and I will give you all of the details.

Do we bring bicycles?  When we pace/sweep, will we be running?

They want you to bring your bikes and they want you to be on the bikes to pace to sweep. You actually don’t want the rider you wanna be ahead of the rider and then for the sweep you wanna be behind the whole group. I am usually the sweep and I can tell you that sometimes it’s easier to walk the bike then ride the bike you’re gonna have runners from age 5 to age 18 summer gonna walk it summer gonna try for their personal best. The whole point of girls on the run is to teach self-esteem through accomplishing a 5K and total inclusiveness each runner is paired with the Buddy who runs with them or walks with them. They also have groups after school that teach girls self-esteem. It’s a really cool program.

Kudos for T.C . (Teresa Miller) for coming out to help with the Girls On The Run despite the crazy wind. It's  easier to have at least 2 riders to lead and sweep. There was a good turnout of participants.

Thank you Len and TC for your service to this great group. I contracted the nasty cold that is going around otherwise I would’ve been there too. Thank you for doing this.
