This week I got to go to Charlotte, NC for a few days. I was at a Girls on the Run training meeting for two days and I had a great time. Girls on the Run is a wonderful program that was started by Molly Barker. I had the privilege of meeting Molly and what a wonderful, fun person she is. The program is for young girls ages 8 to 13 to teach them how to have a positive self image of themselves and others. Throughout the program we also train with the girls, so that they are able to run a 5k at the end of the 12 week program. I have volunteered to be a coach and I'm also helping to get the program started here in Mankato. I was very inspired after the two day training. It was wonderful to hear Molly's story of what inspired her to start this amazing program. I am looking forward to starting our first season, which will hopefully start sometime after the first of the year. We got to know many of the ladies in our group and the first night after training about ten of us went out to dinner. It was fun to get to know these ladies and to hear some of the stories they had to share. For more information about GOTR, go to their official website at http://girlsontherun.org
