Girls on the Run New Balance 5K

On Sunday, November 21, 2010 I had the New Balance 5K in Basking Ridge, NJ with my Girls on the Run team.  It was a beautiful day for running and I wish I had more time to take some pictures, but since I was running I had to get my camera back in the car before the start.  The first picture is a group of our girls before the race and the second picture my husband took of me and Denise.  I was so proud to see all of our girls finish and am already looking forward to the Spring 2011 season.

Girls on the Run of NJ East

This past Fall I started coaching a Girls on the Run team in Summit, NJ. Girls on the Run is a 12 week esteem program for girls between the ages of 3rd to 5th grade that focuses on a healthy lifestyle.  At each practice we have a different topic we focus on and end the practice with a workout (laps around a track, or in our instance a park).  I want to give a huge THANK YOU to Denise Holan, the friend of mine that got me involved.  I have had a blast working with these girls and hope they learned as much as I did this season.  More information about Girls on the Run of NJ East can be found at GOTR-NJ EAST
