We then did an energetic game where we split into 2 groups. Each group was assigned one of the sets of promises. Coach Tanya read the promises, and the group with that particular promise made a cheer to let everyone know what category the promise was in. The first few times, the group just cheered. But soon the crazy coaches joined the teams and the element of creativity entered. Coach Connie and Coach Bill replaced the group cheering with other expressive ways, such as arm flapping, eye lashes batting, and monkey screeching! There was lots of laughter to validate the fun that was abundant!
We were fortunate that the weather held out, and we could get in some running. The girls partnered up with each other and made a commitment to run a total of 12 laps between them. So long as the total laps ran was 12, it didn't matter how many each person did. Let us tell you....we have a running bunch of girls this season! 12 laps was nothing for this bunch. They seem to love the running part, and immediately took to the field.
As we cooled down, Coach Tanya presented each girl with their own GOTR journal. They also snacked on cheese crackers to replenish their energy level from all that running.
We hope you enjoy these photos. Remember that there isn't a GOTR session this Tuesday due to the holiday. When schools are closed, we won't have Girls on the Run. However, don't let that stop you from getting out there with your daughter and doing an evening walk (or even a trot.) Show them your support by asking them about the promises also.
We'll see everyone on Friday afternoon in front of the main office!
