Rain, Rain, Go Away

Darn weather forecast! They are predicting a wet afternoon for our second Girls on the Run session. But never fear. We have an indoor location that we can use in the school. Let your daughters know we will still meet in front of the office. However, if it is raining when you pick up your daughter at 4:45, you can find us in Room #5. If you don’t know where that is at, it’s between Room 4 and Room 6! (grin)

So, you may be curious how we coordinate a running program inside....we are too! We have a game plan though. Our discussion for this lesson revolves around the promises we make to ourselves (like “I promise to always trying my best”) and those that we make to others (like “I promise to do my homework”). Since the remainder of the program builds on these promises, we want to ensure every girl understands the commitment they are making. To help with this, we may take a bit more time to discuss them in the group.

As far our aerobic portion of our session, here’s where we will be extra creative. We may not run, but we are pretty sure our girls will break a sweat while they do various in-place exercises. Our focus at this point is to build their endurance so that they have the stamina to eventual continue running for 35-45 minutes (that's the average time for most of the girls to complete a 5k).

It should prove to be an interesting afternoon. As always, parents are welcome to join us. Don a pair of athletic shoes and come on out.

Hope to see you there!
