Sage got to participate in this great program called Girls On The Run. She came home begging to do it, and I'm so glad she did. It was so great! A group of girls from her school would meet once a week for like three months to train for a 5k. They did lots of running, but they also talked a lot about self-esteem and how to support each other. The final event was a 5k yesterday at Sugarhouse Park. Schools all over the state have this program, and they all came together yesterday for a 5k. Every girl had a running buddy for the race. I got to run with Sage. We had so much fun and she did a great job! She got her best time ever and finished in just under 27 minutes! It was so great to see so many girls having so much fun and supporting each other. Such a great program! Hopefully we can do it next year too!

Towards the end. She was getting tired. And the people walking are people she lapped! |
Finished! |
It was freezing when we got there, but ended up being perfect weather for the race. |

I love that program too. Alyssa did it the first year she had her trach and rocked the 5k.
