celebrate 25 years with girls on the run!

March 24, 2021      9 Comments

On Thursday, we celebrate 25 years with Girls On The Run. GOTR is an incredible organization, dedicated to “inspiring girls to know and activate their limitless potential and boldly pursue their dreams.” For one quarter of a century, this group empowered girls through the sport of running, teaching important life skills and providing valuable experiences they could carry with them through their lives.

How are we celebrating?

#RunForGirls Virtual 5K

At any point during the day on March 25, join us for the #RunForGirls Virtual 5K with More Miles Races and FRÉ Skincare. The cost of registration is only $5, and all proceeds go directly to Girls On The Run. Additional donations are also welcome. Every participant will receive a “how to prep for 5k” running package with Coach Alyssa Olenick and is eligible to win exclusive FRÉ wear! This is a great way to come together and support the girls in our areas, and I am so excited to to make it happen!

25th Virtual Birthday Party

At 7:00PM ET on Thursday, March 25, join the Virtual Birthday Party by livestream. The event is free (although you can upgrade to some great packages at an additional cost). Keynote speaker Hoda Ktob is just part of the exciting lineup for the evening. Hear from GOTR CEO, Elizabeth Kunz, as well as a panel of experts and athletes, speaking on how to help girls grow their confidence and strength through this phenomenal program.

Get Involved

Whether or not you can participate in the above events, you can always get involved. As a non-profit, GOTR always appreciates financial support: you can donate here if you are so inclined.

If you can make the gift of your time, the program needs people to coach and volunteer with the enrolled girls. You can make such an impact with your presence and influence, and it is so very welcome.

You can also support the organization by running GOTR 5Ks, or races where GOTR is featured as a charity partner. I’m so proud to be a part of races like The Cupcake Run for several events, including the most recent (virtual) endeavor

    As we will be travelling tomorrow Thursday, I will do the 5k run today!
    The GOTR sounds like an awesome organization. Do you know whether they operate internationally?
    I would love to get involved in something like this in South Africa. It could make an enormous difference to many girls’ lives here.

    I love girls on the run! I miss coaching so much. Obviously it was canceled this past year but I have coached the last 7 years. It’s a fabulous program

    Wow! I didn’t know that Girls on the Run had been around that long. It’s such a great organization and does do much to help girls. The virtual half marathon I’m doing in April benefits GOTR.

    My #5at5 got rained out this morning, so that’s happening tomorrow instead. I’ll check out the site to register (I’ll just do the virtual 5K with a couple of bonus miles).

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
