This is why I try to get Little Diva involved in all sorts of activities. Despite what some people may think, I have never pushed her into anything ... especially running. She gets a thrill out of participating in activities ... and making new friends at each stop along the way. We've tried running, piano, hip-hop, swimming, karate, gymnastics, mommy-and-me yoga, t-ball and drama class (just off the top of my head). I figure if I can get a cheap rate for a 6-8 week program, she can give it a try. We aren't committed to anything and if she doesn't like it, we can try something else.
This is why I love Girls on the Run. I have been passionate about the Girls on the Run Organization for quite some time now. I just love what they do to motivate young girls and young women to get active, believe in themselves and build confidence. I think it's totally awesome that I can get passed by a nine year old little girl that's clomping her feet along a 5K course -- more power to her!!!

ReplyDeleteI would definitely share this with my daughter. She's been in the jogging stroller up until this year and now she thinks she can keep up with me. I can't wait until she's old enough to run with me (or more likely start with me and finish a whole lot faster).
ReplyDeleteI made a donation.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Bondi Bands on FB already.
ReplyDeleteI would love M.C. from Go! Go! Sports Girls for my daughter. Or Cassie. It would be hard to choose.
ReplyDeletePink shirt from iRunLikeaGirl! there is nothing better than pink for a little girl.
ReplyDeleteWe'd love the pink plaid mommy and me Running Skirts. We have a couple races coming up that the kids will be participating in the kids' races and we'd wear the outfit to all of them!

ReplyDeleteI have two daughters (age 10 and 7 1/2), so we'd probably have to get an additional outfit so all three of us could match! I am helping them train for a 5K in May - so we would wear it at that race!
ReplyDeleteI am going to make a donation - I just have to figure out how to do it! :) I will let you know when I do!

ReplyDeleteI'm now a follower :) Awesome blog.
ReplyDeleteI have two little girls who are my biggest fans when I run. Makenna is almost 9 and has ran a couple 5K's with me. We now live where it is safe to run down our road together and I cherish each time we do. She is so excited about running. I want to keep that excitement going. I would love to share the gift of running with her together as long as she loves it. She inspires me and I'd love to do the same for her. I can't even imagine how excited she'd be to win this :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Running Skirts!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter LOVES orange so I would probably try to do a mommy and me outfit from Running Skirts using that skirt. Plus, it would benefit the Chelsea's Light Foundation. She also likes the plaid skirts.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Girls On The Run on Facebook :)
ReplyDeleteI just donated to Girls On The Run!!!! I hope it helps. What a great organization.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Bondi Bands on Facebook :)
ReplyDeleteWe'd probably choose black for our I Run Like A Girl shirt so it could go with any color running skirt or accessory :) The pink is cute too.
ReplyDeleteFor the Go Go Sports Girl we'd probably pick Cassie or Ella. Not only does my girl love running but she loves soccer too. Great cross training, right? :)
