Race for the Cure

Girls on the RunHi gals,

I just wanted to share that I ran the Komen Race for the Cure on Saturday as a running buddy for Girls on the Run. If you’re not familiar, the Race for the Cure is the largest series of 5K (3.1 miles) runs and fitness walks in the world, with more than 1 million participants since 2005. Proceeds from the Races, which are held in cities across the globe, go towards breast cancer research and awareness.

Girls on the Run works with tween girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running. I’ve been a coach with Girls on the Run for a few years, but this year, decided to be a running buddy instead. So my job was to run the Race for the Cure with a wonderful 4th grade girl named Stella. It was her first race, and we had a blast running and chatting and being a part of such an incredible day.

I hope you all enjoyed the first official weekend of summer!

XOXO Debbie
