Girls on the Run

Michaela and I before the race began!

On Saturday May 5th, I had the awesome opportunity of volunteering with my roommate Michaela at the Esplanade for the Girls on the Run 5K!  We were given the task of being course marshals, which meant we directed the runners as well as cheered them on.  I had a blast! It was wonderful to see such young girls run their very first 5K. 

Start of the race across from where I was standing.  Look at them go!

This program is in many states and I hope that I can get more involved with it in the future.  I know Salt Lake City has one, so maybe when I get home I can become one of the volunteers who runs with a girl.  I'm really glad I got to learn more about the program and volunteer here in Boston before I leave!  I think it's an inspiring program.  :)
