BIOGirls

Paige was part of a really great club for the past 14 weeks.  BIOGirls met every Tuesday night and focused on remembering that everyone is beautiful INSIDE and OUT.  They talked, did activities, and ended every class with a running workout. Their final goal was the Fargo 5K, but they did so much on the road to the final race.  ....

Every class ended with their motto.......In and Out.......I Count

They kept journals that focused on what they were good at and what they were thankful for....

They ran a mile at a college track meet.

Which ended in a little celebration....

They even got to help prepare the bags in preparation of the Marathon events.

 And then the big day came....

At our house nerves and emotions were running a LITTLE high.....

Thank goodness friends make everything a little less scary...

And they were off....

Over this journey we learned a little about Paige and her motivational needs :)  She is definitely encouraged by others and their excitement.  Anytime she is near people cheering for her - her speed jumps about 10 mph. The girl's got a lot a of energy, but her dad is a little concerned that it's not tunneled in the right direction for true athlete :) She's more concerned about what's going around her.

Those little legs ran three miles  in 43 minutes:)  So proud of her!

 She really is beautiful .....Inside and Out!
