Girls on the Run 5k

Mattea joined the Girls on the Run program offered through her elementary school. The group met twice a week for 8 weeks where they would walk, run and talk about issues that girls face in the world. At the end of the program, all of the girls were signed up to run a 5k race called The Candy Run. I totally lucked out and Uncle Terry happened to be in town the day Mattea and I were going to run the race, so they were able to run it together.

They did their stretches before we left for the race...

they did handstands when they got to the race...

they did cartwheels during the race...

and they held hands while running the race... like the ENTIRE time... how adorable is that???
