Girls on the Run

Yesterday's 5K run was the culmination of Lily's participation in this year's Girls on the Run program at her school. Girls on the Run focuses on creating positive body image and self-esteem for girls.
We all ran with Lily, along with friends. It's quite a festive event, with music, hair color and costumes to distract you from the actual running. (Amalia had more fun than it appears here--we'd just asked her to quit goofing around so we could take a picture.) 
 Lining up for the start. 
The younger girls alternated between sauntering along like gossipy teenagers in a mall to full out sprinting. 
Lily also alternated between running and walking, as was her plan.
