I've been a runner for almost 20 years now. 2004 was my first 5k race, followed by my first half marathon and marathon in 2005. Since then, I've run all 50 states and multiple countries. Running hasn't just brought me fitness, it's brought me countless friends, experiences, confidence, and so much more.
I cannot stress how important it is to encourage our girls at an early age that they are capable of ANYTHING that they choose to do. Today's beginner runners are tomorrow's marathoners, doctors, astronauts, teachers. It all starts with teaching every girl "you can!"
