1) Service Project: One day for practice, the girls and other coaches and I worked for an hour weeding and planting flowers around the gazebo area at Hastings Middle School. It looked 100 times better when we were done! The yellow and gold flowers made the gazebo look a lot more welcoming for the kids who will use it in the future.
2) Practice 5k: Last Tuesday, the girls did a "practice 5k" to prepare for the read deal! The weather was rainy and cold but spirits were high and they all did quite well despite Mother Nature :)
3) THE 5K RACE!!!: Sunday was the girls' 5k race! The weather was beautiful and they all ran so well! All 7 girls started out the race together and and even though they had spread out by the end, the other coaches and I were able to distribute ourselves so that no one was alone. All of them ran under 35 minutes, which is truly amazing for 6th and 7th grade girls. They got medals, t-shirts, and headbands, but I think the girls would agree that the best prize was the feeling of accomplishment they got at the end.
