let me run

This fall, Christopher participated in Let Me Run- a program that inspires boys through the power of running to be courageous enough to be themselves, to build healthy relationships, and to live active lifestyles.  He stayed after school twice a week for seven weeks in order to train for the culminating 5K event.

Ready to run!!

LET ME RUN BOYS are courageous enough to be themselves.

LET ME RUN BOYS push themselves to be fit in body, mind, and spirit.

LET ME RUN BOYS are loyal friends who encourage and support others.

LET ME RUN BOYS trust that teamwork, unity, respect and perseverance open doors to greatness.

LET ME RUN BOYS are honest with themselves and others.

The 5k was held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway and the last mile was on the racetrack!

Christopher finished his first 5k in 36 minutes!  Way to go!!

We checked out Speedway Christmas- a display with over 3 million lights- after the 5k.
