Our Douglas Girls on the Run participants and coaches ran a Practice 5K (3.1 miles) today. The girls did an amazing job! They were determined, had a positive attitude, and cheered one another on throughout the run. A huge “Thanks” to HarleyQuinn and her Mom for mapping out the route, writing encouraging words along the route and setting up a water station. Also, thank you Latchkey for cheering us on at the finish line. 🐯
