GOTR Spirit Day

September 19th was Girls on the Run Spirit day. This is a day for GOTR girls all over the country to show their Girls on the Run support! The Wise Girls of Wiseman all sported their favorite 5K or alumni t-shirt and joined in for a HUGE group photo! We are so proud of all our Girls on the Run here at J W Wiseman.

GOTR Session 1 Snapshots

Girls on the Run is off to a sensational start. The girls really enjoyed getting to know each other and learn their new Girls on the Run name! Kickin' Coach Kim, Active Amy, and Jumpin' Coach Jennifer led the girls in some get to know you running games that not only helped the girls get to know each other, but also helped them build team spirit and support! It is going to be one fabulous season.

Count down to GOTR Fall 2013

The count down is on to our first GOTR session of the season. The weather may be a bit warm so wear something lightweight and light in color. You may want to bring a ball cap or ponytail holder, too. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow afternoon!

GOTR Intro. August 2013

GOTR Spring Season Snapshots

Our Spring season of GOTR was such a huge success. We are all so proud of the girls for being so open and accepting during our time together. They all showed so much kindness and support to one another throughout the entire season. We spent most of our running days inside mainly due to the rainy winter weather. It seemed just perfect when our final 5k was run on a cool, rainy Saturday! The girls did not let the rains soak out all the fun! They embraced their final 5k run and gave 100% their best with every step! Check out the snapshots of the Spring 2013 GOTR season below!

Spring Break

Girls on the Run sessions will not meet the week of March 25th due to Spring Break. With only about 1 month until our Girls on the Run 5k, it may be a good idea to do a little running over your Spring Break.

Remember...
* Get lost in your run by thinking about things on your mind
* Set a steady pace..not too fast, not too slow
* Drink plenty of water about an hour before your run
* Challenge yourself to go just a little bit further or a little bit longer
* HAVE RUN AND ENJOY YOUR RUN

The Girls on the Run have kept such a sunny-positive attitude as our sessions have continued to take place indoors due to cold/rainy weather. This week our sessions have focused on things we are grateful for and the importance of taking the time to relax and decompress. We are definitely grateful that the forecast shows warm and sunny weather in our near future. Check out some of the snapshots of these sensational Girls on the Run-indoor style!

Session 2: Spring 2013

Even though it was a bit cool and drizzly, our second session was outstanding! These Wise Girls learned all about throwing out their yucky "cord" and plugging in their bright, sparkly, GOTR cord. This cord makes you believe in yourself and feel good about who you are! Keeping the GOTR cord plugged in helps us feel our best each and every day. While running, the girls collected small pieces of rope to help them count their laps. At the end of the session, the girls connected all the pieces together to create one gigantic GOTR cord! When the Wise Girls work together and support each other, the GOTR cord grows stronger and brighter for everyone!

Session 1 Spring 2013

Our first session of Wise Girls Run/GOTR was fantastic. We have 12 sensational girls eager to be a part of this program. We learned that most of the girls love chocolate but some like to play basketball while others prefer to read. It was a great first session to get to know each other better and have some girly fun. Check out our Spring 2013 Wise Girls Run/GOTR girls:
