My team was cheering for me

Girls on the Run is an important club because you can get exercise while making friends and having fun. Girls on the Run includes many lessons to teach how to be kind to others, build strength and learn how to be a good teammate. My most memorable moment from Girls on the Run was running the 5k because I got to spend time with my teammates and have fun exercising. On the 5k morning, all of the girls had on the same shirts. We stood by our school sign and had fun decorating it. Before the race we got to do fun activities, such as spray painting hair, taking pictures in photo booth and getting tattoos. Finishing my first 5k race made me feel happy because my team was cheering for me. When I was running the 5k I had to walk with my mom but I had fun trying to catch her with my team. I liked walking around the neighborhood and seeing people cheer for me on the streets.
