Running Buddies
The New York Road Runners Foundation establishes and supports running-based physical education programs for children in underserved communities across the United States. They offer various volunteer activities included the opportunity to be a "running buddy" during a race with a child. Today was my first opporunity to participate as a running buddy. The kids participate in a running program sponsored by the NYRR Foundation. I was assigned to one school and ran with 2 12 year old girls. My goal was to help encourage them through the race. It was a 4 mile race and the longest they had run previously was 2 miles. It was so much fun! Not only is it amazing to be able to run, but it is so satisfying to be able to help others with their running. I can't wait to do it again!
