Girls on the Run 5K-Western North Carolina

Girls on the Run is a non-profit organization that encourages preteen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running. On December 12th, 2009 the Western North Carolina chapter held its 5k race for these girls at the UNCA Campus.

Despite the below 35 degree temperatures, these cheerful girls and their running buddies had a blast. My friend Rachel introduced me to this organization and asked me if I would want to volunteer to take pictures of the race. I was incredibly glad I did, this is a great organization and it was so wonderful to see girls outdoors and having a great time.

Below are some pictures from the race.

Canoe Camping- Tyger River, SC

Every Thanksgiving we go canoe camping, I can't think of a more perfect way to be thankful than to float down a river for a few days.
