GO FAR Through the Eyes of a Fifth Grader
Submitted by Anonymous on Mar 19th 2014 - 11:00AM. | Perma LinkMy name is Frank Hale and I am in the fifth grade. I have done three GO FAR sessions.
I ran my first 5K after training in GO FAR. Since then, I have had a passion for running. GO FAR gave me the confidence to run in additional 5Ks outside of the ones that we ran as part of the GO FAR sessions.
In the program, I learned how to set goals, train regularly, and I enjoyed training with my friends. I also learned about healthy eating habits. We also learned what to do when running a 5K – for example, moving over to let others past, communicating with our teammates, and pacing.
I think that GO FAR is a great program because it helped me to be active, healthy, and fit.
