Own Your Awesomeness.
Silent cheer! To end each Girls on the Run practice, we give out “energy awards.” A girl can give an award to herself or someone else, and tells everyone why the person deserves that award. The girl receiving the award stands in the middle of the circle while everyone else cheers for them. (They look like this.)... Read more »

Fearless in 2011
In 2011, I’m resolving to be fearless. I’m going to do something that, this time last year, I never imagined I’d be doing. (In fact, I very frequently told people it wouldn’t.) On August 14, I am going to swim 1.2 miles, then get on a bike and ride 56 miles, and finish by running... Read more »

I Did It!
My cousin’s husband, John, snapped this photo at Mile 11. I pretty much felt like this the whole race. This Sunday, I proved to myself that with hard work and a positive attitude, you can do anything. Anything. You can even go from the girl who used to cry the night before “the mile” in... Read more »

Meet The Blogger
Lauren Kaminsky
I’m a 26-year-old who is passionate about many things, and still trying to figure out exactly what I want to be when I grow up. I love empowering young women, training for and participating in triathlons (because calling what I do racing is a stretch), and giving a voice to all the thoughts floating around in my head. Most of the time, you’ll find me running, biking, and swimming, in no particular order, training for as many races as I can cram into my weekends. I also enjoy rocking out to Hanson (yes, the band that hit it big with “Mmmbop” in 1997), watching Glee with my husband, giggling with my girl friends, and drinking way too much Diet Coke.
