Lucy (LOLA Girls Mill Valley) our newest LOLA Ambassador

May 19th, 2011

Lucy's story as told by her mom, Amy.

"We are so proud of Lucy and are very excited that this door has opened for her. She just completed her first session of LOLA, and found that running is something she loves, is good at, and makes her feel great! She thoroughly enjoyed the process and along the way, gained confidence and pride. I (Mom) have been running for many years, but lately it has been so routine that I have neglected to push myself. Running with Lucy lately has been an eye opener. Her pace is a bit faster than my normal pace, and I am completely inspired to break out of my pattern and push myself. It is a great feeling to be inspired by your 10 year old daughter!

Lucy and I ran out first 5k together recently. We finished well and had a great time doing it. We are looking forward to our next race and are committed to finishing even stronger next time.

Lucy loved her experience at LOLA, and was very sad to find out that she had to wait until the fall for her next session. We are all grateful to Coach Kim & LOLA for helping Lucy, and many others, discover this new found love."
