Running the Race - March 10, 2012

         If there is one thing I understand as a full time student, Miss America titleholder,daughter, and sibiling, it is running! We all do it, everyday. Sometimes we run so fast, our lives literally begin to fly by. So, it's good every now and then to stop and purposefully take the time to invest in something meaningful.
I had the opportunity to do that this past weekend volunteering with The Forum Theatre in Jonesoro, AR on their annual Family 5K run fundraiser.
The Forum is a non-profit arts organization that produces plays, puts on workshops, and encourages arts involvment for the community. I've had the privilege to seem a couple of plays there, and they work hard to make their performances excellent!
The 5k seemed to be a great success. There were approxiametly 341 "runners" (some walked) who participated all the way from stroller bound young ones to slightly more mature individuals.



Before the race, I worked with two young ladies from ASU, members of Alpha Gamma Delta, on sorting arrivals and giving them their packs and t-shirts.
