Girls on the Run was fun. We trained for the big race. It was called the 5k. We ran 3.1 miles. I and April came in second place with the time of 30 minutes. We were both happy that we came in second place. When we were running Mrs. Acton stuck with us the whole time. Something that wasn’t funny when we were running a girl spit on my shoes.
