That is really cool. I have always wanted to start some kind of fitness/running program for kids in my area. I just haven't figured out how to fit it in.
Go Pre!

...mikeE//....do they still have the President's Council on Physical Fitness??
they should have some ideas.
I still have my medal from 1964
..nothing takes the place of persistence.....
Yes, Tom--they do still do the Presidential Physical Fitness tests. I've always wanted to do more during the summer months. Especially with the cost of all these sports getting so out of hand. I really should check out their website, though...that's not a bad idea.
By the way--I have a very long Presidential Physical Fitness Award story of my own to tell...but I'll save it for another day...

Another interesting article on a running mentoring program for low-income teens. I like the honesty about hurdles and limited effects.
