Let Me Run is a national running program through the elementary school for boys and I think middle schools as well. It is not only a running program but inspires boys to be themselves, to be active and to build healthy relationships. This is Ryan's second session with the program this year. He and a few of his buddies all participated, especially his best bud, Alex. They run 2 days a week after school and talk about subjects from bullying to friendships. One of the days Josh McCown from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came by to talk to them and run with them and even play a game of touch football. His sons go to the elementary school and are in the program. Ryan said it was cool!

After about 8-9 weeks the program ends with a 5k with all of the local schools in the area. This year there were about 30-40 schools. Before the race, they have a bounce house, bubble blowing machines, tables set up for tattoos for the kids, you can make signs for your runner, color your hair green. It was a great morning.
And afterwards they have protein drinks, bananas, yogurts and of course the icee truck! Each runner gets a medal when they cross the finish line.
