It was a very positive experience that myself and my students had from participating in the JUST RUN Program. To begin with it really got me involved in being more physically active for my own health; my kids saw this and wanted the same for themselves. I started running with my kids. This supported all students especially the ones that struggle due to childhood obesity. The students told me that they learned about never giving up. They also said that peers became a huge support. They got parents involved. My students including myself are learning to live and lead healthier lives and continue to stay active. This is a win-win situation for all teachers, students, and parents who become involved.
