My name is Shelly Peters and I am thrilled to help bring Moms on the Run to Eau Claire. To put it simply, I love running. Back in high school, I initially joined Cross Country just to get out of taking Phy Ed. Twenty years later I am still running! One of my favorite things about running is that it helps you get to know your city and connect with people around you. I moved to Eau Claire three years ago and running has helped me get to know the area as well as meet some of my closest friends here. Running has also helped me stay in shape and keep my head clear through three pregnancies. I have run two marathons, several half marathons and dozens of shorter races. Training for an event keeps me motivated to put on those shoes even on the laziest or most demanding of days. I am excited to help motivate the “hopeful” runner to become the “confident” runner, and to help challenge the experienced runner to step into new territory.

Hi! My name is Sarah and I am excited to begin my first year with Moms on the Run! I grew up in Eau Claire, and Karissa, the founder of MOTR, is a good friend and former running buddy of mine. We ran Cross Country together at Memorial High School and I appreciate both the approach and leadership that Karissa has brought to MOTR.

I have never been the fastest nor strongest runner, but running has always been important to me. Unfortunately, the daily demands of being a mother of four (ages 3-8), work, school, and life became my “excuses” for not running anymore. Two years ago, I finally had enough and took a “no excuses” approach to running. Shortly after this shift in my thinking, I ran my first half-marathon. I can’t even begin to explain how much fun it has been to get back into shape, relieve stress, and go on runs with friends again. There is NO way that I could ever stop running now! I find that I need it as part of my weekly routine, as it keeps me grounded and refreshed as a wife, mother, and friend.
