meet head coach heidi!

I live in Farmington with my husband of 26 years. We have three kids (ages 18, 19, and 22) and 2 crazy dogs, Louie and Luna. I have been a Special Education teacher for 29 years and coached both Track & Field and Cross Country for about 18 of those years.
I've always been a runner and have found that it is a great stress reliever, as well as a way to connect with others who love running. I have run everything from 5Ks to Half Marathons to Ragnar Relays. I have been an MOTR Coach for almost a year, and I love the variety of workouts and the friendships I’ve made. |

Since then she's ran various distances such as 5Ks, 10ks, several half marathons and two full Twin Cities Marathon in 2017. She's been coaching MOTR since 2017 and have met some amazing women whom she continues to admire and whose company brings her so much joy and happiness. Her most recent (for the past two years) obsession has been CrossFit. She attends five times per week while continues to run and coach with MOTR on the weekends. |

meet coach nancy!
|
Hello! I live in Farmington and have been a preschool teacher for 15 years. I have two children aged 19 and 20 yrs old. Other than running, I enjoy reading, going to music concerts, and being outdoors.
I have always been interested in running and thought "it looked fun." I found Moms On the Run about 5 years ago and have been a member ever since. I started out walking, then to running intervals, and completed my first 10k in 2021! I'm a testament that anybody can do it! I'm excited to be apart of this amazing group of women to offer encouragement, support, and a good laugh! |
