Announcing the May #MOTRstrong Contest Winner

There’s strong. And there’s #MOTRstrong, when running with other women gives you a leg up on the rest. It's that special "awesomesauce" that powers you through the next training run or race, or helps you along other life challenges in your path. ​This year Moms on the Run has challenged you to share what makes you feel connected, confident and STRONG through the 2016 #MOTRstrong Instagram Contest. Special thanks to Canvas Health for help rewarding our first monthly prize winner.

I have lungs and legs that work for me, a sweet spring morning and this neighborhood of lakes. It's a blessing to use this beautifully imperfect body and to come home to a beautifully imperfect family after this beautiful run. ~ #irunthisbody #inspiringwomenrunners #bamr #motherrunner #motrstrong #momsontherun #seenatalieruntwv #runhappy #mnrunner #womensrunningcommunity #unstoppable
