 Last fall, Hastings Moms on the Run member Mandy Wessinger literally took each day step by step after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Today, she's cancer free and back running with her Moms on the Run team.
According to Christine Hitchcock, franchise owner of Hastings Moms on the Run, Mandy has more grit than anyone she knows. "She puts her mind to something and she will put in the work and accomplish what she set out for. She is also so supportive of others and is always cheering others on. If a fellow MOTR is training for a longer distance, she will run by her side to support her all the way." Listen in on our conversation with Mandy and learn why she's our inspiring member of the month.

Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, regularly shares training tips to help us strengthen our running, fitness and health. Today, she shares some of her favorite warm-up exercises for the upper body. Properly warming up our muscles before a run and cooling them down post-run are important to preventing injury, taking care of your heart and helping reduce muscle and joint soreness. A proper warm-up consists of 5-10 minutes of aerobic activity to loosen those muscles and get your warmed up: brisk walking, marching, jogging, and cycling. A proper cool-down involves 5-10 minutes of a slower jog where your heartrate and breathing return to normal.  Ready for an adventure? No planes, trains or automobiles allowed on this trip.
