Running seven years with Moms on the Run and completing 13 half marathons, she was certain 13.1 was her body's max. Her team, however, inspired her to think differently. Bobbi decided to register and train for her first marathon in the spring of 2019. Two weeks before race day, unfortunately, her goal was cut short when she received crushing news: She had colon cancer.
 We're excited to announce that American long-distance runner Deena Kastor will be one of our guest speakers during our Beach Break virtual run retreat, Jan. 29-30.
Deena holds American records in the marathon and numerous road distances. She won the bronze medal in the women's marathon at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece. She is also an eight-time national champion in cross country. But her dominant career didn't just happen with physical training. In fact, like you and I, she dealt with major disappointments that could have ended her career. Instead, she learned how to use her mind and change how she thought about running to power her goals. We'll talk about that mental journey during our Beach Break weekend. Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, regularly shares training tips to help us strengthen our running, fitness and health. Today's topic revolves around endurance. How can we safely build endurance? Try adding on to your warm-up or cool down or choose non-impact exercises to help add minutes. Listen in!  Let's face it — there has been more ho ho hum than jolly this year. Our daily schedules and our holiday gatherings may look a bit different this season, but one constant remains: the need for inspiration and accountability. Enter our popular Healthy Holiday Challenge. In the spirit of doing things different in 2020, we have revitalized this challenge to make it simple, easy and fun.
