![]() Imagine moving across the world to a foreign country, where you are not fluent in the language nor know many people. Jacksonville (FL) Moms on the Run member Mariko DeMeyer did just that 15 years ago, when she moved from Japan to the United States. She says people had a hard time understanding her English and she often felt embarrassed, so she isolated herself, never considering the idea of joining any American groups or clubs — until she saw a Moms on the Run ad on Facebook. What happened next surprised even her. Read more of Mariko's story and learn why she's our inspiring member of the month. At Moms on the Run, February is MOTRvate28 — a month-long challenge aimed at helping you to set and maintain healthy habits. Today, our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, gets us moving with a quick exercise: 45-seconds of burpees. Add it into your workout today!
