Moms on the Run

For today's training tip, our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, talks about keeping the run fun. Listen in as she offers some simple suggestions. 

On July 3rd 2017, two Moms on the Run participants in Eau Claire, WI posted about a last minute idea for a pop up run in their team's private Facebook group.

A small group gathered the next morning….and a tradition was born.
