MOMS ON THE RUN

The holidays are approaching, which means it's party season. Tempting appetizers, drinks and a slew of activities can put a damper on all of the work you've done throughout the year toward your fitness and health. Once again, we bring you our annual Healthy Holiday Challenge. Simple and sustainable healthy behaviors are key during this hectic month. Choose what lifestyle habit you want to work on each week and keep us posted on your progress. Our goal is to help you maintain your weight and keep you accountable during this busy, festive season — all while having some fun. And since they were so popular last year, once again we'll be featuring #healthyselfies and additional prize opportunities! ​

After seeing posts from the Lakeville/Burnsville group, Jamie had ‘join Moms on the Run’ on her to-do list for a while. Last spring, the stars finally aligned and Jamie Schmitt registered for her first season. 

One of the best parts of running is showing her 3-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, the joys of getting out and being healthy. Brooklyn often joins her mom and other kids to run now, and is quick to ask, “Are we going running with the ladies?”

While enjoying this sport with her daughter, Jamie has also come to appreciate the comradery of the group and loves the tips and support from Coach Kim, especially when they’re out on hills. Doing it together, pushes Jamie to drive a little harder and lift a little heavier. “It’s inspiring to see every level come together and motivate each other on the group runs and intervals.” 

The Twin Cities metro area is home to some fun, picturesque, engaging places. We invite you to our next contest: the 2019 Twin Cities Photo Run!

We have compiled a list of places around the Twin Cities metro area for this adventure. Your challenge, if you decide to take it, is to find the locations listed, head there, and take your photo. The more places you visit, the better chances you have to win. You can make it as creative as you'd like: show us your team, your friends, your family, your furry family member. 

The rules are as follows:

1. Print off the Google Spreadsheet for a list of locations. 
2. Choose one or more locations to visit throughout the challenge and take your photo. 
3. Upload and tag your photos on instagram or Facebook (make sure it's public) with the hashtags #MOTRonTour and #2019TwinCitiesPhotoRun, along with the location. Each photo on social media earns you one point, or two points if you are sporting MOTR gear!
4. Count up your points to turn it in at the end to your franchise owner; we will award high scorers as well as award prizes randomly throughout the contest period as we share your photos! The contest runs May 11-June 30.
